Emmeline's Favorite Toy

This little toy is never far from Emmeline - it was the first toy she really learned to grasp and of course it goes right to her mouth. 
Thanks Michelle and Kevin for such a great toy!! I'm sure it will stay her favorite for a long time to come. 

Oh how I love to see her smile

Emmeline is smiling all the time now and I just love it. When I leave the room for a second and come back in she gets all excited to see me and smiles so big - it's the sweetest thing. 

Cupie Doll Curl

Ignore the hair color and I think we may have long lost twins here. When Emmeline's hair is wet - it's super curly and every once in awhile a curl sticks around for a day or two right on the top of her head. I just love it! 

the two of us

I realized that we don't have a ton of pictures of the two of us - since i'm usually the person behind the camera. So...i've decided to take pictures of us at least once a week with the self timer.  

Getting so big

Emmeline is getting so big. I think she's about 12 pounds now and is really starting to get pudgy arms and legs. Plus - her cheeks are just so cute - people keep asking me is she's storing food in them. 

Emmeline's New Trick

Miss Emmeline has a new trick - she straightens her back as stiff as possible and tries to slide out of her bouncy seat. It's quite hilarious to watch but makes me nervous for what's to come. I guess I will need to start using the straps in that seat until she can get herself safely in and out on her own.  

Emmeline's Baptism

The Saturday after Christmas Emmeline was baptized in Erie. We had a lovely little ceremony with our families and then all ate dinner at my dad's house. Thanks dad!

Thank you to my sister, Lyn, and Craig's sister, Alissa, for being wonderful godparents. Emmeline is lucky to have such amazing aunts that love her so much.
