Love the days like these

EmmaLyn is so full of smiles today! Days like these just melt my heart!

Toenails and BIG CHEESEYS!

We went to the valley this weekend and it was Beautiful! I painted EmmaLyn's toenails before we went so she could wear her cute little sandals and she would just peak over the edge of the high chair to watch! She loves having her toes painted and she just stares at them when I'm all finished! On Friday night we went to cheesecake factory after the mall kicked us out and EmmaLyn has started giving "Big cheeseys!" She has been doing this a lot lately and I LOVE IT! She looks at me, tilts her head back a little bit, raises her eyebrows, and gives me the cheesiest smile she can muster! It is so funny and she had us cracking up the whole time! I caught a picture of one, but whenever the camera comes out she doesn't do it as good! All in all it was a QUICK but super fun weekend!

Fun in the Sun

This past weekend we went down to the Valley for my cousin Tylers homecoming. Scott and I bought appliances on Friday night for our NEW HOUSE, then Saturday we went to the zoo with Jaron and Bethany, Mom and Dad, Lacie, and my friend Amy came too! It was so nice to be outside in such beautiful weather! On Sunday after Tylers talk we headed over to my Aunt and Uncles and had lunch, ate outside, visited while EmmaLyn strolled around in the grass, and I took some pictures of her. EmmaLyn has such a STRONG personality! In other words she is stubborn! She knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it be prepared for a huge tantrum. I didn't know 8 month olds even knew how to throw a tantrum like that. I'm talking crying, then screaming, throwing herself on the ground and there are no signs of stopping once she has started! I love how much she is growing and learning. She can clap, crawl, sit up, smile when the camera is put in front of her, show off in a crowd full of people, laugh, she talks a lot and on rare occasions she will say momma, eats anything and everything off the ground, she loves graham crackers, applesauce, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, and anything else she can get a taste of EXCEPT formula! Like I said she is stubborn and does not want formula or anything to do with a bottle! She still doesn't have any teeth but she sure can gum things and I am nervous the entire time. She likes munching on strawberries, bananas, pizza crust (thanks to her dad!) cucumbers, carrots and anything else we give her! She is so much fun and I love that we can teach her things such as patty cake and high fives and she knows just what to do! She is about 13 lb and 27 in long. No doubt she is going to be tall and skinny! She wears 0-3 month clothes and most the pants are still to big in the waist. She eats all the time though so I know she's healthy! We love having her in our lives and I can't imagine doing anything else but playing and cuddling with my little baby EmmaLyn!

EmmaLyn turns 6 months, Scotts Bday, Painted toes, and cute boots!

EmmaLyn turned 6 months on January 13 and got her very first ear infection along with it. These were the only pictures I could get of her half happy that day!

Scott turned 26 on January 17! We had a little party for Scott with our families and our good friend Amy was also there visiting us from the valley. We got him his very own set of golf clubs so we can go more often and he won't have to use my dads anymore! I made him a homemade ice cream oreo cake and it was SO yummy! I want it EVERYDAY! They don't make boxes of candles with 26 in them so we tried making an S. Turned out kinda bad but all in all it was a fun night! 

 Yes. I painted my 6 month old toes! And I just cannot get enough of the cuteness!! I love them!

I just love her itty bitty bum and her cute boots!

 

Having EmmaLyn has sure taught me patience and also to appreciate the small things in life! She is such a blessing in our lives! We love having her around and I love the she is learning new things everyday! It is so fun to be able to play with her and she loves my singing despite how terrible I truly sound!!! I just love being a mom and a wife and I wouldn't have my life any other way!

Christmas 2010

Christmas was so fun this year!! We had the whole family together at my parents house and they all stayed a week! We stayed up late every night playing games and just having fun! It was sad to have them all go home. We are so blessed to have such an awesome family full of fun and love!! EmmaLyn of course got spoiled and my husband sure spoiled me! I got a BOB jogging stroller and a new camera! Looks like I'm going to have to pick up running again when the snow melts....not sure how I feel about that. :) I will also be taking a lot more pictures and I will try and keep up on my blogging this year but no promises. My parents also got Scott and I a flip video camera which I am so excited about seeing as EmmaLyn is growing fast and learning new things everyday! EmmaLyn fell asleep after opening one present and I got my camera right after she fell asleep so thats where the pictures will start. During the week that my brothers were here we went bowling, played in the snow, and played a lot of games! It was a lot of fun!
