Sunday Evening

Although these are pretty much blurry, you can still tell the fun we had the Sunday night....
Laughing and Smiling....

And more smiling....

And more laughing....

And just plain having a good time!

Can't show the photo...

Being the wonderful, normal parents that we are, thinking that even our daughter's spit up is beautiful, I have decided to spare you the image Cam and I recently took of Emalyn....and her adorable smile.....while sitting up.....next to her first...firm...turd.

:)

Sittin' On Up

I've definitely gotten much better at sitting up....

WHAT!?!?!? Yes, all by myself. (I was watching Quincy play with his dragon, he growled at it and I always gets somewhat surprised as you can see in my eyes.)

Aren't I doing well?!?


This is just to show you how I flop around....I did better than mommy & daddy thought I could-they're really proud of me :)

6 Months Old

No, Quincy isn''t that young anymore...but we wanted to get this cute one of him in the blog since it really did turn out so nicely....Emalyn is now 6 months old! Hard to believe. The quilt you see in the photos, I actually made. Not one of my best, but it comes in handy for "rolling over" time and "sitting up" time. We prefer her to not get dog hair all over her should we place her on the carpet :)

Sunny November Days

Unbelievably, today in Minnesota hit high temps in the 70's. It was beautiful, and so we had to keep Emalyn in the same spirit with a daisy/sunflower dress Cameron had picked out. She is workingon sitting up by herself, thus she is looking like she may eat her shoes at any given moment....

Then she decided she wanted to look shy....

And this one would have been the best shot if my lousy wrist brace wasn't so obnoxious.
BIG CHEESE, here!

Way Overdue

Although I have kept pretty up to date with Emalyn's progress in everyday life-I had yet to post these photographs from August. Emalyn was 3 months old. I seriously LOVE every single one of these shots....



Especially this next one...






Have I mentioned she is a smiley little thing? This next one is how she greets me EVERY single morning when I wake her up. Not kidding, every single morning. Love it.

Our 'Lil Punkin'

Emalyn was asked to dress up at daycare with her schoolmates and take photographs...so at home before we left for the day, I snapped these shots. She's so patient, isn't she?

And of course we couldn't leave out our Bumble Q. Gotta love the antenna!

Miss Collegiate

Yes, it's a blazer...need I say more!!??!?

Apple Orchard

So on a crisp Fall day we decided it was time to go to the apple orchard. As you can see we already had our prime time for the leaves changing color and the majority have fallen to the ground. The first photo is outside our front door.


We visited an orchard called Emma Krumbee's. We have passed it numerous occasions as it is right off 169 south, but have never stopped to get any apples or pies or yummy treats. Now that we have a kid, I guess we will make point of stopping at these kinds of places more often! Cameron and Emalyn became scarecrows and mommy fed the goats/miniature horses/donkeys.


Then we went on a tractor ride. Along the ride there was a stop to get pumpkins-but we just went along for the ride. You can actually pick strawberries at this orchard too-behind the tractor there are rows and rows of strawberries...maybe next year!

Lastly, we were able to enjoy a kid's train ride. I was holding Emalyn and Cameron took the shot. She looks like she loved it doesn't she!??! HA!


All throughout the orchard, were scarecrows. There was some kind of competition....and actually, I am not even sure who won....but I liked these two the best. All the veggies on the stand are fake except for the gourds. That's why I thought this one was worthy of a photo. Hard work to make it look realistic!

HAPPY AUTUMN!!

Open Wide!

So, I think Emalyn has finally gotten the hang of eating and now proceeds to open her mouth to let me know SHE is ready to have the next bite. We used to have to tease her to open her mouth by touching one of her lips with the spoon-not anymore! It could just be because they were sweet potatoes....?
