Random Easter Pics

She went right for the Reece's Cup  - my kind of girl. 

These are just some random easter pics of our little Easter Bunny.  

Family Pictures from the wedding

Here are some family pictures from the wedding. 

My Mom's Wedding

Here are some shots I took of my mom's wedding. They had a beautiful little ceremony on their back porch and then a reception at their country club. 
I dragged them to a couple spots around the club for some wedding portraits. 
It was such a beautiful day and I am so happy that they found each other. I love you mom and Roger! 

Food

Last week we started Emmeline on Rice Cereal. She mostly just wanted to play with the spoon but she eventually got the hang of it and did a pretty good job.
At first we made the cereal super runny just so she would get used to the taste - but I've gradually made it thicker and she now has some cereal every morning for breakfast.
This week we started giving her sweet potatoes. I baked the potatoes and then blended them with some breast milk and she seemed to really like them. Well - she didn't love them, but she ate about a tablespoon worth so we were pleased. 
Of course she made a huge mess - I think I might have a picture that looks a lot like this one. I'll have to dig it out. 
In the end all she really wanted to eat was her bib. 

Cherry Blossoms with Grandpa and Dori

We headed down to the Tidal Basin this weekend with my dad and Dori to check out the Cherry Blossoms. They were so beautiful - I had forgotten just how amazing they are when they all bloom and hang over the water, 
Thanks Dad and Dori for visiting and for such a great weekend. We miss you guys already!!! 
It was windy day when we were down there and the blossoms kept falling all around us - it was almost like it was snowing - but it was warm and sunny.

Visit to the White House and Monuments

Emmeline had big smiles for the new President. 
The busy day was just too much for her and finally she fell asleep right before I made her run up the steps to the Lincoln Monument. 

6 Months!!!

Emmeline turned 6 months today. Wow - that flew by and I seriously can't believe that we have a 6 month old. 
She had her dr. check up yesterday and all is going great. She is 75% for height and about 25th for weight. We started rice cereal so be prepared for pictures of a messy face. 
She is now pretty much sitting up on her own. Well, she tips over when she reaches for something but hey - it's a start at least. 
Emmeline's biggest news: two tiny little teeth that surfaced in the past month. You can see them every time she smiles. They're so cute but make me feel like she is growing up way too fast.
