Lately

We have become a rolly polly lately. I will lay Emily down on her back and seconds later she is on her belly. She is SO sweet and has also recently found her LOUD voice!
It's cute but can be embarrassing when you're out to dinner or during church!

We are still toothless! Her gums are starting to bother her again. It's like it comes and goes... Poor thing! I hope it's not too hard on her.

We have recently started sleeping in our own bed. She has done really well and has always been a good sleeper. Of course I slept extra light those first few days because it was hard having her across the house and not right there next to me. I watched the video monitor like a hawk and checked on her often!
We can now pull ourselves up to a sitting position in our bouncy seat and car seat! We have been working on sitting up on our own in the floor too.
She gets so excited when she does this that she falls over! HA

This sweet little girl is growing so fast, I can't keep up!

Catch Up Post


It seems that I have gotten WAY behind in blogging! Yikes... Time gets away so fast and then before you know it MANY things have come and gone and I never got around to sharing them. So here we go!
WARNING: LONG post below! Enjoy!


Emily with the McSpadden girls! We were at their soon to be baby sisters baby shower. They LOVED holding Emily and got some great practice in during the shower.
Aren't they just precious? They will make great big sisters and hopefully teach Emily how to be one someday!

What are these things Mom?
We are NOT a fan of green beans! Bless her heart she just gagged and made horrible faces with every bite. HA.... We will keep trying them and hope she gets use to them!

Lunch with some friends and our babies in Conway!
We forgot to take a picture at lunch with all of us. It was great catching up with them and having an adult conversation but of course we mainly just talked about our sweet babies.

We are ready to take this little cutie to the beach!
Just 1 more month and her little toes will be in the sand and her little booty will be in her first bathing suit! Can't hardly wait!

Ready for her bedtime stories... Such a happy girl!

Out getting a pedicure with Meggan.
We are starting her out early with a little girl time and fresh toes! HA
She enjoyed it so much she fell asleep halfway through.

Dinner with The Creamers! I laugh every time I look at this picture.
Notice Emily is staring at the couple in the booth making out rather than the camera! HA
Oh goodness...

At the bowling ally for cousin Jeremy's birthday party. He was so sweet to stop and pose for a picture in the midst of playing arcade games.

Jax recording his putt-putt scores... because that's what you do he said! HA

Jeremy's birthday cupcakes turned out SOOO cute!!
WOO PIG SOOIE!!!

That was pretty much a catch up from April! HA
Hopefully I can keep up during May....

Nothing better than a clean smelling baby!

Easter 2011


We had a wonderful Easter!
It was pretty low key due to the nasty weather but very memorable. Easter service at church was packed but so good, followed by a yummy lunch.
I love celebrating and starting new traditions as a family of 3! So special and I hope I never forget any of it.
I have come to except that it will be a VERY long time before I get any pictures with all of us looking at the camera! HA

This sweet little girl has NO idea how blessed and loved she is!
The Easter Bunny was out of control this year.
She had no idea what was going on but just sat in awe of everything.

Off to eat Easter lunch!

Not to rush time but I can't wait until she is old enough to dye Easter Eggs, go on Easter egg hunts and learn about the meaning of Easter.

Birthday Wishes

The sign & smile says it all!


We love you Jeremy and hope you have a great day!
So hard to believe 8 years have already passed.

This was a picture from last night. We went over to visit and wish him an early happy birthday!! He is so sweet with her, it just makes us smile!

Wally World


Last night I had the pleasure of shopping ALONE at Wal-Mart! Emily stayed home with Daddy for a change.
As much as I DISLIKE going to Wal-Mart... the trip was much easier and more enjoyable going solo.
Ya'll it's hard carring a 20lb baby carrier across a LARGE parking lot to get a nasty cart that is usually broken! It never fails I always grab the one with the wobbly wheel. HA
So before I'm even get in the store I'm exhausted but baby needs diapers, food, etc., so onward we go. HA! But this trip I hopped my happy self out of the car and walked right in! What a treat!

Since I had all this extra time on my hands, I was able to scope out some new items.
Here are a few of my finds...

This would be great for little lunches!

We LOVE this in the summer and hopefully this flavor will be a nice change!
Hashbrowns in 5min! YUM


When I got home Mike said Emily had broke him in good. She had a BIG shooie diaper that was out of control! I guess the carrots didn't agree with her tummy! HA
