4 Months

Emery is 4 months old! She weighs 11 lbs 15 oz and 23 1/4 inches long. She is still pretty petite but has grown.  We had a great report at our 4 month check up and Emery is right on track.  She is such a great baby and everyday is a blessing with her.  Brent and I just love hanging out with our little girl as a family.  I just love thinking that everything we do together is the first time Emery has ever done that particular thing.  Speaking of firsts, we visited Greune Hall a few weeks ago with Grammy, Grandpa, Mimi and PawPaw.  It was such a beautiful day and we just love the hill country town of Greune, Tx.  It is amazing how the short 30 min drive to Greune can relax us all.  After our day in Greune we went to wonderful dinner at Macado's in New Branfels.  If you have never been to Macado's you need to go.  It is located in an old restored post office in the heart of the town. I had the BEST seafood gumbo and key lime pie! YUMMY!
This month Emery loves sucking on her hand and really anything you put in her sight.  She drools all the time, bibs are a must these days.  Loves mommy and daddy talking to her so she can smile big! Emery brings her hand up to hold her bottle. She babbles all the time and loves standing up on my lap. Her head control is really getting strong and tummy time is becoming much more enjoyable.  :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I am reminded of all the LOVE that surrounds me.  I feel so thankful and blessed.  The LOVE of my GOD, my FAMILY and my FRIENDS is truly amazing.  My life would not be possible with out their LOVE. 
"You shall LOVE the LORD your GOD with all your HEART, all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it. You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself. "
Matthew 22:37-39

We had two Valentine's outfits so we had to wear both of them!! Red is definitely my color!
Emery's First Valentine's Day!

We love you this much....XOXOX

3 Months...where have you been?

I know it has been a while since my last blog but this mom is busy loving on her little girl!!  Emery Catherine is now 3 months old.  She has just grown so much.  Her looks are starting to change and her movements are just getting so big.  We are just loving every moment of getting to know her more and more. It is just amazing to compare pictures of her at 1 month and now 3 months.  See below.
She loves her play gym, sucking on her entire hand, kicking her legs and smiling.  She recognizes our voices and will follow us around the room with her eyes.  Emery also loves watching Goose walk around the room.  Emery makes new noises everyday.  We do not have a full out giggle yet but we are very close.  We are working on sitting up in the bumbo and holding our head up. 
As you can tell from the 3 month photos we are much more active, we are all smiles and we slowly wiggled our way to a face plant in the glider.  At 2 months we did not like our bow and at 1 month our new born onesie was way too big.
