Little Quentin

These days it is really hard to get on a laptop around Emerson. She has pushed my laptop off the couch. Quentin has had to replace my keyboard because she broke the space bar. She is also very interested in how things work. (Could she follow in daddy's footsteps???) She turns over all of her toys to see how they work.

Today she knocked my blackberry off the couch and the back popped off. Emerson got on the floor and sat there for 10 minutes trying to put it back on.

11 months & the 8th tooth

Only one more month until our little miss turns 1 year old! We have started planning and are getting very excited about her day. Also, FINALLY, that 8th tooth has broken skin. Maybe now she will start feeling better. She has been chewing on everything and hasn't been her smiley self the last couple days.

Lots of catching up....

I have been playing catch up on the blog today so be sure to scroll down so you don't miss any posts.

Ahhh, Baby Einstein!! The only way I get Emerson's nails clipped.

What Ma Ma???

4th of July

Emerson loves her Uncle Kale.

Happy Birthday America!!!

Emerson had a wonderful first 4th. We started the day with ribs & swimming. Then finished with the fireworks @ Snowden Grove in Southaven. Emerson stayed up late enough to see about half of the fireworks and she loved them (just like her mama). Maybe next year she will see the finale.

This was taken just before she passed out.

Such a hard life

Emerson was all tuckered out after a 5 miles walk/ride.

Into everything...

Miss Emer is into everything these days. I know that I say that every couple posts but the things she finds to get into amazes me. She has always been interested in Roxy's cage but has never tried to get in, until now...

She also found the tiny rocks in the fireplace the same day. Does anyone know how to clean these dang things??? They are so dusty!!

This is what's keeping her occupied while I catch up on the blog.

Swimming fun

Our sweet neighbors invited us over for some relief from the heat yesterday. We had a blast and Emerson loved watching the older kids (& Ella) play. Thanks Middleton's.

10 months old

Our precious girl turned 10 months old last week! Where has the time gone? Her personality is really starting to show and she is getting better at letting us know what she wants. She is trying all kinds of new foods and, so far, likes everything she has tried. She still only has 7 teeth but she is acting like the 8th one is on it's way. She pulls up on anything and everything but has also had her share of falls. Maybe she will get the hang of being upright before to long.

Sweet baby girl

Enjoying a little baseball.

If you look hard enough you can see all 7 teeth (8th will be through any day).

We LOVE our buggies!!

This is much better than laying around!

Sorry for the short delay. We have just been enjoying Emerson. Other than her new accomplishments there has not been a whole lot going on. Emerson is everywhere and officially into EVERYTHING!! She is also pulling up and cruising.

Just hanging with "Dada"

Here are some pics I took of Quentin and Emerson playing outside this afternoon.

A' Fair

Saturday we went to the Hernando square for A' Fair. We enjoy seeing all of our friends and watching all of the people. Emerson likes being in her stroller and loves being outside so she had a blast. The Ole Miss baseball team played that afternoon so we had to deck her out in her red and blue. Her dress was blue and you really could not tell it was a dress when she was sitting in the stroller. Needless to say, she got called a he about 5 times before we found a tent selling bows. We then started looking for a bow that would stay in what little hair she has. Then we met the nicest lady who made us take a red bow and told us to just keep putting it back in her hair every time it fell out. The lady would not take our money but told us to buy more bows from her when Emerson gets more hair. We will be purchasing many more bows from http://www.cjsbows.com/ in the future. We love our little (but growing) town.

Doesn't she look adorable in the bow that would only stay in the little bit of hair she has on the center of her head?

She was out after a busy morning.

Here are some cute pics from Sunday night.

9 months old

I teared up tonight as I downloaded these pics to my laptop and looked through older pictures of Emerson. She has grown and changed so much in the last 9 months. I love her more and more everyday. She is so sweet. She is playing patty cake, saying "mama", and clicking her tongue. It cracks me up watching her play on the floor. She crawls around playing with her toys and I just can't believe she wasn't even rolling over 6 months ago. She has changed my life in so many ways. What did Quentin and I do before this angel arrived?

She's crawling!!

Emerson decided she was ready to start crawling Thursday while we were playing @ Ashley & Ella's house. She is not moving very quickly but she can now get to that toy she just threw across the room. Thanks Ella for showing Emerson how to get a around.

Emerson now has 5 teeth and is waiting on one to break the skin any day now. She doesn't do to bad when teething but usually has a clingy day just before they appear. I don't have any pictures of all 5 teeth but will post one if I can get one later.

Here are some pictures from the last week.

Emer's first vacation

We were so excited to get to go on Emerson's first vacation, especially since Quentin had been sick. We were worried about Emerson flying but she was wonderful!!! She was happy just hanging out & playing in our laps on the flights. She did start getting more teeth the day before we left but she was only a "hand full" that one day while on vacation. The island was beautiful. We are looking forward to future trips to the other islands.
