More OBX

Here are a few more pics from our Outer Banks Vacation.

Uncle Eddie looking responsible. He can comfort a baby! This was Emily's first visit to the Black Pelican, the first place we go every year when we arrive.

Happy Birthday Eddie!!

Swimming with Mommy. I figured I needed to get a few pictures of myself on here, so you actually believe I spend time with Emily also!

Mom and Dad

Ed and Carrie

What a cute couple! Sorry Becky, it seems Mike and Ben were the couple this night. I don't have pics of us with the boys!

Emily just chillin' in her tube. She definitely loves the water.

Happy Birthday Carrie!

Mommy and Emily shortly before we packed up to head to Myrtle Beach!

Emily's First OBX Vacation

Here are a few pictures from our vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It was a great week and Emily had a blast! She's still not too sure about the ocean, but she doesn't mind the sand and the pool is tons of fun! The first few pictures are of Emily's first journey to the ocean.

Walking toward the ocean with Daddy. So far so good!

Ok, this isn't so bad.

What just happened? Where did that water come from?

I don't like it that's for sure!! How did it get here?? Get me out of here!!!!!

Thanks Dad. As long as I'm safe in your arms I'm a happy girl!

Staying hydrated on the beach.

Emily's ready for happy hour. Pop Pop, what's the drink of the day?

Swimming in the pool is lots of fun!

Family photo on the beach. Emily is the only one looking at the camera! We are all pretty happy though. Eddie got the good shots on his camera. I can't wait to see them!

Family on the beach.

I have lots more pics from vacation and hopefully I'll get around to putting up some more, but I didn't want to keep my faithful followers waiting for too long!!!

Emily is 26 weeks old!

Here is Emily's 26 week picture. Other pics from this week are included in vacation posts. Emily has pretty much perfected sitting, she sometimes falls over eventually, but can sit and play for a long time. She is also using the universal "pick me up" sign on a regular basis now too, she's done it before but now it's used a lot! You know the one; when kids reach their arms in the air when they want to be picked up. I didn't realize stuff like that started so soon. Oh yeah, and the biggest part of week 26, was that it included her SIX MONTH birthday! It's been half a year since my little baby was born. It is going way too fast, but I'm loving every minute of it!

25 weeks old!

Emily is 25 weeks old! We spent this week getting ready for vacation. Since I already posted some pics and others are in the vacation post, I only have one pic for you. That doesn't mean Week 25 was any less important or exciting. Emily did pretty well on the drive down to OBX and really started perfecting her sitting toward the end of the week. Here she is all ready for the pool and 25 weeks old!

Laughing video

I know I don't post enough videos, so here's one to check out while we are away.

25 weeks...almost!

We are headed off to vacation tomorrow morning and since I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again, here are a few pics to tide you over until we get back! It's been a great week so far. We've been trying some new foods and getting much better at sitting. Sometimes Emily can sit on her own for a whole minute!! I know its just going to keep progressing from there. She looks so cute when she sits too as you can see in the pics. We are looking forward to a nice beach vacation and hopefully Emily enjoys it, and doesn't hate the car ride too much. Here's the pics of the short week...

Sitting on the couch like a big girl. So cute!

We went to a farm and saw some animals and watched the big kids pick some peaches and raspberries. It was fun!

Mmmm...Sweet Potatoes! Did any make it in the mouth?!? At least she enjoyed them more than the green beans!

There she is sitting again!

Oh, and don't worry, the sign and bear are coming with us on vacation so there will still be weekly pics! I just might not get around to posting them until we get back.

24 weeks old!

Emily is 24 weeks old today! We had some fun trying new foods this week. Emily loves oatmeal, but green beans leave something to be desired it seems. We'll keep trying though! Emily is starting to get a little better at sitting up with some support, but isn't quite ready to do it on her own for more than a few seconds. She's still growing and changing all the time and we are looking forward to taking her on vacation next week!

Still doing her crunches. She's got better ab muscles than Mommy that's for sure!

I'll sit up when I know I have the couch to lean back on. See the drool too?

Sweet as can bee!

Green Beans? I don't think so Mommy!

Check out all of this fun stuff. I like this new toy!

I really like it! I get to be up and playing at the same time!!!

We went to the beach with Liz and Supurna on Saturday. Emily was just chillin'.

We both have blue stripes!

Daddy's trying to figure out the best way to pack for vacation. How about putting Emily in the bag?

24 Weeks old! Have you noticed the last two weeks I've had to put the sign further away from Emily, since she seems to love paper and grab at it every chance she gets!
