Just in Time!

Hallelujah! 4 months later & today we are FINALLY finished with Emily's DOC Band. Dare I say, I'm a little nostalgic???

And, icing on the cake...I finished Emmi's baby book last weekend. I've been putting in some serious late night hours on that thing after she goes to bed. What will I do with all that time now?!?

We also treated ourselves to a new camera for Emmi's upcoming birthday. I love, love, love how much quicker it is than our old one. It takes an instant photo - no delay. Now we can capture those cute little expressions & fun action shots so much better. Below are a few "tester" pictures from her bath this week.

I think it's safe to say that now we're ready to party!!!

One week to go...

...and we'll be parents of a 1 year old!?! Here are a few recent (and a little random) shots of Em enjoying the last few days of her 1st year. She just seems to have grown so much over the last month!

Enjoying Dad's day off with a trip to the zoo. I know it doesn't look much like the zoo...we were waiting for the bird show to start :)

11 Months Old

I can hardly believe we have an 11 month old! I think I say that every month. We thought we'd include pictures of Emily doing one of her favorite things...clapping! She claps whenever she's excited...when she sees a dog, when she sees dad at the end of the day, when she hears music...the list goes on.

Then, I tried to get a picture of her with her favorite little friend, Dog Dog, but she decided to crawl off the chair instead. I guess she had things to do. Ok - photo shoot over :)
