Happy Easter!

"I love being with my Daddy."
I am so excited to actually have a family shot but oh my I have the cheesiest smile and Gibby is hunched over. I think we were more interested in getting Emma to smile then we were in us smiling.
My mom smocked this dress for her. I am so thankful she can smock.
"This dress taste so yummy."
"I am so thrilled."
"I am not too sure about all of this."

Emma did great for her first Easter. She was awake the majority of the church service, she fussed once for a second, then was out cold in her car seat. The Easter Bunny was very generous this year. She is so thrilled to have big girl toys. We were getting a little bored of the ones we have now. She also racked up on books. Not only am I banned from Target, I am not going to have to be banned from bookstores.

Happy 4 Month Birthday Emma!

It is so hard to believe that little miss is 4 months old. She is becoming such a little person. She has become a lot more interactive and enjoys playing with her toys. Our nights are slowly getting better. Her naps are still sporadic. We get about 4 mini naps in a day. She is trying so hard to roll from her back to her tummy. She will throw herself on her side but then stop. She rolled over from her tummy to her back at 5 weeks and she has repeated it a few times but not as often as we would like. She loves to talk, is not too sure about "strangers", and is already a Daddy's Girl. She started rice cerael last weekend after approval from the doctor. That has gone surprisingly well. She weighed 12 pounds 8 ounces and was 25 inches long at her last doctor's appointment. I am enjoying being a SAHM. Some days get a little stir crazy but I know I would have a tough time leaving her now even if it were for only a day or two a week. Each day brings something new and exciting.

Morning Photo Shoot

Quite the little chunkster

It is hard to believe Emma is 16 weeks old. She is getting so big. Neither Michael or I were big babies so we are still not sure where she gets this chunkiness from. Of course we think it is adorable. Yes, Michael has his fingers taped together. He knocked a chunk of the bone off of his pinky playing basketball.

Cooper & Emma Together

This is the first picture I have gotten of Emma and Cooper "interacting". Since I posted about Cooper the other day and commented on how good he has been with Emma, he has stepped on her poor little leg and got her outfit dirty and then he stepped on the side of her face. I was not too happy with him, Emma on the other hand did not seem phased at all. (That is my white pasty leg in the picture. I really wish I knew how to crop pictures.)

There's that thumb!

I think I am going to cry now......

Poor Emma! She is so pitiful. Her smile can turn into a cry in seconds.

Cooper- Doodles

So I realized our poor pup has not received any blogging time. Cooper is the sweetest dog just a little hyperactive. He is great with Emma. When she was first born, he would get upset when she cried. He has come close a few times to stepping on her but misses her by a hair. He loves to give her kisses. Poor Cooper has not adjusted to not getting all the attention. In fact, he spends the majority of the day playing with our neighbors dogs. (They knocked out part of our fence right after we had it built so the 3 dogs run back and forth between our backyards.)
Busted! We had a feeling he was hanging out on the couch when we were not home. I got up one morning to find him sleeping on the couch. This was right after Emma was born so I think he jsut needed some shut-eye since he was as sleep deprived as we were. These pictures do not do him justice. He is 65 pounds of pure muscle but he thinks he is a small lap dog.
