Blossoming Reader

Emily is beginning to see the beauty of a good book. She is happy sitting or laying down to read on her own...




and she really loves it when someone reads to her!

Austin PKD Walk Pictures

We went down to Austin for the annual PKD Walk and Fundraiser.  On Friday we visited with Aunt Sarah, Great Grandma Darby, Nana and Grandpa before our first night in a hotel with Emily - man was that an experience!  Paul and I ate our dinner as quietly as possible while sitting on the bed and went to sleep early.  On Saturday we had a good turnout and a fun time walking and chatting.  Afterwards, we went out to Mimi and Papa's house to celebrate Papa's birthday with the whole family.  It was a great weekend!

Austin Weekend

Movie Night

These are some pictures from September 14th. Emily invites you over to watch a movie with her whenever you want. She just requests that you don't take HER spot.

"Okay I'm all ready...who's making the popcorn?"

"I think we should watch a comedy, I feel like laughing!"

"Come on Mama... sit by me!"

"Last one in bed is a rotten egg!"

Lost Binky

Emily has lost her binky. She took it out of her mouth and the next second it was gone! It is Avent brand and clear - which makes it hard to spot. Not to mention the rubber nipple, it will stick to almost anything.
If found please call!

(I wish this video would transfer - it was hilarious)

Three Month Comparison Pictures

Wow, record breaking (at least for Emily's blog) comments last time! Thank you all! Here are the comparison pictures as promised. She looks so tiny in the one month pictures! Wish Mama had put a prop in each time to see her size in comparison. Oh well, you know what they say about hindsight...

Three Months

Emily had her first professional photo shoot today on her 3rd month-iversary. She did really well but wouldn't give a smile to that lady with strange noises and a really big camera! Of course, Mama bought A LOT of pictures but... oh well! Here are a few of the favorites and outtakes.

Mommy's monthly comparison pics to follow at a later time...

Emily laughs

Emily started laughing on August 27th but getting it recorded took a little while.

*The camera angle isn't great but mommy had to keep the camera low so Emily would continue laughing vs. staring into it. Maybe a better video will be coming soon but just had to share this one for now - hope you enjoy!

Just Because

Some might think because there hasn't been a new post lately that nothing has been going on in Emily's world. Not the case! Emily has been hard at work/play getting stronger and smarter.
Here are a few pictures from today "just because."

Look how tall and strong I am!

Still strengthening her neck and back - getting much better!

Emily was REALLY interested in the tag!
