How could I forget?

Apparently something was funny

In deep thought

Baby Mullet

As you can see in other pictures Emerson appears bald but, don't let that fool you. She still has her long hair in the back. Her hair is falling out. :( So I suppose I will have to hold off on my dreams of these bows.

3 Months Old

Today Emerson is 3 months. Yesterday her cousin, Avery was born making them a day short of being 3 months apart. Pretty cool, huh? We can't wait to meet her! 

Emerson has changed so much. She becomes more interactive every day and we get to see her personality forming. So far she is still pretty laid back. She enjoys just hanging out with no hoopla. Just chatting with her or reading a book makes her super happy. She loves to just hang out in my sling and take everything in. The other day she laughed for the first time at her Daddy. We won't hold that against her though, we all think he is funny looking. :) New this month she is starting to turn in circles by kicking her little legs. She is constantly moving but luckily hasn't rolled over yet. She has also discovered that she has hands and they are very 

yummy. She tries to put both fists and her paci in at the same time. Her mouth is constantly making bubbles and she is stuck on sticking her tongue out all the time. In fact we did a photo shoot today and she stuck her tongue out for the first hour. (Those pics to come soon, we only took a 100).  But, to give you a taste of how cute our little chica is look at her reaction when I sang Happy Birthday to her. 

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.
