12 weeks!!

Emma is 12 weeks today - it has been the best 12 weeks and it just keeps getting better. I took a picture of her yesterday before I got her out of her carseat, and I realized that I had taken the same picture, in the same outfit shortly after she was born...she has grown so much!

Some of her favorite things: her thumb (she really wants to be a thumb sucker but we're trying to avoid that habit), her bunny - she loves that it's fuzzy and likes to grab it, being wrapped up in a blanket when she's tired, getting to snuggle with mommy and daddy, her little birds that sit over her bouncer...she is in love with these little guys, moving her little feet around and kicking things.

I swear she knows exactly what a camera is - she could be smiling ear to ear and as soon as I get the camera out she stares at me like 'did you really think you could fool me?' - oh I love her!

just sitting around

Who is that baby sitting up like a big girl? Last week I was able to sneak in some vacation time and I pulled out the ol' bumbo chair, and wouldn't you know my little lady can sit up like a pro.

yay for the holidays

I am so happy that we have our sweet baby to enjoy all of the holidays. I feel like I have so much more holiday spirit than normal - a lot of it has to do with actually taking the time and slowing down to enjoy things, but more importantly sharing it with my little family. We have so much to be thankful for this year.

Here is her first halloween picture

We attempted to take some Christmas themed pictures yesterday but it turned out to be unsuccessful - not for the lack of a cute subject though! I did end up and get some cute pictures in our regular get-up 

two months

Emma turned 8 weeks on Wednesday and I'm not even sure where the time went - I can't believe my baby is two months old.

It is amazing to watch her little personality develop and see her discover new things each day. I am looking forward to the holiday season, although I'm really not quite ready for cold or snow.

Here are some pictures off my cell phone from October. I need to upload all the photos from my camera, especially the adorable halloween pictures!
