This past week we have had some wonderful weather! It has been so warm, and not very windy (which is very unusual for Lubbock)! So, we have been taking full advantage. We have been keeping the backdoor open in the afternoons to get some fresh air and let the puppies run in & out when they want, which they love! We have also been going on walks around the neighborhood in the evenings, and grilled out!
Here's Emma & Daddy cuddling one night last week.
Here's Emma & Daddy cuddling one night last week.
This girl is just so cute when she's asleep, we can't help but take pictures! :)
Notice the rock in her right armpit? That was a gift from Raider. He snuck it in from the backyard while I was feeding Paxton & couldn't confiscate it from him. I'm not sure if he was hoping she'd hide it/keep it safe for him, or that maybe I wouldn't take it away if she had it, or if he was trying to be nice & give her a gift, but it sure was funny!
Emma is very excited about summer coming soon, and so are we! This was Saturday night after going to Abuelo's for Mindy's birthday!
After dinner, everyone (Jared, Hollie, Parker, & Mindy) came over to our house for cheesecake & presents! Here's the video clip of our lovely version of Happy Birthday!
Uncle Jared & Aunt Hollie brought Emma an Easter gift, which she opened all by herself! And yes, we video taped it! :)
Emma tried carrots for the first time Saturday night! Here's the video clip of her first taste:
We took Emma to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time on Sunday afternoon at the Lubbock Mall! So, of course, she had to wear her Easter dress! It came with the hat, but Colton & I didn't just love it...so I made her a bow really quickly before we left!
Here she is with the Easter Bunny! She was so funny! I held her in front of him for a minute before handing her over to him, and she just stared and stared! She kept on staring once she was in his lap too, but the photographer shook a toy that made a loud noise that got her attention and we ended up with a great picture :)
Then later that evening (after a nap for all of us!) we went grocery shopping at Market Street. It was Emma's first time riding in the cart like a big girl instead of in her car seat, and she was so excited!
Emma tried squash for the first time last night! Here's the video clip of her 1st taste of it:
Here's yet another sleeping picture from last night...with what Colton calls "creepy eyes" haha!
Here's Emma and Raider this morning! I was feeding Emma her rice cereal for breakfast, and Raider decided he'd come get in line for a hand out as well :)
Emma taking a nap this morning
She is having so much fun with her bouncer these days! She can really jump in it! We will have to video tape her for the next blog :)
Smiling for the camera!
Emma & Paxton are still getting used to not being the only baby, but they are so cute together! They are very interested in each other. This afternoon they kept grabbing each other's hands, so cute! :)
Emma fell asleep in her swing while we were eating dinner. Then we woke her up to go on a walk (bad parents, "never wake a sleeping baby...", all that...we know)! :P
Like I said earlier, we have been going for walks after dinner! Emma was pretty sleepy tonight, and wasn't enjoying the bright sunshine like we were, but she still looks so darn cute :)
Emma & I have had our Easter pedicures! We (okay, I) decided on pale pink, since that's the color of Emma's Easter dress! Hopefully Emma won't chip her's as fast as she did her St. Patrick's Day pedicure!
Emma & Daddy had a lot of fun tonight! Here's a video clip of them playing together!
Emma tried bananas for the first time tonight! Here's the video clip:
Time for bed! Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
