2 teeth and lots of smiles

How is she already 7 months? It is so cliche to claim that "time is flying by," but in reality it truely is! Emily is currently working on two teeth (ouch for her & me). Her favorite things are paper (especially magzines, ads and anything that comes in the mail), my water bottle, her singing book and me. She's got quite a reporatiore of foods now: green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, avacodo, bananas, pumpkin and applesauce. However, her sleeping habits have taken quite a hit. We have only seen a 10-11 hour quiet sleep twice in the last 3 weeks; most nights she is restless from 1am-5am making both Paul and I zombies. She makes up for those sleepless nights with lots of cuddles, laughs and silly faces. I honestly can't remember life before her.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! It was great at our house.

Evening walk time!

In her first 'fall weather' outfit; ready for a walk! She needs something for her head as the hood is useless in the stroller. Her noggin has outgrown any hat we currently own. Must find one soon!

Friday Funny

"The queen declares this photo session be finished immediately!"
(yes I did this in Paint and it sucks, but it made me giggle)

Go Pack!

Although we've got a lot of pink in our house, red still reigns!



(shirt reads, "Wolfpack baby, best in the world")

Wordless Wednesday

11 weeks

In lieu of an update, here's a few pictures of Emily.

She enjoys watching the Tour de France


She's doing really well with holding her head up


Her eyelashes are so lush (and her head, well, so bald)


She's learning to hold toys


And she finds my photo taking sessions quite boring

Smile for Friday

When she's happy, she's really happy...

Happy 6th Anniversary to us!

With my mom in town, we headed out to dinner to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. We have so much to celebrate this year :)

Four weeks (and a smile!)

Emily has been amazing us with new skills, talents, sounds and smiles daily! It's amazing what a difference a week makes. She's a fiery little girl - never missing a meal or sitting in a wet diaper for more than a few moments without strong objections. As usual I don't have much time to update, but I wanted to take a moment to share her precious smile. I think I even witnessed a few giggles this morning. The absolute joys of being a new/first time parent - it's so rewarding!


Ok, so it may look like a mid-yawn, but it was a really BIG smile!

3 weeks!

In honor of Emily's 3 week birthday, here's a slide show of her many faces:

More to come!

Spring!

Spring is here! I know because my nose has been my nemesis the last 2 weeks with all the pollen floating around. Also, things are blooming! And Paul has had to mow twice. It's great to see some color return to the great outdoors.

The rosemary has bloomed once again and its tiny blue-purple blooms amaze me.


Our Eastern Red Bud tree has also bloomed and its heart shaped leaves are really beginning to take shape.


The weather is just too gorgeous for me to be inside. I'm off to do something... most likely nap. :)

[Sigh] No wordless Wednesday this week

I've put off taking pictures of the nursery (mostly because it isn't done) and pictures of my growing belly (I feel like I look like a whale now) and the "Noah-times like rain" kept me from taking any pictures of spring evidence outside (spring is in full force). So, in effect, no pictures for wordless Wednesday. Why am I even posting about this? I have no idea. I mean really, I've only done "Wordless Wednesday" like 5 times. Most likely it's because I am completely swamped with work and I am doing everything in my power to avoid it. My motivation is completely lacking for anything work related these days. I keep looking at the calendar in awe as I've only got a few weeks left before Baby T makes her appearance. AHHHHH. I am sure that I'm going to be late though. More time to put off what needs to be done! Awesome.
