Video of Emily Playing on July 23d

Look at Em Go!

lounging and napping

We've been doing a lot of running around as of late, but there is always time in Emily's day to lounge and nap...check her out.

Lily gets in on the lounging too

playtime

Check out Emily on her play mat.  She is getting really good at swatting stuff with her little hands. and grabbing things too!

manis with Daddy

Daddy had taken a very important weekly task upon himself...giving Emily manicures- well keeping her nails filed down so she doesn't scratch herself (and us) to death with those baby talons!!  While she doesn't love them, she usually tolerates them pretty well. Thanks Daddy you're the BEST!

check out the curled toes!

busy girl

Emily has been busy these last couple of weeks.  We've gone with Daddy to visit the Daycare she will be going to. Visited Mommy's work to meet everyone at MK.  Gone walking with Auntie Amy and Davis.  We've had a lotta lunch- lunch with Gammy, Aunt La La- other Aunt LaLa, Katie, Kim, Carmen, Sara, Sha, & Helen Grace- that's a lot of lunch!  Mommy is trying to squeeze girl time in before she goes back to work.  We even went all the way to Oxford to have lunch at City Grocery with Aunt Rachel- ROAD TRIP!!  And we turned 10weeks old to boot. We've watched the British Open with Daddy and World Cup Soccer with Mommy- GO USA!  A busy girl indeed

Two Month Checkup

Emily had her two month checkup last week...time is flying by.  UGH!  Dr. Miller says she is doing great. She weighs 10 lbs 13.5 oz and is 22 inches long now.  Her hair is growing too!  She got her shots- Daddy held her hands and mama sat over in the corner and got teary when her baby girl started screaming. Oh my goodness it was horrible- but we survived.  She is awake a lot more these days and is cooing and "talking" to herself and to us. She is playing more now too.  She can follow bright colors now with her eyes. She will follow the sound of your voice too. We don't have to go back again until 4 months...whew!  Mama doesn't like shots any more than Emily does.

what do you mean be still??

after all the shots hoopla- we're all right!

Happy Birthday America!!

Happy Birthday America!  Emily celebrated her first Fourth of July with some great friends. We had a low key long weekend and just enjoyed being a family.  Sean and I took Emily to see her daycare on Tuesday and we met her new teacher Ms Janice.  We are excited to know she will be in loving, capable hands when I have to go back to work in a couple of weeks.

Meeting Gram

Emily finally got to meet her "Gram" this past week.  Sean's mom and brother Brian came for their first visit and I do believe it was worth the wait for all!  We had a really nice visit and I think Emily and Barbara both fell in love.  There were a lot of hugs and cuddles and kisses.  Uncle Brian even joined in on the fun and fed Emily a bottle one night! We were sad to see them go and hope they come back real soon!  We love and miss you already Gram!!!

Meeting Gram- love at first sight

7 weeks

Emily is growing like a weed people!  She weighs 10 pounds and I swear she is about 23 inches long! And yes, she still has all of her hair.  She is wearing some 3 month stuff now but mostly for length...they still swallow her around the middle and up top in her shoulders. Here are a few pics from our photo shoot.

not so sure about this boppy thing Mommy

Still not quite sure about Melvin either

Happy Father's Day

Emily and I wish her Daddy the best first Father's Day Ever!  We LOVE you! And to all of the other Daddies out there- we love you too and honor you today!

I love you Daddy!

Road Trip

So time sure does fly...when there is a newborn in your life. We've been busy with the usual...eating, sleeping and diapering but we took Emily on her first road trip to the beach with my family a couple of weeks ago.  She got to meet her cousins and got lots of attention from the whole family.  She loved listening to the waves and her mommy and daddy enjoyed some beach time. It was so fun to watch the other kids (Walker and Camille) react to meeting and spending time with Emily.  I know my mom and Aunt and Uncle enjoyed watching the three grandchildren be together- it's been a long time coming for there to be 3 grandbabies in the family again! We had a lovely week and although I was ready to be home, I was sad to leave the beach.
