Naked Emma

The other day Emma had a diaper rash, so we got her naked to give her hiney some fresh air. She just had the best time. Here she is being super cute and flapping like a little birdie!

Happy Emma

Busy Baby

This past week Emma traveled to Indiana for the first time to visit Gram and Pop. She had lots of fun seeing her grandparents and meeting some family members for the first time! And she really liked Shelby the dog and Pepper the cat. Emma got to visit with both of her great-grandmothers and was such a good baby on the airplane. Today it was back to the grind, and Emma went back to Aunt Heather's. She had a really good day playing with Ben and taking medium naplets with dreams of spring break.


Emma also went to the doctor for her 9 month visit today (it was a busy day). Aside from having her toe squeezed and pricked 5 times for bloodwork (yes, 5 times- she fought the needle!) the appointment went well. Emma weighs 15 lbs, 11 oz., which is on the small side. Actually, "elfin" according to the pediatrician. The doctor assured us that Emma's development is good and she's very healthy, in spite of her being petite. She eats a lot, drinks lots of milk, and is as happy as can be. What more could we ask for?

Dallas Arboretum

Last week over Nicole's spring break we went to the arboretum for Dallas Blooms! The flowers were beautiful of course, and we had fun taking pictures of Emma. She tried to eat part of the scenery a few times, but we managed to keep her from swallowing any flowers or dirt. Here are a few of our favorite pictures, taken by the talented Grandpa Mike.
