Fall Festivities!

The past two nights have been full of fun fall festivities!!! Last night we went to our church's Trunk or Treat. Emma was sleepy when we went so she was pretty solemn most of the night... UNTIL we got in Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage:) as soon as I took her in it to take our picture she started smiling and giggling! It was so sweet!
Tonight we went to Taren's house (Melissa's sister) for some pictures of all our the babies in their costumes! :) We had such a fun time! Thanks for being such a wonderful hostess Taren:)

On our way to Trunk or Treat!

Happy Anniversary to us:)

Tonight Trav and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary! :) God has been good to us and blessed us more than we could ever have imagined in two years! We went out for supper and had planned on going to a movie afterwards...but by the time supper was over we were both tired and wanted to go home and just relax! Emma went to her Nan and Pop's house while we were on our date! I'm posting a few pics from the evening!

Emma looked so sweet today! My dear friend Michelle came for a quick visit last night and brough Emma this sweatshirt as a present... I do believe it's my favorite little sweatshirt that Emma owns! Thanks Michelle:)
Before I brought Emma over to Nan's house she had a bath at our house... I put her in her pj's and put a hat on her because her hair was wet and it was chilly outside...I thought she looked cute and cuddly so I tried to capture the moment...needless to say she did NOT want to capture this moment :)

Happy Anniversary Travy!!! (I'm not sure what I'm doing to his shirt in this pic..?)

My dessert! On the left is cream brullee, then a fancy s'more and last a fancy doughnut hole! It looked so pretty that I wanted to take a pic of it... I think I embarassed Trav when I did this!

Happy Friday! Here are two videos that I took a couple of nights ago! The first is of Emma making kissing noises at Travis:) .... and only at Travis... towards the end of the video he left and I tried to get her to make the noise at me... but I guess I'm not as cool as her dad:) oh well

The second video is of bathtime... every since she was a little baby we put her in the bath tub and she has ALWAYS kicked her legs furiously while laying on her back! Now that she's bigger it's like visiting Shamu at Sea World... you leave the bathroom soaked!

Waffles, Grilled Cheese and Crazy Hair

I know that I say it all the time... but Emma is getting to be such a big girl! I love the age she's at right now because every day she seems to be doing something new:) For a long time she wasn't interested in any foods besides her bottle. Just in the past couple of weeks she has REALLY taken an interest in what we're eating. I kept trying to feed her baby food but she wants nothing to do with it... so big people food it is! I love it because now in the mornings her and I will sit down and eat breakfast together! The foods that I get her to eat the most of are waffles and grilled cheese! It's fun to watch her eat because she concentrates very hard on picking up each piece...then she'll chew it carefully....and then go on to the next piece:) I love it!

I had thought that by 9 months Em's hair would be laying down... but no... it still stands straight up! I love to put headbands with big bows on her but during the day when we're at home that seems a little over the top:) So we've been trying little clippes! They look cute because it clips down a tiny section of hair and the rest just poofs up around the clip! Ha! I'm going to work on jazzing up her clips this weekend.... I'll post pics when I finish them!

I'm really looking forward to our weekend! Saturday night Trav and I are going out on a date to celebrate our 2 year anniversary!!! Dinner and a movie I do believe! :)

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Eating her waffles

If you look real close you can see the 4 teeth coming in the top!

The Blonde Afro

Sweet baby girl! She was sleeping with her head resting on her hands:) It doesn't get any cuter than that!

Our Weekend

We have been having the nicest weekend! It feels like the best weekend ever! I think part of that might be because last weekend was a bummer since I was sick:)

Yesterday morning we went to the Pumpkin Patch to take a few pictures of Emma. Needless to say I didn't get one..that's right ONE good picture of her! She has four teeth coming in on the top and the poor girl was a little fussy this weekend. She was a little stinker and wouldn't even look at the camera:) After we went to the Pumpkin Patch we headed over to Bass Pro to walk around and to let Trav show me things that he might want for his birthday and Christmas! I would like to note that Emma did smile twice while we were in Bass Pro... once when she saw herself in a mirror:) and the other time when her Daddy lifted her stroller high up in the air like a roller coaster! We then came home and took naps and spent the evening together as family. It was so nice!

This morning was church.... our church has the BEST nursery department! The babies are divided into groups and they get moved up either by age or by their skills. We love Emma's nursery workers and I don't want her to move rooms! This was the first Sunday in nursery since Emma figured out how to crawl and pull up. When we went to pick her up they told us that she had one more Sunday with them until she was "promoted"... bummer! Our girlie is getting so big:) No more Baby B for her.. we're moving up to Baby C!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Looking angry that she has to sit on a pumpkin and take a picture:)

Holding her little pumpking


I was trying to get her to smile for a picture of the 2 of us... this was as good as it got. :)

Trav and Emma

At Bass Pro... this is how her face looked all day! Poor little pup!

Our one happy smile of the day!!! :)

Before church this morning!

In the same solemn mood...:)

I thought I would end on a happy note! :) This was after her nap and four handfuls of blueberry Puff snacks!!! I'd be happy too!

Sweet Girl!

Tonight Emma and I were laying on her bed reading books and she was being so cheerful and sweet! Here's a pic that I took of my sweet sweet girl!

Back from our long weekend!

Well... I'm finally posting again! I don't have any exciting pictures from our weekend! We had great plans of going to the Pumpkin Patch, out for supper with college friends and hanging out as a family...but all we ended up doing was hanging out as a family:) It wasn't as fun as it sounds... I was sick all weekend with strep so Trav was in charge of taking care of Emma and me:) It made for a very long weekend! He was such a great husband and daddy this weekend! At one point on Sunday he said "how many diapers DO you change during a day? I think she's peeing and pooping more than usual!?" :)

This weekend Emma's crawling really took off! She's fast as lightening! The weather has been so beautiful that I've been leaving our front door open with the screen door shut... I love it because she'll crawl over and watch the cars go by...then she'll crawl around the living room a bit...and then head back to the screen door to sit and watch the cars a little bit more. She's loving being so dependent on her own little limbs! :)
Yesterday I left Emma alone in the living room for 5 seconds (it was seriously just 5 seconds...this girl is FAST)...when I walked back into the living room she had found the diaper bag (which was in a corner far away from her), pulled out her puff snacks, taken off the lid and dumped them on the floor and in the diaper bag. She was busy picking puffs off the floor and stuffing them in her mouth. She probably didn't know what to do with herself because I only give her one at a time and here she was with Puffs as far as the eye could see :)
The last picture is of Emma and Macey looking at their books. They sat like this for quite awhile... until Emma turned into a bully and kept trying to take Macey's book away from her!
Have a great Wednesday tomorrow!
