Help, please

I'm thinking of opening an etsy shop. Not that I have anything to sell at the moment but I want to buy something. I might end up selling things later so my user name would be my shop name. That means it needs to be good. I want something quirky, fun, and different. So feel free to post your ideas in the comments and they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just call her Roo


I couldn't resist adding these. She looked too cute. I usually carry Emerson in a carry hold in the sling but decided to try an upright position since she can hold her head up pretty well. She loved it. We took the dog out and she was amazed by the trees and sunshine. It was pretty comfy too.

Growing like a Weed

To show Little Emerson's change in size I thought I would do a comparison. These pics were taken when she was about 2 weeks old I believe.
These were taken today at almost 3 months with the same attire. The little hat barely fits on her head. The pants are about just right now. A few months ago they were rolled up and still raised up to her armpits. 
Just think in a little while she might look like this. Scary?!? Who is that kid anyways? ;)

Momnesia

I was reading a fun post on a blog I sometimes follow and it's hilarious. Maybe some of you Mom's can relate to forgetting the discomfort of childbirth. For some reason I can't really even remember the pain level anymore except for the pushing stage. How did that happen? 24 hours of labor, (21 of which were drug-free), not that the epidural did a whole lot since the pain I remember was at the end. Haha. Even after all that I still absolutely want an all-natural birth for baby dos. So yep I have momnesia where memories of labor are all cheery. But, I suppose that is a gift so we can all go on to get pregnant again without hesitation.  An adorable baby at home doesn't hurt either. Although I in no way have baby fever and do not plan on it for a good while. If you care to read the bit on Momnesia go here.

Our Weekend



I made little Miss Emerson a dress but it happened to be a tad too short and now it's a stylish tunic. As you can see by the pictures I think she really likes it. I must say she looks very pretty in orange and it made for the perfect outfit to her first concert. Bethany Dillon was awesome. It wasn't too weird to bring a baby along. The concert was very intimate and only had two guitars. Emerson slept through the whole thing so I guess it was the perfect lullaby. If you want to see the rest of the pictures from our weekend go here. Blogspot uploading is far too slow and I have no patience to upload 3o pictures.

We're off for now.

All three of us our making our way to the Conover area for two days. Little Emerson, Aunt Reba, and my self are heading to the Bethany Dillon concert. Mark will be hanging around. :) Perhaps we will have some fun pics to add Sunday.

Eye Color Predictor

For some reason I've been obsessed with what the color of Emerson's eyes will be.  Since I have forgotten basically everything from AP Biology I turned to my friend google. You can go here to find out your future child's eye color probability.  So Emerson has a 18.7% chance of having blue eyes, 31.2% green, and 50% brown. But if Mark and I had 6 kids (Scary!) 3 would have blue eyes, 2 green, and 1 brown. I don't really get that prediction given Emerson's statistics. But, oh well. It's all in good fun. 

Emerson's mood swings

I think I know you!
Yep, you make me happy!

Mom, you are very entertaining!
Wait,  you are definitely scary!!!
You put me in baby jail!
