5 months old!

Emma is five months old this week!
Emma graduated to the "big girl" stroller today. She now looks forward on our walks. Apparently, this wears her out!



This week, she has been enjoying the Gerber vegetable medley, her first "real" food. She enjoys the new taste and looks forward to going in her high chair. We can now eat dinner as a family ...except that only one parent can eat at a time :-)



It is cool in the mornings now, so Emma has to bundle up for her early morning walks. Yes, the bow is there to make sure everyone knows this is a girl when she is in blue from head to toe!



And as a bonus a couple more photos....stay tuned for Emma's first Halloween!

All Moved In!

Life without internet has been rough, but I made it. We are all moved into our home and love it. I will try to catch you up on the last couple weeks with these photos!

Here is a photo of the lake just a couple blocks away. there is a 10 mile trail around the lake.



As for moving in: We were very lucky that our furniture came the same day as we needed to leave our temporary living. Emma upgrade her living standards significantly...see before and after photos here:



Emma still loves her papa...more than ever!



Grandma came and visited us last week. We did a lot of shopping and went to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens just a mile away for their pumpkin festival.




Emma is now being spoon fed rice cereal...will put some photos up later of this!
Her new favorite toy is the jumper, see photo and video!

4 months old

Emma is four months old already! At the doctor yesterday, she was measured at 24 1/2 inches and 13lbs, 13 ounces, about perfect for her age. She has a new look in her eyes these days of recognition of her surroundings...or perhaps she is planning her escape. She can almost roll on her tummy now, but gets stuck by her arm. Here are some photos.




We bought a new playmat at Ikea....can you find Emma in this photo??
