Emery is 7 Months!

EMERY

Since Emery will be 8 months next week I figured I better do a 7 month post before it’s too late. Mom fail. Let’s move on. This month went by faster than any month since Emery came into the world. Life these days is busy and we keep both kids on a very regular schedule which keeps us close to home. And I’m ok with that. I don’t want to wish these days away , because they are the ones we will always remember. All of us together making memories, Emery has certainly made this family whole. She is a very happy little girl and I love watching her grow. My sweet little girl I love you more and more with each beat of my heart.

EMERY2

Here's what she's up to these days,

- Is eating 4 bottles a day, and three meals a day!

- Weighs in at 16 lbs 5 oz (at 7 months 3 weeks)

- She’s a little peanut, depending on what brand it ranges from 3-6 months, 6 months and some 9months (carters).

- Is sleeping from 6:45pm to 6:30am.

- Is taking three naps. One short one early morning, One mid-morning and then one late afternoon.

- She is wearing size 3 diapers (target brand)

- Is on the move at all times. Crawling , pulling up and even some cruising . She does not like to be held very long. She’s little miss independent and most content when she can move all around.

- Can say Dada and lots of squeals

- Greets everyone she knows with a huge smile. She is defiantly more hesitant around strangers than her brother was at this age.

- Everything is inserted into her mouth.

- Loves being naked and bath time.

- We started finger foods, hands down favorite thing is cheerios. Still working on mastering to get other foods in her mouth.

- She is so inquisitive and really takes in all that is going on around her. She's soaking up the world around her like a sponge. Especially whatever her brother does.

- Loves to interact with her brother. Whenever Cole gives her direct attention she just smiles and laughs. He is hands down her favorite person.

- Enjoys reading as long as she can touch the book.

-Loves the kitty cats. She is always trying to pet them and chase them.

- Her hair is really starting to come in and its blond.

- I'm guilty of calling her Em all the time. Cole does too as well as Emmy. Dada still calls her Emery.

- Still has only two teeth but the drooling has picked up again so I think we have some more coming.

Emery we are so proud of your accomplishments already...so be it they are small you my girl will move mountains. When you were diagnosed with hip dysplasia and put into a brace till 3 months old we just figured you would be a bit behind physically, well you have shown us sweet heart to never assume. You can do anything my dear and I believe it!

August

Labor Day has passed and I suppose summer is officially over. I have to say I’m not sad to see it go. My favorite season hands down is Fall. I love the cool weather, the leaves changing weather, jeans and boots, football , etc…. . I digress. I was talking about August and the end of our summer. Our summer was nothing glamorous or very adventures which I suppose is expected when you have an infant. We certainly didn't make it to the pool as much as we had wished but I suspect that to be very different next year. There was lots of backyard fun with our favorite neighbors, yummy dinners, a concert, birthday celebrations, our friend’s wedding, the zoo, a visit to the Renaissance Fest and the start of preschool for Cole! August was also the month Emery decided to go from a baby to a toddler. Well not really but she’s on the move and there’s just no stopping her. Watching our ambitious little girl move has been very entertaining and scary for all of us. Life is one big ball of crazy, I so wish I could slow down and write about it more or even just post pictures. These infrequent posts are as good as it’s going to get for now. So here's a bunch of pics in no particular order.


 Cole hugging his sister...I may of bribed him to sit there so i could take a picture of him.

My beautiful friend got married and I seriously couldn't be happier for her. Buddy and Laura are a perfect match!

We went to the Zoo with GG and it was great. Every time we go Cole finds something else to love. This time the birds and the Zebras were a hit.

We explored the entire Zoo, they have a slide that is built into the tree. I believe Cole went down it 20 times before we could move on.

Getting a picture with the 2 of them looking and smiling is nearly impossible as you can see below. My mom tried to catch one and then I did. No luck. But still adorable.

Courtney and Chris came up for Court and Mom's birthday. Cole was beyond happy, he doesn't leave either of them alone when there here. Its pretty cute.

This place is called the Point and it's not to far from our house. Whenever we got the chance to go to dinner sans kids we headed here. 

THEPOINT

Been about 15 years since my last visit to the Renaissance festival so I wasn't really sure what to expect but it's certainly a show.  And just perfect for my little 3 year old boy who is in love with Dragons, Swords and Nights.

Most of all I love taking pictures of my babes. But I'm sure you know this cause I'm always over sharing pictures i have taken of them! These are from this weekend. The weather was perfect Saturday and we decided to spend some time down at are community beach.

 This is the first time we have let Emery down on the sand. At first she just touched it and crawled around. But soon enough she was taking hand full of sand straight into her mouth.
