Happy Halloween!

Mom! How's a girl supposed to crawl?

 



I'm in full bloom!

 



 You have to be kidding me!

 

 

 

Happy Halloween! Emma Clare was a flower...although our friend's son thought she was an eggplant (cutest darn eggplant I've ever seen!) We went trick or treating with our friends, meaning we used Emma Clare as an excellent excuse to get candy. Don't worry, we only took candy from a few houses...

In other news, EC had her first week in her new classroom at daycare. She is no the youngest in her class room (by nearly two months!). I'd love to say she is also the smallest, but that simply is not true. She is doing really well in her new classroom, and is learning a lot! Her crawling is improving (she is getting FAST) and she has started pulling up! I'm totally not ready for her to start walking, so don't even mention it!

Oh, and good thing she is so darn cute because Emma Clare has forgotten that she is supposed to sleep at night. I'm guessing this is due to the 4 teeth she recently got, and it looks like we have a few more coming in! She has been sleeping 8pm-1am then getting up for a bottle and sleeping until around 5 or 5:30 and sometimes I can get her to go back down after that. You would think this would mean more naps during the day, no way José! At least she is not a crab because of it, but momma and daddy are sleepy!

Have a great Thursday!



6 Month Check Up

Emma Clare had her 6 month check up on Friday. She is 21.5lbs and 28.5 inches long. So yeah, we are above the 97th% on both. She had to get her shots, which I was terrified of. The last two times she had shots she got an awful fever and just was an unhappy girl all weekend. Not this time! She barely cried when she got all three shots, and was so excited about the bubbles that she didn't cry at all afterwards! Way to go girlie!! The doctor also saw that she STILL has her ear infection, so we are now going on 2 months of this thing! So more antibiotics for Emma Clare. Other than that, she is very healthy, hitting all of her milestones, and just a happy baby!

The picture above was from 6:30am on Saturday. I was still half asleep, so I just set up a bunch of toys and blankets and let her go out it! We are also listening to Christmas music, just to give you a point of reference. She worked really had on her crawling all morning (and all day) and by Sunday night we officially had a crawler on our hands. Guess it is time to start baby proofing the house..

Have I mentioned that we are totally in love with this girl?

Photo Bomb

Saturday morning cuddles. Love this little girl!

This is what happens when Daddy dresses Emma Clare. I say no bows, but he just loves them!

 

 



 How does she get herslef in these situations!

 

 

This one just makes me laugh. This is her yogurt face. She really does like yogurt, not that you can tell from this picture...

Pumpkin Patch!

Sorry this picture is so dark we took it with Chris' cell phone. But how stinking cute is she! This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch-well we are in GA so the pumpkin patch is kind of lame with just a pumpkins sitting around. We did do a corn maze and go on a hayride though!

In other new, Emma Clare has her first tooth! And her second is just about to poke through. Oh, and she is getting moved up to the next class in daycare. Although she is one of the youngest, she is also the most "active" and they can't contain her any longer in the infant class. They've had to start closing the door because she makes it to the hallway on a daily basis. She is not crawling yet, more of an army crawl/roll combination, but she sure is fast!

I took a bunch of cute pictures this weekend, so I'll post more soon!

Visitng Friends

This weekend Chris and I celebrated 5 years of marriage! I can't believe that it has already been 5 years! We have been very blessed. We went and visited our friends, in Asheville, NC. Sophia (Nichole and August's 6 year old daughter) was a great babysitter!! How cute is our little peanut (ok..maybe not so little).

Cute Little Pumpkin!

OMG how freaking cute is she? I really just can't get enough!

No real news-we think we've finally beat the ear infection (after our poor baby had to get shots of antibiotics).

What a cute little pumpkin! Happy Wednesday!

She Can Sit!

I'm so not good at documenting milestones! Emma Clare has been sitting on her own from about two weeks now, and I keep forgetting to take pictures! If I did not have a camera phone, we would never have any pictures! So here she is sitting! YAY! The top picture is actually after she made herself fall, which she thinks is the funniest thing ever (probably because it gives mom a heart attack! She does not just kind of fall backwards like on her own, she flings herself backwards and laughs...). She's pretty darn cute, right?
