8 months old

I apologize because I am a little behind on blogging. Emerson and I shared a birthday this month...33 for me and 8 months for her. She is absolutely amazing and being a mommy gets better each day. She started the army crawl at 7 months and now at 8 months we are crawling, pulling up, and standing. It is amazing how these transformations literally happen overnight. Emerson is the happiest little girl and very much attached to her Mommy and Daddy. I have been looking at preschools for 2011 and she will be almost 2 when she starts. I started crying just thinking about her with a backpack getting ready for preschool. I know it will be here before I know it so I truly try to cherish each day with her. She has the most amazing belly laugh and for some reason thinks Justin and I are hilarious. Justin taught her how to give you "5" at just 8 months. We are now working on blowing kisses. She is saying mama and dada although I'm convinced her first word will be Ziggy. She is obsessed with him or should I say obsessed with getting a hold of him. I think Ziggy is thinking what this baby is mobile?? We are so blessed and I am very thankful I get to spend everyday with her.

Cici and Tito's visit

My parents were here this weekend to celebrate Cici's birthday and mother's day. We had a great time just hanging out smothering E, eating dinner, and watching a movie. I can't believe Emerson is 7 1/2 months old. She is getting so big. We are not officially crawling but we are doing the army crawl and rocking on all fours so it shouldn't be long! Below are some pics from this weekend. Emerson got a new car and some new kicks so check out a few photos below.

Back to blogging...

Sorry I have been out of commission with everyone being sick. Emerson and I got it worse than Justin with our colds turning into a sinus infections. I am attaching pictures of Emerson in the bluebonnets and also opening her Easter basket. Our 2 year anniversary is tomorrow and we will be heading to Dallas for the weekend leaving Emerson with my parents for the first time. We are going to miss her so much. I hope my mom is prepared for the 40,000 phone calls that come along with me leaving her. Emerson is getting very close to crawling we think. She is scooting and rolling all over the place. Life as we know it will be changing forever again.

Emerson's Baptism

We had Emerson's baptism on Sunday with great success minus a few photos I wish I would have gotten of her in her dress. That's ok though I am having her picture taken on Saturday in the dress so that should make up for it. I am so thankful God has blessed me with an amazing husband and daughter. Justin has always been a great husband and is even a more amazing father. Emerson is the center of our lives and we barely remember life before her. I am also very thankful for my family. My parents came in for the big event along with my Meme (E's great-grandmother) from Florida and Courtney from A&M. I love spending time with them and wish I could see them more often. We know that Emerson will have a strong relationship with God as Justin and I do.
