ZOO TRIP

Mesmerized by a panther

The meerkat came right up to Emerson in her stroller

Quentin took a vacation day Monday and we took Emerson to the Memphis Zoo for the first time. Emerson liked the loud monkeys and the big cats (she was probably looking for Roxy). It was a little cooler outside than we expected but made due. We had a blast and will definitely go back.

Saint Patrick's Day

The weather Tuesday was warm and sunny so we spent the day outside with our friends Ashley and Ella. Emerson loves playing outside and so does Mommy. She really liked Ella's Exersaucer (above pic).

Swinging is so relaxing, it seems to put Emerson to sleep every time......

7 months old

I cannot believe 7 months have passed since Emerson was born. It has been some of the best months of my life. I am truly blessed to have such a loving, happy and usually laid back daughter. She is such a joy to Quentin and I.

The temperature dropped keeping us inside all day. We did make the most of being indoors and had plenty of tummy time. Emerson wants to move but hasn't quite figured it out, yet. She is scooting back a little. I know she will be unstoppable before long.

First trip to Oxford

Since we also had beautiful weather Saturday we decided to take Emerson for her first trip to Oxford, MS. We started out by going to the Ole Miss/Vermont baseball game, then hung out in the Grove and finished the day with sushi. We had a fantastic day and can not wait for many more days like this to come. Hotty Toddy!!

Quick picture

The weather Friday was very nice but also very windy. Emerson & I took this as an opportunity to play outside. This was the first time Emerson has really played outside. She loved every minute of it.

Teeffies

Emerson has been drooling like a mad woman for a couple months now so we knew the teeth were coming. Well, they decided to come through a couple weeks ago. For your viewing pleasure I posted a couple pictures that show here 2 tiny teeth (double click on the picture to get a better look). Needless to say, she is chewing on everything. This baby doll seems to be her favorite "teether."

Sitting pretty

Emerson has been sitting up for a couple weeks now and gets better at it everyday. So, today we had a blast playing around with the camera Quentin gave me for Christmas. Emerson is so patient with my picture taking obsession but definitely let's me know when she has had enough. Also, as you can see, Emerson & Roxy have become best buds. Roxy can not enter the room without Emerson stopping what she is doing to watch the dog. They are so cute together. We were a little worried about how Roxy would perceive Emerson but was relieved to see how great Roxy is with her. All is good.

I am having trouble uploading pictures but am getting help from Ashley tomorrow....

FINALLY...

I just love the ruffles.

Finally!!!! After trying about 38 times I was able to upload some pictures. I am planning on posting a few older pictures and then doing my best to keep everyone up to date on Emerson. Happy Viewing!!!

Welcome

Welcome to Boyd family blog. I am very excited about sharing pictures and telling stories about our baby girl, Emerson Lindley. She is a great joy and I can no longer even image what life would be like without her. Please be patient with me as I learn to blog and I will try to stay on top of current events taking place in Emerson's life.
