smiling for the camera

1!

Emilia is 1 today! You drive your mama crazy but I love you more than words can say. Happy birthday, baby girl!

almost 11 months

Emilia is (almost) 11 months! Crawling super fast, slooowly growing her two front teeth, waving and clapping, laughing whenever she's told "n0", and eating Cheerios by the fistful.

city girl in the country

It feels weird for me to call my daughter a "city girl" since I grew up on a farm but when we visited my parents, I think Lilah was a bit out of her element. :)

moving right along

Emilia is getting so big! She's crawling now and keeping us on our toes.

summer

first word

Emilia is already doing the opposite of what I say. Her first word is dada.

more days like this

Wish we had more days - and long weekends! - like this.

this is them now

big day

Emmie had a big day today! She rolled over for the first time and she figured out how to put the pacifier in her mouth on her own! So proud. She's the most huggable, squishable wonderful little baby and I love her so.

ready for spring

We are so ready for spring! Lilah keeps wanting to go outside (or O-U-T as Jeff and I have to refer to it so she doesn't think we're actually going out and get excited) but, unfortunately, it's still brrrr cold out here. Emilia is almost 5 months old and I had a few days off in a row so that meant mini photo shoot! She is sleeping through the night great now but still fights falling asleep and hates naps. We're working on it and really, really hope it improves soon. Otherwise, she is such a happy, wonderful baby!

at play

My girls and I were playing one day while dad was away! Emilia is 3 1/2 months here. She loves her bouncy chair and sucking on her hands. And Lilah can always make her smile :).

3 months

Emilia is (almost) 3 months old! Sweet little thing is getting better at practicing her tummy time. She is a lot more playful and is fascinated by her big sister. I think we're getting to the fun stage now! And the longer stretches of sleep at night don't hurt either!
