Emily is 29 Weeks Old!

And another week passes...Emily is still growing each and every day. She is loving solid food and even tried some cheerios this week. It's really cute to watch her try to pick them up and get them into her mouth. She is very persistent and eventually gets a few in there. She does a great job gumming them down to nothing too! This week is also Emily's first week of football. The Jets even won for their newest little fan!!

Always reaching...

Playing with the blocks Grandma made for her. Is she asking for something Daddy?

I just love her eyes in this pic.

What is it with babies and laundry baskets? I saw the basket sitting there and just couldn't resist sticking her in it. She didn't mind one bit!!!

All ready for game day, Jets cleats and all!

29 weeks old (and yes, she has Jets socks too!)

Emily is 28 Weeks Old

Well, another week has passed already and summer is coming to an end. I can't believe we are headed into fall already! Fall is the only season Emily hasn't seen yet. I definitely felt very blessed this week, when I didn't have to go begin another school year and instead got to stay home with Emily. It took a little while to get used to the idea, but I will definitely be just fine! Emily's new favorite thing to do is to yell MAMAMAMAMAMA....do you think she knows what she's saying? It sometimes seems like it. We had some fun this week, check it out...

Happy girl playing

Emily loves bathtime!

Mommy's little helper. Emily snagged the spatula right out of the bowl. She has a new favorite toy!

We went to the quarry for Steven's 50th birthday party. Pop Pop is trying to introduce Emily to Dilly Bars. He should have know she would dive right in!

Our little princess

Having fun at Uncle Sean's

Sean gives being a homeowner two thumbs up!

Cheers! First beer at the new place. I am sure there are many more to come!!! Congrats Sean!

Emily is making it very difficult to get a good picture. Perhaps we should make the sign out of something other than paper! These are the best we got.

Happy 28 weeks!

Emily is 27 Weeks Old!

Emily is 27 weeks old today! I feel like I've been on here a lot lately and don't really have much more to say. Emily is growing, becoming more aware, and doesn't want to miss a thing that is going on around her! She is definitely a party girl! Here are some pics from this week.

Playing with her cookie jar. She has a ball with this toy. Check out how well she's sitting up too!

Our advanced little reader.

Connor the tourist. All ready for the bbq.

We went fruit and veggie picking with Cristin, Pat, and Connor today. Here is Connor walking at his own pace carrying his sticks. So cute!

Emily is very interested in the peach.

Connor is trying to give his rock to the horse.

That's better Connor, the animals like carrots.

I got there a bit too late to get a cute pic of Connor sitting with Mom.

Emily and I having fun at the farm.

27 weeks old. It's getting harder and harder to get that sign in the picture. Emily is obsessed with paper! We figured out how to distract her with another piece of paper for a moment though.

Myrtle Beach

Here are a few pictures from our time at Myrtle Beach. Emily had a lot of fun with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Erin. And of course her parents too!! Aunt Erin even got Emily to get her feet by the ocean without crying, woohoo!

Sitting with Aunt Erin on the beach.

Hanging out with Daddy and Aunt Erin in her beach tent.

Having some fun with Aunt Erin!

The bonus to waking up early with a baby, views like this one!

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!!!
