Family Pictures

The first week of June we were able to take some family pictures. We wanted to get some outdoor shots but it was 100+ degrees that day so we stuck with just the indoor shots. It has been since Will was 6 months old that we had professional pictures taken and we were definitely due. Not only was Will just about to turn 3 but Emma was only 6 1/2 weeks old. We were able to get individual shots of them along with some great family shots as well. Here are some great pics of my babies.

Kansas City Fun

Last week we went to Kansas and the kids and I were able to spend some good time with the family and some friends too. We did a ton of things

One of the many things we did was go to Crown Center were we went to Kaliedascope, the Rainforest display and of course play in the water spouts. Will had a great time considering how hot it was. Emma just was hanging out in the stroller along for the ride.

Here are some pics showing all the fun we had!!

We also went to Deanna Rose Farmstead.

3 Months Old!!



Emma is 3 months old today and is my sweet little angel. On June 17th just after turning 2 months Emma rolled over from her stomach to her back. She has done it several times since but I have failed to capture it on camera. She is close to rolling over from her back to her stomach. Emma is in 0-3 month clothing and fits great in them but in sleepers she is almost too big for them. Most of her length is in her legs but she is so skinny she looks funny in the 3-6 month clothing. According to my rough estimates she is about 11 lbs. and a couple ounces but we don't go back to the doctor until next month.

She is eating every 3 hours and giving me 7 hour stretches at night. She has started laughing and is very happy sitting up or walking around. She will play on her playmat for quite a while. She doesn't care for car rides too much. At the beginning of this month I moved her to her own room and she has done really well. Once a day or every other she gets what I call her "attitude" and for about an hour she throws a fit and nothing makes her happy. It is probably too much stimulation throughout the day.

We have been in Kansas this past week and I have been able to get pictures of Emma with some of her favorite people!!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We did a lot of swimming went to a local carnival.  We did our own fireworks and went to a parade. i think it will be a couple more years before we get to go to a real fireworks show.
