Having Some Fun...

Earlier this week, Emmy and I went to the Cooley's house. This was really the first time that the babies have noticed each other. So when we put Emmy and Carson on the floor together this is what we got. She had a lot of fun seeing Carson and Jacob, but being the sympathetic baby she is she would cry anytime the other babies did.


This was our first attempt at sweet potatoes. They didn't go over near as well as the green beans did but Emmy likes to eat so she still does well. She doesn't look too sure about this.
To our surprise, sometimes when we go to get Emmy in the mornings she is not laying how we put her to bed. She is not rolling around but she is turning. Normally we put her head towards the door which would be at the bottom of this picture and somehow she scooted to the side and the other morning the complete opposite way. Does this look very comfortable?
This video is too dark to see much, but the important thing with it is the sound anyways. Grant came home from work one day to find Emmy giggling from me giving her kisses.

Busy Weekend...

This past weekend Grandpa and Grandma Zimmerman came to visit and Emory loved having them here. She kept them very busy with everything she can do now. The first night Grandpa and Grandma were here, Emory had her first vegetable: green beans. Needless to say we were all interested in how things would go.
The audience...
We think that Emory enjoyed her green beans.

Most of the weekend Emory spent her time hanging out with her grandparents. She enjoyed listening to Grandpa talking, reading with Grandma and of course going on a stroller ride.


"Has anyone seen my sunglasses?"
This trip everyone took turns feeding our hungry little hippo...
Here is Grant working on displaying his pez. We are so thankful that Grandpa was able to help us make sure they were level and even. The pez have been in a closet for way too long.

Here is another video of Emory. I have to preface this by saying she is not tooting. She has learned a new sound to make with her mouth.

Mother's Day and Baby Dedication

What a treat dedicating Emory at church on my first Mother's Day! My parents, Ryan & Jenny and Donald & Angela were there to show their support for our family. Afterwards, the family went to Breadwinners to eat brunch. It always seems like time with our parents is focused around the meals! The day also included napping and plenty of time playing with Emory.

It was a long morning for out little girl. She was able to take a nap during the service and then she woke up just in time for breakfast.Us and our pastor Neil Tomba

Out to eat with Ryan and Jenny

Happy 5 Month Birthday!!!

Hard to believe that Emory is 5 months old, but here we are!! We have such a happy little girl and we love learning the different things that make her giggle. Every month we have taken pictures of Emory sitting in her rocker and for some reason this month she seems so much bigger to me.

Emory is enjoying a snack on her jumperoo.
Here Emory is showing how good she is at eating oatmeal. (Notice the food smeared on her cheeks).
This is Emory's new way to roll. I refer to it as her "slow roll." She allows gravity to finish the job once she gets half way. I guess you could say its intelligent and lazy.

First Trip to the Zoo!!!

Emmy and I took our friend Angela lunch today at her work, which happens to be at the Dallas Zoo. I would like to say that Emmy really enjoyed her time there, but she fell asleep half way through. So I kept taking pictures because what else was I going to do at the zoo with a sleeping baby?!? Thanks so much to Angela for letting us come visit her and walk around the zoo.

"Mom I don't like the way that bird is looking at me."

Here Emmy is looking at the big turtles behind her. She is very interested.



"That's enough monkeying around mom!"Thanks again Angela and Abi!!
Back at home Emmy thought her jumper looked tasty.

Missing Daddy...

On Monday, Grant went to Kansas City for work. And yes it was just for one night but Emmy really missed seeing her daddy. This was me and Emmy's first night alone and everything went well. When she got up today I told her daddy would be home today and she was SO happy. Emmy just lights up to see her daddy and I can't wait to have him home either.

Thanks for the new outfit Nanny! I can't wait to show my daddy how cute I am.

Yummy!!!

It's rice cereal time!! We get excited over the strangest things since having Emmy. This week we started to feed Emmy rice cereal, and it has been going well. She started by sucking on the spoon and now opens her mouth when the spoon is close.

So unimpressed...

Here is the next night of rice cereal, it looked like Emmy liked it more this night.

What happens after you smear rice cereal all over your face? A bath of course!!

As mentioned before Emmy is really enjoying her feet. On Friday morning Grant went in to get her out of her crib and noticed her the feet of her pajamas were wet. Which can only mean one thing...
She can now put her toes into her mouth! We are so proud.
