8 Months and Excited!

This past month Emily had her first trip to the park, first experience playing in the snow, first time meeting a dog (received her first ticklish slobbery kiss too), and her first taste of cookies. Currently she loves to type on the computer, roll and scoot around the living room floor in search for cords, and she now refuses to drink from a bottle - sippy cup only for this big girl.

First Afternoon at the Park

So what's the perfect way to spend the afternoon when the sun is shining and the weather is beautiful?...

Started out with the swing. Not too sure about it.

Is that a tiny smile peeping out?

Oh no, the BIG smile! I think we like it.

Then came the slide...

Nope, I don't think we were too impressed.
Maybe next time.

BIG Girl!

This past week Emily graduated to a BIG girl car seat. Now she's happy because she sits up higher, straighter, and can see more out the window and Richard and I are happy because now we have one less thing to carry around. Yes, this seems to be a win-win situation for everyone.

Emily in her new car seat for the first time.

Got Milk?

One "craigslist find" swing = $25.00

One bag of Gerber cookies = $2.18

A smile finally caught on camera = Priceless

Who says cookies aren't magical?

Little Snow Angel

The Princess and the Snow

Once upon a time there lived a tiny Princess in a small castle in the heart of Texas where it never snowed.

One day in the middle of February it started to snow throughout the entire land. The Queen, thinking that the little Princess would enjoy feeling the snow, bundled the tiny Princess up and took her outside to see it.


The Princess was indeed very curious about the snow. So curious in fact, that she looked all around her without ever making a peep.




The Princess certainly seemed to be fascinated with the snow. That is, until the Princess felt...snow flakes hitting her face, cold water seeping into her pants, snow on her back as she toppled over, and a snow ball landing on top of her head from the tree branches above. After that, the little Princess wasn't so fascinated anymore.


So the Queen dried all tears and took the little Princess inside where everyone lived happily ever after in the warmth of the heated castle.

The End

Baby Ribs Anyone???
