Horray for Bobux!




Well, it's been really nice the past few days so Boo and I have taken full advantage of them! She is also getting better at sitting in her new "big girl" convertible car sear. The pictures of shoes on the bottom are the new shoes I ordered for Boo, unfortunately they are both too big! I ordered a Large and an Extra Large. Turns out she needs a medium ssssoooo.... we're going to order a different pair, hopefully the giraffes in a medium. Jeez, this kid is blowing the bank! :) But, aren't those shoes super cute? Plus they stay on really well. I put the larges on her yesterday and they didn't come off. So, Nana, no worries Boo now has enough (crib) shoes until she's really to walk. Then we'll buy her regular shoes. Anywho.. we really are trying to add milk product back into my diet, its hard sometimes I overdue it and she has alot of gas... but that's it no 6 hour screaming sessions or anything like that. I hope she'll be able to tolerate milk when she gets older. Avoiding milk for this long, I know how hard it is to just find something you enjoy. Let alone find a variety of things to eat. So, here's praying for the best. Emma is also such a talker as anyone who has seen or heard her lately knows. She's going to be a smart one I think! :) Still no crawling though, but she is doing the up on all fours rocking back and forth. So, it will be soon!!!! Yikes, we should probably be babyproofing soon also! Don't worry I'll get right on that! Next time we're at Target that will be on the list: baby proofing suppies...check! Emma is going to be dedicated at church in May, I will send out invites to all the family. But, rest assured I do not antipate everyone being here. We totally understand just want to let everyone know we're thinking of you and would like you to be apart of this special day in our little girls life. KOLAP.gifCATP.jpg

Knock on Wood





Well...it seems that Boo has...dare I say...found a nap routine!!! Even if she only takes one nap it's usually after she eats lunch. YEAH! She loves to scoot around now, she moves so fast. Even while sleeping, she moves all over the place, its so cute. She usually rolls until she finds me, cuddles us next to me then stays put. There are no words, its so precious. I cannot imagine having missed all those moments if we hadn't decided to co-sleep. Besides bf it's the best bonding tool by far. The bottom picture is a rare one:Emma smiling in her car seat. I'll have to post a pic of her in her new car seat. We still use her old car seat when we go on stroller rides though. We'll use it until she out grows it-which will be very soon! Her 18 mo. clothes just fit she'll be in 24 mo/ 2T soon!! AGR!! Where did my tiny baby go?

Bye bye

So, Matthew is going on his wild boar hunting trip this week. He's leaving early Wednesday morning and returning late Friday night. So he won't see baby awake again until Saturday! Hopefully, we don't go crazy by ourselves!! But, I did have a few things planned for us to do but, I looked at the weather and it's supposed to snow Thursday, Friday and Saturday! :( Well, at least Wednesday is going to be nice enough (60s!) to go out and about. Oh, also Emma is getting very good at scooting! This is usually the prelude to crawling....so we'll see....
Emma has also been "singing" a lot lately! Well, I call it singing. It's like her "talking" just really, REALLY and I mean REALLY HIGH PITCHED! It's pretty funny, I've been trying to get a video of it. But, for now this is Emma on 2-24-09, her first time trying sweet peas.

Last Few Weeks Recap






Okay, we've been really busy so now it's time to get back to bloggin! Emma still has no teeth and hasn't said any recognizable words yet. Emma got a booster seat from Toys "R" Us, so now she has her very own chair to eat in! What a big girl! And it has a toy tray that attaches onto the eating tray. So, she can play when she's done eating that way Matthew and I can have our dinner too. We also got a new car Honda Civic, as you may or may not know our wonderful Honda Accord was totalled by a genius who ran a red light and nearly killed Matthew. The Civic isn't as nice as the Accord but, at the end of this lease we'll probably go back to an Accord. We couldn't get an Accord again because they're way more expensive than they we're 2 years ago when when leased the black one. It's confusing I know. But, anyway we have a new car so hopefully this one will make it to the end of its leasing term.
Now, onto Boo...she's getting more mobile. Although she doesn't crawl yet, she scoots on her tummy pretty well, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Why, just last night she was on her tummy playing with Matthew and she pushed herself up onto her bottom. She went from tummy to sitting up as if it was nothing!! Like I said, it's only a matter of time!
Also Boo is eating her oatmeal very well, she can't seem to get enough of it! We're going to be trying rice cereal next, I'm sure she can't wait!
