Happy Birthday to me...

Yes, it's my birthday and we just got back from dinner out at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Asia. We invited Scott, Dave's brother, ate lots of yummy sushi and as promised I am now sitting down to post more pictures of Miss Emma. I've got tons of new pictures so you're all in for a real treat. I just can't stop, she's too cute not to capture on film!

We started the day with a heart melting moment: daddy and Emma asleep in the big bed:

I just think it's the cutest thing ever! What a doll! And for daddy to be all snuggled up next to her, what a vision! If you're a mom I'm sure you appreciate moments like these captured on camera.


Here's mommy and Emma tonight after dinner:


I say this often, but she is growing right before our eyes. I can hardly believe how big she is and each day something new happens that makes us so proud to be her mommy and daddy. Like Friday, she was having belly time with Dave on our bed and she started leaning to one side. Next thing we knew, she was on her back with streams of tears running down her face. She was terrified at what she had done, but we just smiled. Our wee one had just rolled herself over. Today we tried again and if a still picture can do it justice, this is Emma rolling herself over again:
She's on her Rainforest play mat, which she loves. She's really taken to looking at all the animals and blinking lights. Cooper loves to get right down there with her sometimes and together they may catch an episode or two of Oprah:

Yes, they are both looking at the TV, which is to the left in that picture. How cute is that!!!!

We have tummy time every day now and Emma is doing really well at keeping her head up. She's so proud of herself.


It's pretty exhausting on your tummy , so, she relaxes on her mini Bobby afterward and lets out a few good smiles...

We had a bath this morning, which was much needed after she peed on herself :) She really likes baths now, but getting dressed afterward is way more fun!


Grammy has been a big help to us and she's especially good at getting all the burps out, thanks Grammy!


After a good burping we're back to smiling again!


And, last but not least, here's Miss Emma in her new vibrating rocker that Uncle Scott gave her. She just loves it!

Well, I'm off for some quality family time. Daddy and Emma are patiently waiting for me while I caught you all up on her toothless grins and daily activities. It's been the most wonderful birthday and I am so very lucky to get to share it with my husband and precious baby girl.
