Emmy's new car seat!

Well this week was a good one except for one thing, Nana being in the hospital! I have been very worried about her all week. But now mom tells me she is okay. Anyway, This week Holly brought Madison over for a play date with Emmy and it was great to have her interacting with another baby her age. The played well together but Maddy is 2 months older and only a couple weeks preemie, so she is already walking and that makes Emmy want to walk too. She shared her toys so well and loved playing with another baby. It was so fun to watch. Also, my nephews down stairs are on school vacation this week so they have been up at our house a lot. Emmy loves when they come up because she plays with them while she is in her walker, lol, she chases them around the house in her walker. It's so fun for her. She is also getting a lot better at moving around in her walker, babies start off going backwards but now she is going frontwards too. She loves to stand up and walk instead of sitting down and just moving her feet. This week she also ate gerber puffs which are like cheerios but disolvable. I am one of those moms that thinks my kid is gonna choke on everything so those are great for me! lol. So, today she was supposed to have her appointment with Lisa but I canceled to go up to Mom's house today, her and Pat are going to Maine tomorrow, so I wanted to see them before they went up, not to mention get Emmy's car seat...he he! LOL. So when I left to go up there this morning I didn't have a good update on Nana and then when I got there mom told me she was doing better, so I was pretty relieved about that. However, we were both exausted from waking up so early...4am and driving up there so we ended up taking two naps. lol. One on the couch and one with Nana in her bed. It was fun though, I told mom I was stealing her and Pats bed, I think it was the most comfy bed I had ever slept in! About 4pm Louie came back to my moms and Emmy was so happy to see him! As usual! Soon after that Grammy came home with Chinese food and we had a great dinner. After that I fed Emmy her sweet potato's while Grammy held her. Emmy also spit them all over the couch and blanket! lmao. Thank God they had a sheet down to cover the couch!! So then Louie and I went out to install Em-boo's new car seat. I absolutely LOVE it. It's awesome. It's a brown and pink, safety first and she LOVES sitting frontwards in it. She loves being able to see Louie and I when shes in the car. So! Like I said, besides worrying about Nana this week was good. Well, I gotta go, Emmy needs to get to bed and my nephews are playing with Emmy's new tea pot set, it makes a pouring sound when you pretend to pour it out and they are "dumping it out" on my head! LOL. I am going to tell them they have to leave because now I am soaked with tea and have to change my clothes, HAHA!! Little buggers. Anyway, I'll update again soon!

Emmy's Second 1st Birthday!!

Hi everyone, Emmy's party went great. We had so much fun! Mom and Pat did so much and Louie and I are so appreciative! If they weren't there I don't think I would have seen the party at all! LOL The theme was Elmo, Emmy's favorite and so of course she wore her Elmo outfit! lol. She loves entertaining people so of course she had so much fun! She got lots of birthday presents from people and they were all awesome. I thought mom and Pat's gifts were seriously done and then they even bought her a car seat!! Louie and I couldn't believe it. I can't wait to install it! Emmy also enjoyed her cake! LOL She smushed it everywhere! Anyway, the party was great and we had a perfect turn out. These are the people who came:

Mom & Pat

Catching up...

Ok, So I have a lot of catching up to do. Haven't written in a while, sorry about that, but it's been pretty busy around here! I do have lots of pictures though! Ok so, last weekend Danielle came down to out house again and it was so much fun. She absolutely loves her niece. She brought Emmy down some birthday presents and she really enjoyed opening them! She loves the tissue wrapping paper. So when Danielle was here she cut my hair for me which was great cause it was WAY too long, so I feel relieved that it's finally chopped off! LOL Anyway, the presents Danielle bought were great, Emmy got a new Halo sleep sack, a pink sweater, a laugh & learn turtle that sings and counts, a crib wedge (you put it under the crib sheet, it elevates the top of the crib so it feels like a pillow, but since pillows aren't safe for Emmy yet that's what I wanted to use and it's awesome) and a light switch panel to match her room, it's so cute. I loved everything. Danielle is such a great aunt and Emmy loves her. So yes, Saturday was a blast. Then on Sunday we finally got out to the house! I was so glad to actually get some fresh air! LOL So that was good, but I keep telling Emmy, "two more pounds baby, two more, keep eating!!" Because she hates facing backwards in her car seat, but I can't turn her around to face front until she is 20 lbs. Then on Monday afternoon Emmy and I got a package from Auntie Charly with lots of cool stuff inside, she got a hand puppet of a kitty with a book attached, she loves it when I put my hand in and talk to her, lol. She also got a doll with a rattle inside, an adorable card with her cousins on the front and some more dough for her piggy bank! That was so nice of A.C. to send that to her. So then on Monday evening dad and Beth came to see us and we had a nice time visiting with them, dad made Emmy a chair in his shop, I will post pictures of it, it's so cute. She can't use it yet, but that will be her chair when she sits at the table by herself. Beth also brought her some more "Good Night" books to add to her collection. These books are so cute. It all started with of course Good Night Moon and then I had to have Good Night Boston! LOL. Then she got Good Night Cape Cod and now she has Good Night America, Lake, and Beach which are all autographed by the author. Oh and she also got some more c-notes for the piggy bank!! This girl has more cash then me! So then last night Louie and I were playing with Emmy on the living room floor and she is trying SO hard to crawl the regular way. She just can't get her legs and arms to stay up at the same time. She is almost there though!! Well, here are the pictures of the days I missed posting. Also, I know Nana will read this once she gets better and I want her to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers. Nana, you are a tough cookie and I know you're gonna get well soon! We love you!!!!!

Emmy's One Year Physical

Today was Emmy's 1 year check up. She is getting so big! She weighs 18 lbs. 2 oz. and is 28 inches tall! Her dr. said even though she is was a preemie (which means she basically 10 months) that she is in the 25th percentile for a normal 1 year old which is awesome. She is going off of her formula and going to drink whole milk now. She loved sitting on the table in the office. Ya know that paper they put down on it? Well by the time the doctor came in the room was in shambles! LOL I was like "sorry, my kid trashed the place" LOL. And then she had to get shots too! 3 of them ! She only cried while she was getting them, last time she didn't cry at all! But right before she got her shots I had to put her down in her carriage to get something out of my bag and I took some pictures of her, LOL.



See my toofers??


Nakey!


Just Chillin

Emmy's First Birthday!!

Emmy's 1st Birthday was great. Tonight we had Louie's family over for cake. Mom and Dad were going to come too, but they both got too much snow. We got some here too and Louie's brothers came but his mom and dad couldn't drive in this weather. We still had fun though! I make my own 2 cakes, a heart shaped vanilla one and a regular chocolate one. My niece Catarina who is a great artist wrote "emmy" on the cake for me cause I always mess it up, lol. Well, here are the pictures, and remember you can click on them to make them bigger. Enjoy!
