Emmeline post nap

I snapped this picture right after her morning nap. She was still sleepy and dreamy eyed with sweaty curls.

4th of July

Emmeline's first 4th of July was a great one!
We got all dressed up for the 4th and then headed to the farmer's market for some groceries - we were the only goof ball family with coordinating 4th of July outfits on.

Emmeline surrounded by her sweet boy cousins. They were so cute with her - giving her tons of kisses and hugs. I just hope she'll be able to keep up with them when she gets a little older. They are busy boys!! Plus - we have one more littte guy on the way thanks to Aunt Katie!!!

We had the pool completely to ourselves - it was great! Don't worry, there was an adult in the Pool with Penn, he wasn't all alone.
We spent wonderful 4th of July with Craig's family. We're so lucky to have cousins that live in the area. Wow - I look pregnant in this picture - I really need to get my butt in gear and get walking!

Thank you Grammy and Papa!!!

Thank you Grammy and Papa for all your help this past week. I was able to get so much work done and we also had such a nice time visiting with you. I know Emmeline loved every minute she had with her Grammy and Papa. Thank you also for all the hard work you guys did on and around the house. We really appreciate all your help. We all miss you so much already and can't wait to see you again in August. Love you guys!!

Craig's parents came to visit this past week to celebrate 4th of July and to help me with Emmeline. My last day of work will be July 31st so I need all the time I can get finishing up with work to pass on to another monitor.

9 months!

Emmeline is now 9 months and a couple weeks. Wow - time is seriously flying now! She is now clapping, waving, and dancing (bounces) to music. The dancing is so cute - I hope she continues to love music. At her well-visit this week she weighed 16 lbs 14 ozs. and 28 inches long. Staying at 25% for weight and 75% for height. Emmeline's personality is really starting to show. She definitely knows what she wants and what she doesn't and will let you know it. Most of she is so sweet and still smiles all the time.

Emmeline and Oliver take a bath

Stacey and I will be sure to pull this out after they have announced their engagement years from now. Last weekend we decided they could just take their nightly bath together - we snapped this one while the tub was filling up - we couldn't resist.

8 Months (a couple weeks ago)

Little miss Emmeline turned 8 months a couple weeks ago and good old lazy me is just getting around to posting the pictures. I'm sad that we don't have a well-visit with the doctor this month- I'm dying to know what she weighs. We'll know at 9 months but I wish I knew now. She seems taller to me and still super small. She's still wearing some 3-6 month clothing at this point. Her personality is really coming through and it's so much fun. Although - she is kind of day dreaming in the picture above.

Posting Hiatus

Sorry for the little posting hiatus. Work got super busy and then all of a sudden all three of us are fighting a cold. It's been a rough couple of days and nights but she seems to be asleep for the night now so I'll try and get some pictures up while it lasts.
