Getting Big!



Our Little girl is not so little anymore! Look at how darn cute she is! Emma Clare got to visit this weekend with Grandma Pat. We had lots of fun in our Jumparoo! She can finally touch the ground! She has been all smiles lately-except for when it comes to nap time. She is really fighting her naps right now (still sleeping well at night) but we hope that passes soon. Can't wait for our visit from Grandma Claudia and Uncle Adam and Aunt Marissa soon!

Swimming!


Emma Clare got to go swimming with Aunt Caitlin and Uncle Mark this past weekend in Hilton Head. Once she got use to the water, she really enjoyed herself! It has been so hot here that even in the water she could only hang out a little while. I think we have a swimmer on our hands! Oh, but the way, that suit is 3-6mo and we had a really had time getting it on her (even harder getting it off!)

Emma Clare is getting more and more fun each week. This weekend we brought the jump-a-roo down from the attic-she loves it! She is almost tall enough to touch the ground, so we just put some extra Algebra text books underneath (doesn't everyone have those laying around?!). I'll be sure to post pictures of that soon!

This weekend my mom and Godparents are coming down (Chris will be in Cleveland for a wedding). We can't wait!!

Happy (LATE) 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Ok, the post is a little late, but I'm busy with a 3 month old! Wow, three, months, where has the time gone! As you can see, Emma Clare loves to swing. And yes, she is totally dressed like a boy in her fourth of July outfit, but she did have a very cute dress that she decided to pee on and so outfit number two had to come out (this might have been outfit number 3..the girl spits up a lot too...)

We are having lots of fun and enjoying the summer (and time off with Daddy!). It has been hot, hot, hot! Emma Clare went swimming for the first time this weekend! Other than that, we've been spending a lot of time inside! She is smiling a ton, and just started laugh. Her laugh is so funny!

In other news, our baby girl is BIG! We went to the doctor because we thought Emma Clare had a rash, turned out to be eczema. We did not get a height measurement, but she is 15.8 pounds. She looks like she grew a few inches too, so we'll see at the 4 month check up!
  

And, just so I remember when I look back years from now, here is what Emma Clare's schedule currently looks like:

8am-9am: wake up and eat a bottle (6oz)

9am-10am: play time! Loves to play with her bug toy and swing

10am-12pm: nap

12pm-1pm: bottle (6oz)

1pm-2:30: outing with daddy (usually home depot or target)

2:30-3:30: nap

3:30: Bottle (6oz)

4:30-5:00: play time

5:00-6:30: nap

6:30-7:00: play time

7:00: bottle (6oz)

7:00-9:00: play time with a nap mixed in every now and then

9:00: tummy time, bath and bottle (6oz)

10:00 bed time

We have some variety with this schedule, but this is basically how it works each day. As you can see, our baby girl loves sleep! We have her sleeping (through the night!!) in her crib, and we are try to transition to the crib for naps, especially her longer ones in the morning and afternoon.

Ok! That was a long update!! We have lots of people coming to visit in the next few weeks! Can't wait!


A weekend of Jordan! Celebrating the little guy turning 8!! Can't believe it!
