Smiles

I thought I'd try and do smaller posts more frequently, rather than spend a few days trying to put a huge post together.

Emma has been smiling since she was about 4 weeks old. It amazed me when she first started doing it. At first I thought it might've been gas, but she would always do it on cue. Especially when I would talk sweet to her.

We almost got a giggle out of her the other day too. She has the sweetest little voice!

I've been having a hard time catching her smiles on camera. I'll have to get Mike to take a picture of her while I tell her how pretty she is (she loves to hear that!).



This picture makes me laugh. She was smiling, but at the angle I got it it looks like she is yelling at her toys!



I ordered a shirt and diaper set for Emma a couple months ago, and we finally got it in the mail! We absolutely love it! She looks like a little hippy baby ;)




Jesus was a cloth diapered, breast fed baby!



Look at this chunk!



We also just got our custom Nanipoo diaper in the mail. I got made in one of my favorite fabric prints: Goldfish in Bags. Unfortunately it has been discontinued, so the price of the fabric is ridiculous if you want to purchase it. So when I saw that she offered custom diapers in the fabric, I couldn't resist. She's even wearing a matching goldfish bow that I bought from Etsy!










Mike took some pictures of Jacob & Emma in our bay window. He was actually acting interested in his little sister. Most of the time he just pretends she doesn't exist :)












Jacob has become quite the little artist. He loves to sit up at the table and color. He'll sit up there for 45 minutes and just go to town.

Here's the prouct of markers and a snotty nose:



Jacob and Daddy love to go on nature walks in the backyard. Jacob loves it! They explore the yard and look at all the different bugs, plants, flowers, rocks, trees, dirt... you name it.
















I just celebrated another birthday. Mike is so good to me! He suprised me with a cake AND cupcakes, flowers, and a TV stand for the bedroom!! I was dying for one. I'd have to hang over the edge of the bed to be able to see it. Now I'm just looking forward to the day where I can lock myself in the bedroom, turn the TV on, and crochet in peace...

We also went out to dinner with Mandi, Stephen, and Genesis. Soon when we go out it will be a party of 8. Mandi's pregnant and due in December!

Anyway, afterwards we snapped our first family photo of the four of us.



I forgot to post a photo of Emma's first bath last time. It's her first nudie shot, and she sure did pose for it!



And last, here's a picture of Emma modeling another one of my hats.
