Happy 6 months Emma!

This little girl is such a bundle of joy. We have loved watching her grow and experience new things.

Emma loves: 

-Carly

-chewing on anything she can get into her mouth

-sleeping at night

-army crawling 

-her swing on the swing set

-to smile

-eating rice cereal (we have been feeding her off and on for about a month now. She loves it. We have been better about it this past week because she is 6 months!)

-getting into anything Carly is playing with

-walks in the double stroller

-being outside

-being tickled, she is super ticklish!

-bath time with her big sister. Emma lays down and kicks water all over Carly. It is so fun.

-sleeping in the car (We went to Field of Dreams and she slept all the way there and all the way home even with a movie playing in the van). 

-paper, anything that will crinkle and make that noise. She goes after whatever paper she can find and puts it in her mouth.

Emma doesn't care for: 

-church (we trade off who takes her out in the hall, Jeremy has been great about taking care of her during church)

-being left alone

-long naps (she still naps about 30 minutes and then is up, I will take it! At least she sleeps really well at night).

-other people (we have handed her off to other people to hold her, she isn't a fan. She just starts screaming. She loves Carly, Jeremy, and I).

New experiences for Emma:

-falling down the stairs :( I went to change my shirt one last time before heading out the door to church. bad mommy moment. She was fine. Just a little bruise on her head. :( We always have the baby gate up now so that won't happen again.

-army crawling. It is so fun to see her move around on the floor and get to things that she wants. It makes for a happy baby when she can get to things!

-4th of July! This was her first fourth of July. We spent it with the Keller's. They came to visit. 

-Emma sleeps in her own room in her own crib. 

-Emma has blue eyes, blonde hair, and a dark patch of hair on the back of her head that is slowly going away. 

-She still has a little bit of pink on her right eye, but it looks so much better! It quit having so much dry skin and flaking all the time.

-She wears 3-6 months and 6 months clothes. I am slowly putting those away and getting out the 6-9 months clothes. 

-She is in size 3 diapers. 

My favorite picture I took today. They are both smiling and looking at me! Oh how I love watching these two interact. It melts my heart when they laugh and talk to each other. 

4th of July

We had some visitors this weekend! The Keller's came to see our new house and enjoy the 4th of July with us! Warning. Picture overload! We had lots of fun. We went to The Field of Dreams movie site, did some sparklers and small fireworks, played card games and foosball! And enjoyed our beautiful weather.

Oma and Pappa running the bases with Carly. I LOVE this picture. :) 

At The Field of Dreams movie site. It was fun to take the Keller's here. This is my dad's favorite movie! And it was a perfect day to go.

Little miss Carly 

She liked being in the corn! haha

We brought mitts and a baseball to play catch on the field. Carly just ran around and played in the dirt.

Our little family of 4 in the corn. Jeremy doing his Simba pose with Emma.

Carly loved the corn and wanted in this picture.

Happy happy baby and daddy!

Picnic at the park before heading home. Precious Emma loved being on the table.

Pure happiness chasing daddy with his sparkler.

love love love this picture. Both their faces are so happy!

And she went down. haha. She got right back up.

With a Keller gathering there is always PMS cake. :)

Aunt Dana found that Carly likes to comb her arm. haha.

Playing cards and having milk shakes 

That scrunched nose! So cute.  Great picture of Pappa and Emma.

Jeremy didn't know that it wasn't a fountain. The firework started shooting flaming balls at our tree and house! bahahaha mom caught our reaction on camera.

This was taken this morning before they headed home. 

Foosball was a huge hit! Ammon played Dana a lot and got beat. Dad played Jeremy three times and got beat twice!

Owls, sharing, and nails

This owl was sitting in our tree! We hear it all the time but this was the first time that we saw it in our tree.

Just trying to get ready for the day. I have two very big helpers!

Sometimes they share their toys. Carly is in Emma's jumperoo and Emma has Carly's baby. 

The result of Jeremy having holes in his socks. He did it all on his own. He just tore them off! haha

Carly is a huge fan of painting our nails. She was picking out our colors.

I love having such a happy baby! :)
