Christmas 2008

I can't believe that 2008 is over already and that i have a 7 month old!!! Man how time flies.

This is Emma doing her absolute favorite thing. She LOVES!!!! to play in the bath tub.

We took Emma to see santa. She loved all the people around her, i just wish that we had gone earlier so that she could have spent more time with Santa. They were rushing WAY to fast and she was literally on his lap for 35 seconds. SAD!!!! She didnt even have time to figure out what was going on and then smile.

So for those of you that dont know, we moved to a house in Allen. Moving was a very big adventure. (if you are mailing christmas cards before you get mine in the mail, please let me know if you need my address)


Emma on the day we were painting her room.



Sterling just kept pilling things on when we were moving. i thought this site was just to funny to not take a picture!!!!!

Daddy and Emma playing on the new couch!!!!


The day after Thanksgiving my mom, emma, and i went to the Gallery for shopping. It was amazing especially since we got there in the perfect time to watch the lighting of the tree.


Here is Emma looking at all the people around her.

Emma and I with the tree




We went to go see all the nativity sets at the Allen stake center. Emma just loved all the poinsetta's

Halloween

I was sooo happy to not have to work on Halloween. In the morning i went to Early Vote and the church it was at had a pumpkin patch so i took a few pictures. I just loved the little pumpkin cap, even though everyone all day long was asking how old my little boy was.

Emma was a flower. i loved this costume except that it only stayed on for about 30 minutes. It was almost 80 here on Halloween so a stuffed costume got a little hot.

This is Emily who was grumpy at the whole idea but after this pictures she smiled a little more.
This picture was captured while i was trying to get Emma to smile

Can you believe it!!!!

FIVE months old. She loves....
.......Naps on the couch



....Dumping her toys out so she can play with them all at once
...putting her binki in her toes and then trying to get it back in her mouth.

P.S. (i just noticed that i do not have a bow in her hair once in any of these pictures. Emma wears a bow in her hair EVERYDAY!!!!!)

Are you kidding????


My daughter is eating a pickle. She kept reaching for my hand while i was eating a pickle so i just put it to her lips thinking she would not like it and leave me alone. Oh no, she sucked the thing down. Eventually Sterling took her from me so i could finish eating and she grabbed his pickle off his plate and finished the whole thing. We were in shock and had the whole Corner Bakery eating area talking in shock about us.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

Sterling got his promotion today. Things are a little different then we thought. They had to fire a store manager this week so they moved all the store managers around and Sterling will be going to the Wylie/Murphy store. (this is good because Mckinney is now not going to open until Nov.)

I am soooooo happy for my husband.!!!!

She has tricks

She loves to sit in front of the mirror and play with the baby!!!

She sticks her tongue out 24/7. I feel like i have Gene Simmons baby, and the drool is everywhere.


We cant decide if she is puffing her cheeks out or concentrating on sitting or concentrating on something else.
And finally....she sits. I couldnt be happier. I think she sat for a whole minute on sat. while we were trying to take some pictures for Grammy.
If we put the towel hood over her head , she shakes it back and forth until she pops out. It makes us laugh so hard.
She rolls over in about a second now. if you just pretend like you are going to lay her down on her stomach she starts rolling over in your arms.

She eats....she likes the cereal she just HATES the spoon. I am have tempted to just let her put her hands in the bowl and then suck on them, I think she would actually get more that way.

Sorry

For all of those that did read my post from yesturday, it apprently came out totally wrong. I was really mad at people at work that were just sitting and doing nothing while i was working my tushy off!!!! I was also mad at myself for the simple fact that I just could not say anything to them. It got me thinking and out came my post.

I read on a blog once that you should wait 24 hours to blog about something because sometimes the feeling of the true incident comes off a little differently. It is absoletely true.

I am not sad about anything. Actually my life is pretty wonderful right now (except for work but when is that ever wonderful!)

I love all my friends and i loved the feeling i had when i saw that i had so many comments about that post but then i felt horrible that i came off soooooo wrong.

I want to cry...

I am at work right now, just sitting in my new iv room all dressed up like i am going into surgery, just sitting here...me and my computer.

Sterling calls me, yeah a little smile. To tell me that he put Emma down for her nap on her tummy and when he heard her talking he went in to get her and she was on her back. She rolled over all by herself and absolutely no one was there to see it!!!

I want to cry because i am at work and not at home witnessing my babies first things.

I have a stalker

She follows me everywhere i go. Even sitting with her daddy she has to know where i am at all times. I have never felt so loved.

Two weeks ago, we went on another date...to the exact same place we took our last date. The Rough Riders. Medical Center of Plano is one of the sponsers of the Rough Riders so the Pharmacy gets to use the box for a few games each year and I finally got to get tickets when we had it. We had a blast and thanks a million to GG that stayed home with Emma.

Today little Emma is 4 months old (well really only 16 weeks) and we had the cutest pictures taken of her. I just love them.

Late night photo shoot

We were just hanging out on our bed and Emma looked tooooooo cute to not take pictures. Plus it has been awhile since I have put up any pictures.

P.S. Emma finally initiated her Daddy into fatherhood. I could not have been happier.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!

I worked a ton last week (against my will) and so Sterling decided to show me what Emma learned while I was at work. I am actually sooooooooooo happy I couldnt stop laughing.

When I tried to get her to look at the camera she would only give me this face, but it shows how well she is sitting in his hand.

My new favorite picture with my little girl even though she wont smile directly at the camera. (yes and for those of you looking I cute 12 inches of hair off on Sat. I wanted something new and someone offered me a free hair cut.)

Some one gave me a Bumbo chair, and we love it!!! Look at that smile.

My cutie in her sunday outfit. Thanks Grammy.

Swimming

Emma went swimming (please ignore the big dude holding the baby)
Daddy killing himself to blow up the floaty.

Mommy helping Emma float. Her diaper filling up with water didnt help her, I guess i am going to have to break down and buy the swim diapers.
