Playing Catch Up

Here are a few pictures from this week! Enjoy!

I Love Mommy's Hair

Emerson's new thing is to hold my hair as she is going to sleep. It is sweet but it hurts a little! The other night I replaced my hair with one of her soft little blackets. She looked so sweet!

Birth Announcement

I thought I would share Emerson's birth announcement. The other 2 photos are just ones I love in black and white!

We also want to say CONGRATS to the Lozada's. They had a baby girl today!! Happy Birthday Reese Elizabeth!!

Pictures from Wye Mountian

Our little family picture!

Mommy and Emmie

Daddy and Emmie

Emmie and Riley!! Look at Riley's cute smile!!

Emmie finally smiled for a picture!!!

Look at these precious girls!!

This picture cracks me up...Emmie is trying to suck on Riley and it looks like Riley is trying to tell Emmie to "talk to the hand"

We made it Wye Mountain and took some great pics with our new camera!! It was so beautiful there! We will try to make it to the festival every year! As we were leaving we saw Melanie, Jason and Riley Carlton. We decided to take some pics of the girls. Aren't they cute!!!

We must have worn Emmie out by being out there so long. When we got home she cried for about an hour and then fell asleep. She laid on my stomach like a little rag doll, she was out!! She or maybe I should say that I hit another milestone. Miss Emerson slept all night in her crib!!! She has been sleeping in her pack and play next to our bed but she can be a noisy sleeper. I am so proud of all of us!! She is getting to be so big!! It is scary how fast they grow!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Emerson's Aunt Ashley bought her this cute onesie to wear today!! It says "kiss me i'm irish" We are going to try to make it to Wye Mountain to take some pictures of Emmie with our new camera. That is if we can figure out how to use the thing! If we get some pics I will post them later!

First Big Girl Bath

Here is our sweetie getting a bath! We have been giving her a sponge bath but last night we gave Emmie her first big girl bath in her tub!! She was ok with it at first but then she got REALLY mad. I don't know if she got cold or not but we had to hurry up and put her lotion on and then get her dressed. After that she was back to our happy girl! And look at that little pot belly!! How cute is it!! This girl likes her formula...she was weighed the other day and she weighed 10lbs 3 oz!!! Girl is a growing!!

The Cutest Little Razorback Fan!

Emerson was cheering on the Hogs on Saturday!! It seemed to work becuase they won! Maybe she should have worn her outfit again yesterday because the Hogs weren't so lucky!

Meeting Great Grandma

We went to Stuttgart on Saturday for my nieces b-day. Happy Birthday Mica!! While we were there Emmie got to meet her Great Grandma!! My Grandma is 96 years old and Emerson is her 12th great grandchild!! It was so good to get to see them together. My Grandma had a stroke about 6 years ago and it made me so happy to see her and Emmie together!

1 Month Old

My pretty girl!

A little cross eyed here!

What a CUTIE!!

Playing Time!

Look at this big girl holding her head up!!

Playing Again!

Well, here we go playing dress up again! I am getting so much better putting things over her head. She still hates it though! I can't believe how big she is getting! She is so sweet and we are having so much fun with her!

We think the formula we have been giving her is hurting her belly so we switched formulas today. We hope it helps!! She was kind of cranky yesterday. She has been grunting and will tighten her stomach like she needs to poop but then there is nothing. It broke our hearts last night. So, the gas drops have been our friend! So far she seems to be feeling better. Please keep her in your prayers! I hate to see my precious baby hurting.

Emmie and Daddy

I thought this was the sweetest picture!! Both of my sweethearts asleep!!

She is 3 Weeks Old!!!

This is Emmie's favorite little toy! It plays a song and lights up. She loves looking at it while we change her diaper! It amazes me how alert she is! She is so sweet!

She also enjoys playing in the swing! She will watch the fish as they turn in a circle! I love the swing because it alows me to try to get some stuff done around the house!!

So, yesterday and today Emerson and I ventured out! We went to the Rhea Lana sale yesterday. I started getting us ready around 10:30am and we finally left around 3pm! It took me that long to get the diaper bag ready, clean bottles, feed and change Emmie a couple of times, answer the phone, figure out the car seat, feed myself, etc!! It was good to get out! I didn't get anything. I was mainly looking for bows but they didn't have the ones I was looking for.

We are so excited because yesterday Emmie was excepted into study for babies that are formula fed! I will get more details as it gets closer to her first appointment but we are suppose to get compensated with formula for our time!! Which is GREAT because formula is EXPENSIVE!!!

Well, today we went to Duck Duck Goose. It didn't take us so long to get ready this time. We started getting ready around 9am and left the house around 11:15am. We met up with Emmie's Aunt Jo Jo! We had a good time looking for Emmie's cousins some clothes. Then we met up with Ashley, Jennifer and Emmie's new friend Mary Claire! I ended up buying some clothes, yes more clothes that Emerson probably doesn't need but they are soooo cute!! I also found her the bows that go on the little headband!! She is modeling one of the bows in the last pic. I have been looking for the little headband so I am so excited that I found it there! I ended up buying 7 bows to go along with the headband!!

Playing Dress Up

Well, we decided to play dress up today! Isn't she the cutest!!!

2 Weeks Old!!

Here is our little sweetie! She is doing so good! She is sleeping at least for 4 hours at night! Which means we are only having to get up twice in the middle of the night! She is trying to hold her head up! She is drinking about 3 ounces every feed! She has grown out of her preemie diapers! She loves her swing! She is such a good baby! God answered our prayers! We are very blessed!
