Happy Halloween!!

Here are some pics from Emily's first Halloween. We had a great time at Cristin and Pat's and I wish I got pics of all of the cool costumes!! If anyone has some you'd like me to share just pass them along....Thanks!!

Our little pumpkin! I moved her after this one because I didn't like the garbage cans in the background, but of course she looked the best in this one!!! :)

I like Halloween if it means I get to play with new stuff!!

I love Halloween!!

The gardening family!

Connor the puppy dog.

Puppy in a flower pot!

Mike getting into the Halloween spirit!

Kim, Jesse, & Connor. Connor was more interested in his doggie toy!

Danny the pirate had already changed, but still had a blast playing with Emily. He's such a good big cousin!

Look at those baby feet. You were little like that too Danny!!

Connor coloring before bed. What a big boy!!

35 Weeks old!

Emily is 35 weeks old! Fall is going rather quickly, I can't believe Halloween is almost here already. Emily went to her first Halloween party on Friday and had a blast! She loved watching the big kids and wanted to be a part of everything. She also had a super cute costume if I do say so myself! On Thursday Emily officially became an 8 month old...Eeeeek 2/3 of a year!!! We had some beautiful weather this week, so we got outside again which was really nice.

Emily's little friends saw her bear and got all excited so they brought her every stuffed animal they could find. It was so sweet, and here she is surrounded by them all!!

Happy girl in a bear jacket! I went out with her and people thought she was a boy, so not sure how often we'll be wearing this one...

8 months old

Swinging at the park by Grammie and Pop Pop's house.

Standing in the kitchen with Daddy. She looks like such a big girl here!

Our little flower

The three of us at the Halloween Party. How do we look?

Farmer and his flower.

Just hanging out with my socks in my pockets. Daddy thought that was a good place for them since Emily keeps taking them off her feet!

Having fun in the bath! We moved her to the big tub for the first time. Soooo Big!!

Watching the Jets with Pop Pop.

35 weeks old.

34 Weeks!!!

Emily is 34 weeks old. She is growing and checking everything out! Although this week, she finally started falling asleep in her stroller during walks again! Good thing, since we did a couple of long ones this week. Emily is a really happy baby and seems to be getting over her separation anxiety a bit. She let everyone hold her at Aunt Donna's house today for Nana's birthday celebration and only cried once. (I'm not gonna name names.....) We were hoping to do some pumpkin picking this weekend, but that didn't happen thanks to this lovely weather we have had. It's supposed to warm up this week, so hopefully we'll get some in more outdoors time!! Here are the pics of our adventures this week...

Going shopping! Mommy finally decided Emily was big enough to sit in the cart. She did really well and seemed to enjoy being a "big girl".

We surprised Great Grandma with a birthday visit this week!

Emily finally meets Great Uncle Eddie. They had a blast playing with the water bottle together!

Looking out the window Friday morning. Do you see the white stuff????

Yup, it's really snow! This pic was taken after some had started to melt.

She still likes playing with her keys!

Snuggling with Daddy and chewing on her new cell phone!

Emily had lots of fun playing with Grandpa

Snuggly little bear ready for a car ride!

34 weeks old. Great job Daddy, we didn't even need a distraction this week!!

Happy Birthday this week to Great Grandma Rita and the Nana!
Sorry Nana, I never took my camera out this afternoon. It was a wonderful celebration!

Taking weekly pics

This is what it takes to get her picture. Normally she lunges for that paper at every chance she gets.

Emily is 33 weeks old!

Emily is 33 weeks old today! It's been another week of fun. Emily is "talking" a lot and really moving around as you'll see in some of the pics. She rolls all over the place, pushes herself backwards, and spins. Next step...crawling! Not so sure if I'm ready for that yet as exciting as it is. My baby girl is growing up! We've been taking some video of Emily's adventures and hopefully Mike will get some posted soon. She also started smacking her lips and clicking her tounge. She loves making noise!!! Check out this week...

Emily managed to get herself in this position. Looks soooo comfortable!!

Ahhh...that's better! Now I can see what's going on.

Emily rolled her way over here. She pulled out the doll and book and is going back for more. She knows how to get what she wants!!!

So cute, she made it to the kitchen...almost!

What a nice fall day for a family photo!

Daddy teaching Emily how to play chess. She wanted to move the queen right away, but Daddy said they had to start with a different piece.

Happy girl right out of the bath tub!

Checking out the leaf. Of course she kept trying to put it in her mouth, but each time she tried I told her not to and she listened. She's so smart!!!

So cute sitting in the grass.

Happy Fall!

So, Mommy and Daddy got smart and decided to occupy Emily with a water bottle while taking the weekly pics. I think water bottles are a step ahead of paper, so she left the sign alone. We'll just have to live with a water bottle in the picture now too!

32 weeks old...

Emily is 32 weeks old today. Another week went by already! She just keeps on growing and being our happy girl. We finally seem to have a better nap schedule back...yay! (I know it will probably be changing and gone again tomorrow, but for now I'm happy!!) Emily has been having a lot of fun exploring and moving around the best she can...still no crawling, but she figures out how to get what she wants! She started with some new sounds this week...the favorite as of today is DA DA DA DA DA.....I think Daddy has been practicing with her! Here are the pics of our adventures this week....we are enjoying fall!

Sleepy girl, time for a nap?

Daddy reading bedtime stories

HAHAHA...I got all the pacifiers!!!!!
I still have not decided what we are calling it yet. Binky just seems so weird to me, unless someone can explain the origins of it to me and it makes sense...

Emily loved swinging at the park for the first time. She just jumped right in and enjoyed it. She wasn't afraid one bit!!

Still swinging and being cute.

Fell asleep on the way home after lots of fun at the park. Swinging takes a lot out of a little girl.

Just being cute. I made this one black and white so you can't see the sweet potato on her nose!

Mommy's doing something exciting!

It got chilly this week. Mommy put these crazy slippers and my poncho on me to help keep me warm. Whatever...I'll just play and these slippers will be off in no time!

No, we didn't put her there...she just wiggled, rolled, and squirmed her way over. What a big girl!

In case you can't read it. Emily is 32 weeks old today. She LOVES paper and we can't keep that sign away from her. She is getting too smart for our tricks!

I know, let's give her another piece of paper to hold, maybe that will work. This is the best we got! (And it didn't keep her attention for long...she wants that sign!)
