Happy 6 month birthday Emmeline!

Today Emme turned 6 months old! It is hard to believe that this precious baby has been in our lives for half a year. We had such a good day, well, weekend actually. Yesterday we celebrated her cousin Lane's 1 year birthday, which was such a blast! It was rock star themed, and Ellen did such a good job; it was precious. For Emme's birthday it was a little more low key. We just hung around the house, and then as a family we all went to the mall just to toot around. It was a wonderful rainy Sunday.

Typical Emme face. This child has the sad puppy face down!

Charlie came to the party! Notice that his left ear is missing; it is in Emme's hand being yanked! He is surprising me so much with his behavior towards Emme. He did not react in any way to this tugging. He wasn't a fan, but he allowed her to pet him. Good boy Charlie!

Emme's favorite expression as of late. Her tounge is almost always sticking out. It is so funny!

I was going to crop myself out of this pic, but then I thought no. This shows what the priorities are in the house. Emme first and foremost! Our pride and joy.

High Chair Maiden Voyage

Now that Emme is really starting to get into her cereal, we decided it was time to break out the high chair. She loves to take a bite, then stick her hands in her mouth and rub it on her legs. We are really having fun with this new step! This is probably the cleanest anyone will ever see this chair.
By the way, it is currently not in "high" chair mode. It has 3 or 4 levels to adjust for height. This height allows me to sit on the couch and feed her. When she is really into solids, I want to incorporate taking her to the table so that we can have a family meal!



I am eating and working on my abs at the same time! Daddy is proud. Actually she is just about done and ready to get out.

Emmeline modeling Vogue fashion!

Well, not quite yet, but the Halo Sleepsack is all the rage in baby sleep fashions! The below photo was taken from the 2010 Rooms Babies Love JC Penney catalog. Emme posed this pretty pose last December, and the catalog just came out! If you would like a copy, you can go to your nearest JC Penney store or you can request one online at jcp.com. I think I will be heading to the JC Penney at the Parks Mall this weekend to swipe their stash, so I may have copies to pass out soon. We are so proud of our little model baby!

Say Cheese!

Kelly Williams, a photographer in our building, wanted some infant photos to include in her portfolio, and we volunteered Emme to be her subject! In return, we got tons of super cute photos of Emme! Here is a little taste. John took her for the pictures this afternoon, and they had a blast.

I did not know Emme was capable of picking here nose!

She usually fusses during tummy time, but she loved to pose for the photo!

Tutu shots didn't really work out. The outfit is still a little big, but I thought we would give it a try.

Snow Day!

Well, we didn't think we would ever get to use Emme's pink suede snowsuit (courtesy of Ashley), but guess what, it snowed major in Dallas! It's 0-3 months, but very huge, but it kept Emme nice and warm.

Snowball fight, me and you in five minutes!

No this is not a black and white photo. This is a black dog and white snow.

Save the Infant, Save the World!

Our friend Saul is a big fan of comic books, so John photo shopped this image of Saul and Emme. Pretty cool, huh? Have I mentioned that Photoshop is John's latest hobby? He is getting pretty good.

Emme Loving Her Jumperoo!

Ok well, not quite yet. As you can see, her feet do not even touch the ground, but towards the end of the video she gives the biggest smile that is just too cute! Pardon me for making a fool of myself with my sounds, but I will do anything to make her smile! Any day she is going to give us a laugh.
