Sunday Best

Cameron had to work this weekend and so I asked him to chose Emalyn's outfit for church on Sunday. Of course, we had to capture it in a photograph so Daddy could see his little girl all dressed up...as you can see she is so pretty in pink!

After our walk that night, Emalyn and I decided to sit on the living room chair and relax, then Quincy decided to join us. He actually rested his head on my shoulder and fell asleep!! We enjoyed our selves until it was Emalyn's bathtime.

This photo actually took forever to get because Emalyn has learned to close her eyes just before the flash....smart little girl. We end up with a lot of closed eyes, squinting eyes or just plain funny shots!

Watching Tummy Time

Emmy's Busy Day

Emalyn is sitting pretty here in a dress as we were getting ready to go to a baby shower for a friend from church. This friend, Amy, has helped us alot in our adjustment together, as she is due to have her fourth....this will be the third girl, and the eldest is a boy. Since she started going to our church about the same time we started going there, the people thought we should have a little something for her....yay!

Here we see Emalyn getting comfortable with Vi McLellan. She has 12 great grandkids! Emmy loves to be in "experienced" arms.

After the Shower, I came home and got Emalyn in some comfortabe pants and a cute shirt that says "I (heart) Mommy." You can't really see it here in this photo, but I just HAD to mention it!! :)

And finally after Emalyn's bath, here is Cameron reading a story to her right before her last feeding. She gets very still and focuses intently on the images and words. Hopefully we are going to raise a book lover! Sorry-the first photo is kind of blurry, but the second one is much better!

Huh?!!?

This is Cameron and my new favorite photo. Love that expression!
My two favorite people!!

Getting a Grip

As promised, here is a video of Emmy beginning to hold blocks with her own two hands....of course whatever she picks up, immediately gets brought to her saliva covered lips! And, the tongue makes it out as well, adding even more saliva to the mix....but that's what one does at 4 months, right?

Blocks

Here Emalyn and I were playing with the blocks in the background. She's getting quite adept at grabbing them with both her hands and bringing them to her mouth. I will be posting a video of that soon!!

I had to get a shot of one of my favorite sleepers Emmy lounges in. The sleeper is just getting to the point where it will be too small (length wise). Her little toes already pull the fabric pretty tight...maybe one more week? We'll see!

A good friend of mine from IL (we met and became friends at church summer camp) made this absolutely adorable cap for Emmy. I love it, and Emmy is the prefect model for it!
Thanks Jacki, it came in perfect time for the fall!!

Bath Time!!

I don't remember the exact date this was taken, but it is definitely within the first 2 weeks of September. Emalyn's favorite time of the day is bath time as you will see....please ignore my horrible singing voice. At least she doesn't seem to mind?!?!!

Tummy Time!

As you can see, Emalyn has a nice bald spot formed on the back of her head....seeing that development has caused me to realize she must be getting plenty of time then on her back, and so here we are working on tummy time by our back sliding glass doors. I am surprised I was able to even get a photo, becuase for some reason, she did NOT want to work on building those biceps!
On another note, these are one of my favorite pairs of pants that Emalyn wears. Sadly, they too are getting too small...a little short to be exact! I think I love how dizzying they are....not to mention, how colorful!!! It's okay, I understand most people either love 'em or hate 'em, there's no in between! :)

Happy Patriot's Day!

My New Shoes

After church today we had to capture Emalyn's new metallic Mary Janes. Well, her outfit too, becuase it in no way will fit her again! You can tell the little sleeves are going to be way too short-I am glad we got to use it once! Any way Back to the shoes....Cameron picked them out Saturday from Babies 'R Us....after I saw them, I just couldn't refuse. They're so cute!















Later that day, we were getting ready for our walk. Here is Emalyn in her Bumbo with her fleece set. We have had to abandon the strollers as she fusses the whole walk back to the house....she prefers to be in a carrier now. We'll see how long that lasts.









And of course, Quincy waiting to go out on the walk with us!
