A little Blessing...

On March 28, 2009 I found I was pregnant. I never would have imagined that exactly one year later, on March 28, 2010, our sweet little Emery would receive her baby blessing. Levi did really well while Emery kept herself busy blowing lots of bubbles. She has brought such a wonderful spirit to our home. She is almost 4 months and growing up way to fast. We are so so lucky to have her. Em loves to get her picture taken. She poses so nicely.

Here is Emery showing off her pretty Blessing dress and her strong legs.

Its not until i see all three of us together, sitting where so many families have had their picture taken before, do i realize we are one of them. An actual family. I'm a Mom...Levi's a Dad...and we are not just babysitting!! Emery is ours to keep!

pu.pu.pu.pu.pu.POKERFACE!

Emery thinks a lot of things are funny these days...but one word in particular really gets her going. I had started saying "Bu Bu Bu Bu" and a big grin and little snort followed. I got excited and after awhile i started trying other letters. "Pu Pu Pu Pu" is her favorite. While as you can see...my "Pu Pu Pu" somehow managed to end with me yelling "POKER FACE"! She thinks I'm pretty funny. (I'm glad someone does!!) I've never seen her laugh this hard before. Enjoy.

p.s. sorry about the video being jiggly bo-biggly. I was laughing pretty hard too...

where does time go?

Emery is growing up so fast. Each day gets better and better. Lately she has seemed more like a little girl than a baby( if that makes sense)She has developed such a sweet personality and great sense of humor. Levi and I love being parents.

I love waking up to the sound of Emery babbling to herself in her crib. At night when i get her ready for bed i swaddle her snugly and somehow she weasels her way out by morning. When i peak over the side of the crib this is what i so often find, our little em, playing in her blankets. I don't know how she manages to get the blankets all up by her head. ha ha too funny. This is another thing that reminds me that our little girl is growing so fast.

This is Emery at 3 months. She has been working so hard to roll over, getting closer and closer every day. Sometimes she gets her legs kicking so fast she starts panting for breath though her little grins. Oh she is so much fun.

Em's first walk

I have never been so excited for spring than i am for this year. With Levi busy at work and school, Emery and I take every chance we can get to get out of the house. We are so lucky to live in such a great area with so many places to go for walks. Emery loved looking up at the sky and trees over head as we went for her first walk in the Nicholas Sharan park. I sat down on a bench to take a rest but parked the stroller under a tree so emery could look at the branches through her peep hole. I got a few odd looks from some passing runners. Emery and I didn't mind.

Being Bundled up so cozy put Emery right to sleep after awhile. I hope it gets nicer outside so i don't have to bundle her up so much, then she can stay awake to enjoy the walk longer. I picked quite the nippy day to go for a walk.

I love finding opportunities to Dress Emery in her cute little jackets and fun shoes. I need to get her out of the house more often so that she can wear all her clothes before she grows out of them!
