Thanksgiving & 6 Month Check-Up

We had a great Thanksgiving at home - my parents and sister came to celebrate with us. Emma had a great time being spoiled by the family. Here are pictures of her with her Aunt Toni and her Grandma Temple

Emma turned six months this Tuesday. She went to her 6 month check up and got her shots too. She weighed in at 17lbs and 26 1/4 inches. She is in great health and is now going to add vegetables and fruits to her diet. She is also going to try out a sippy cup with water soon too! She is growing up way too fast.

And....two little teeth popped up today - no wonder she's been drooling so much lately!

Baby's First Halloween

Emma had a great first Halloween! We started our celebrations with a Halloween birthday party for one of Emma's friends. All the kids were dressed in their costumes - they were soooooo cute!

Here is Emma with the birthday cat!

On Halloween night, Emma and I went to a Fall Festival at our church. We helped out with a picture taking booth that our Sunday School class was in charge of...there was tons of candy, but of course, Emma can't eat that yet...so I had to eat her share.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween - we did and we are really looking forward to Thanksgiving!

Here comes the fall (finally)...

Well, it has started getting cooler here. It is down to the 40s in the mornings and at night. I love it. It makes me want to wrap Christmas presents and drink hot chocolate. Emma is so snuggly in her long sleeve outfits and blankets. She is going to make this fall so special. Having her around makes everything so much more cozy and homey. The other night we went out to eat with her and I carried her in all wrapped up with a blanket. I just had to take some photos of her with the blankie.

This is her "blue steel" face.

Cutest Pumpkin Ever!

Emma and I went to a Pumpkin Patch the other day with some friends. We had a great time and got some awesome fall photos! Emma is so cute amongst her fellow pumpkins. Check her out!

Rolling over

Well, Emma is now a pro at rolling over. I can't remember the first time she did it (I wish I had written it down!), but it was a few weeks ago. At that point we could only get her to do it every once in a while and boy did she get mad about it! Within the past couple of days though, she has become a pro at it. Everytime we put her on her tummy she immediately rolls over unto her back. Now, we've just got to get her to roll from her back to her tummy!

Four Months

Emma turned four months on Thursday. She went in for her four month check up and to get her second round of shots. She did really well! She weighs 14lbs & 14oz. They said she was 25.5 inches long, but I didn't think that was correct so when I got home I measured her at 24 inches. We had a good time taking some photos of her over the last couple of days.

Looking pretty after her doctor's visit...

A visit with family

This past weekend Emma and I went to visit family in Camden, AR. My sister flew in from Charleston and Emma and I picked her up at the Houston airport on our way out of town. Toni kept Emma entertained in the backseat on the way to Camden. 8 hours is a long way for a baby! Toni had a good time taking pictures of her niece this weekend. Emma enjoyed being the center of attention and her grandparents enjoyed spoiling her. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Just Emma!
