Chip Off The Old Block

This is a picture of me at around 4 months of age with one of Emerson at the same age - and people say she looks like me??

Smoking Jacket or Bathrobe??

Our good friends, Matt and Jennifer Card, gave Emerson this bathrobe at her baby shower. We all kept laughing because everyone kept saying it looked like a baby's smoking jacket! Anyhow, we finally remembered to snap a picture of her in it after her bath the other night and wanted to share.

Swimming!!

We took Emerson to the local waterpark for the first time and she loved the water. After all the work of getting her covered in sunblock, finding a rashgaurd small enough for her, finding a cute hat and buying those Little Swimmers diapers (which we had to cut off of her - how else do you get those things off when they poop - pulling them off just creates more of a disaster to cleanup!!) - she spent a little time in the pool and then passed out under the shade. We can't wait until next summer when she is a little older and she can really run around and splash about in the water!

Emerson's 3 Month Pics

Well, I know this post comes a little late (as Emerson is now over 5 months old and these are pics from when she was just over 3 months). Anyhow, we just scanned them into the computer and wanted to share some of our favorite pictures from her 3 month photo session.

Real Food. . . Finally!

Yesterday was Emerson's first taste of real food. We started the feast with sweet peas and she loved them. Usually there is quite a mess after we are finished with cereal, but she hardly let a drop escape her mouth. Who knew sweet peas were so good! I did actually taste them and they are pretty good. We are going to add some fruit after a few days, which she will probably inhale. Our little girl also used her highchair, which I can't believe we haven't used until now. This thing is great, and she can sit right there with us for dinner.

Emerson Meets her Uncle Barry

We just wanted to share some photos of Barry's visit to SC to meet his new niece! She just loves him, and we were so happy to have him come visit. Check out the picture gallery for more pics of our good times.
