Beautiful Fall Day

Today was a beautiful day in the mid 50's. So we decided to spend some time outside raking leaves, even though our helpers are coming in Tuesday. My Dad, Step mom and Lil' Bro usually help with this chore but we got a head start. Here is Emmi checking out the piles for us.

Emmi is fighting a little cold. Thursday night was not a good one for her as she was up multiple times which changed our plans of going to Altanta this weekend. Just Jacob went since he had a mtn bike meeting he had to attend. But Emmi seems to be on the up and up since that one night. We also found a new tooth on the bottom.

One down many more to go

That is right she is no longer a baby but a toddler as of today. We went to the doctor and she weighed in at 21 lbs 6 ounces. She is 30 inches tall. The doctor was impressed with her confidence as she rearranged the furniture in the doctors office while she was bored listening to him. hehehehe

Tid bits of information of Emmi's life so far. She has never had formula, she never had baby food from a jar, she primarily eats table foods now, she has 6 teeth, she can say words like Mama, Bubba, Dadda, Bica bak, and other random babblings, she pulls herself up on everything, walks when holding her hands or behind push toys, she just lights up when Kona comes into the room, still naps 2 times a day, climbs whatever she can, still no vaccines, had only one fever, I think 3 colds, and is just the love of our life.

Happy Birthday Munchkin!!!!

It's my party.....

That is right, we had Emmi's party this weekend with a spaghetti feed and carrot cake. There were about 30 people who came to celebrate. Here are some pics we got and also a little video.

Of course she had to end the party right. :^)

Deep In the Heart of TX....

That is where Emmi and I were on Saturday & Sunday this weekend for Cousin Amanda's wedding reception. She got married on 10/14 in Hawaii but had a reception at Joe T's in Ft Worth for those of us who couldnt make it to the wedding.

I was worried about our flights since you just never know. To get there Emmi was falling asleep before we left the ground and slept for a good 45 minutes. She then was great the rest of the flight playing with magazines and random stuff. Of course it was crazy busy once we got there. Emmi played with her second cousins and fit in great as they are in ages of, 1.5 (Jamison), 2(Preston), 3(Noah), and 4(Tristan). Plus all my cousins were around so the extra eyes was so nice.

I only brought my point and shoot camera so my pics arent that great. But here is one of my Cousins Amy, Amanda and Tristan(Matt's Daughter) with Matt waving.



Here is Emmi eating her fajita chicken, and rice.

Here she is with Grandpa. She did great considering we didnt get there until 7:00 their time which is 8:00 our time when her bed time is typically 7:30ish.


The flight home was good. It is always interesting when you are trying to nurse your baby as you take off sitting in the middle seat. Emmi didnt nap until we were decending. So needless to say the flight was busy for us. :^)

While we were away the Daddy kept busy by riding his bike in the mtns, painting the hallway so that is almost done, and doing trailwork.

Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

She's a rocking

While I was in the office I could hear Emmi talking and just being loud having a good time. When I walked in to her room this is what I found her doing.

Bathtime fun

What a cute little face.

Here are a couple pics we took of Emmi last night in the tub. I have taken 3 different classes on how to use my camera and yesterdays was lighting so had to play with the flash last night. :^)

Halloween

Well Trick or Treating was very eventful as we hit 3 houses. :^) She got a balloon and I got candy at one house. We took pics after we got home so Emmi was done so the pics arent that great. But here she is in the pumpkin costume that I made.

This is what she did last night with the costume. Guess it makes a good pillow to watch TV on.
