Prissy Little Sleeper

Our sweet baby

I did not pose her like this. She is just that cute.

The many faces of Emerson

Baby Blues

Why are you taking my picture again?!?

How am I sitting up? 

Scared face when her Leaping Lily starts singing. You think it would entertain her but she doesn't trust a singing frog.

Happy girl face

If you can't tell I've got a problem with taking an obscene amount of pictures of this kid.

Peaceful baby

This is what happens when I entertain and take pics at the same time.

With her bunny before lunch with her Dad

I never thought I would see the day where Emerson would be content or even tolerable of her bouncer and carseat. Don't get me wrong she is a very laid back baby and super easy but she screamed liked crazy in any baby contraption. I love holding her but every once in awhile I need to use the bathroom, shower, or even eat! In the past week Emerson has been content to chill in her bouncer as long as I'm close by. Allowing me to be much cleaner. :) She even will stay in her carseat for a little bit with the help of a paci. She finally started to think they are the greatest things ever. I felt guilty about using them for awhile but she really only needs them in the car or when she gets passed around a lot. We don't have to use them in the house though so its nice not to be dependent on them. She has even taken a nap in her crib twice. Although she did wake up completely lost and seemingly a little hurt I left her there. But oh how our little one has grown up. 

Duke Gardens

We headed to Duke Gardens on Saturday (the same place we took my maternity shots). We wanted to get some candid shots of Emerson in the flowers but she decided sleep was more important. We got some good pics and Emerson gave us her best. But we probably looked why we were torturing her to other people. (See flower shot).  Check out some of the beautiful flowers. I can't believe I've lived here for 4 years and I'm just now getting there in the springtime!?! 

All smiles if you can catch them!

Emerson has been a happy girl. She is now beginning to smile more and more. Even better she cracks herself up. Yesterday I put her in the swing (which is usually a disaster) and she looked up at the mirror on the mobile and started smiling at herself.  Apparently she thinks she is cute too. It's been tough to catch these smiles while also being the photographer. Here is our photo shoot of the day. You can see she has definitely plumped up. On a side note I went to Wal-Mart today to get gardening supplies. There was the sweetest old man working there and he had me pull up and put my massive bags of soil in my car. Made my day. 

Sassy Leg Warmers

I'm not going to smile!

Well maybe a shy smile.

Easter

Emerson had her first road trip this weekend and did great! She slept the whole trip to Conover. We didn't have to stop one time. Here are a few pictures from Easter Sunday. Emerson was precious in her little dress and bonnet.
