Meeting Lillian Gray

My friend & neighbor, Paige, came over with her new baby girl, Lillian Gray. Lillian is only 3 weeks old, and was so good & I can not get over how much hair she has!!! Well, any hair compared to Emma is a lot. Emma put on a show for her new friend, and was jumping all around and TALKING up a storm! And of course, wanted to touch the baby.

It was amazing to me to think that Emma & Lillian are just 6 months apart, and comparing the two in size. Crazy...


Emma checking out sweet baby, Lillian...


Look Mama (not sure if you can tell, but Emma has her bow in her hand) :)


We have to touch everything/everybody

Rainy Day

Yesterday was a RAINY day!! I think we got almost 5 inches of rain!! Pam came to watch Emma for the day, and they had fun & did a lot of reading, singing... Emma had to bundle up in her cute outfit (another cute one from SuSu) and socks, with the chill in the air. Here are some pictures I took from yesterday after I got home from work.

Every day I am SO thankful for our sweet girl, Emma is just the best baby in the world (I am sure every mother feels that way) in our opinion - every day we talk about how lucky we are. She really is so sweet, always happy, laughs/smiles all the time, very social, so funny, is a good eater and GREAT sleeper! For the past few months, she has been sleeping 7 pm - 6:30 am solidly, with an occasional cry out. And on th weekends, sleeps most of the time until 7am! Funny, how sleeping in to 7:00 am is a treat now! She always wakes up with the biggest smile on her face, I love it. Since Emma has learned to put that paci in her mouth at night, our nights are much more restful! We could not be more blessed. :)


So funny in his picture - must be in deep thought




Sneaking in the yawns (she only takes two naps a day now)




I just always want to pinch those cheeks of hers


Look at her, she is on the move!!


Funny girl


Love her!!!!

Blocks & Bumbo

I brought out Emma's first toy today for her to play with, some plastic blocks. Boy, she got excited and wanted to put all of them in her mouth! She was actually most excited about the container they came in, go figure!

Also, just a few pictures of Emma after dinner. No mess tonight, she looked too cute.


Wish I could fit all of these blocks in my mouth!




My happy girl, loves her some SWEET PEAS!

Nashville...

We went to Nashville for the afternoon to visit with Court's side of the family, and for his MaMa's 95th birthday. Unfortunately MaMa is sick with double pneumonia right now, so we had a quick visit with her at rehab. But had a nice meal at Pam's house with everyone. Court's cousin, Jenny, was in town for the birthday celebration so it was great seeing her. And we also swung by BB's on our way out of town. It was a fun afternoon. :)

Saturday - Maybe our new favorite day?!

Personally, this might my new favorite day now that Courtney does not work weekends. Boy, I made a long list and we accomplished sooo much and still had time to play. What a great feeling that is, and now not most of the responsibility is placed on me to get things done.

I made Emma some sweet peas, and they are her favorite so far! Making her food has been easier than I thought it would be actually. I am using my mini chopper food processor and bought a nice ice cube tray from Crate & Barrell, and it is done! We have made sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and now sweet peas. I think I am going to try green beans next this weekend. I am glad Emma is liking her greens so far!

Cutest Fanny Ever!

Here are a cute few pictures of Emma's backside after her bath. I know one day she will not like me showing these, so I will show them now. ;) Too cute. Amazing how a 16 pound baby can have dimples...

How Big is Emma? So Big.....

Between my parents & Pam, Emma has been learning 'So Big'. She now can do it on command, when she wants too that is! :) But when she does it, she thinks it is so funny and does it over and over!
