Emily's Got Peeps!

Emily has definitely taken after her Mommy in one area...she likes to GO! We have a lot of fun together in the day while Daddy is at work. Sometimes we go places and sometimes people come to play at our house, but either way Emily loves to visit with people! She loves to show off her newest skills and sometimes admire the skills of those younger than her, as depicted in this picture! She is excited to see Eliza is laying on her tummy and holding her head up so well!


As summer is coming in full force here in VA, another thing Emily really enjoys is the pool! This was Emily's 1st time in an actual baby pool, as most of you know she quite enjoys buckets and tubs! But she seemed really impressed with the pool too! Plus, she and Eliza enjoyed having a little time so that they could relax and talk about life!! What cute cousins they are!!



After the talking was over they decided to look around and they found out they were sitting in water!! Who knew??
Emily also has a good friend that lives about 5 minutes away... Jenkin. They love to get together and play! They are both fascinated with each other! They like going for walks with their mommies and they like playing on the blanket together. And I found out today that they even enjoy having story time together!!

A Close-Up after she is ready for the day!

This was taken just after Emily woke up and found out Jenkin was over! She was a little shocked at first, but she warmed up to the idea pretty quickly!

Later in the day, we had a great visit from one of my sweet Visiting Teachers, and Emily and I love it because she gets to bring her 3 little kids with her when she comes! I think Emily has a best friend and a great role model already!! We are so blessed! Thanks Lexie, we love you guys!

That night we got to go visit with my Dad and Step Mom, and my sister and her little girl were there! So Emily got some more fun cousin time in! Life is so great! Avery loves Emily SO MUCH! She just can't get enough of her. I think Avery thinks that Emily is her very own life sized doll baby! And I absolutely love that she calls her "Emmy"!

"Kisses?"

"No Thanks! But hey, I still love you!"

We also got to go up to NOVA this past weekend. I had everything all packed - I don't think I have ever had the diaper bag more perfectly packed...EVER - and when Micah got off we had some dinner and we were off! The trip up to NOVA was great, Emily was cooperative, traffic was not too bad. But as soon as we pulled into Nathan and Sarah's I realized I FORGOT to put the diaper bag in the car!! I could not believe it, plus I had just placed our first order on diapers.com and was excited that I had saved us so much money, because we had a coupon for $10 off plus free shipping! But that saved money went out the window when we had to head out to the store that night to buy diapers, wipes and formula that was in our diaper bag back in Ruckersville!! And the other down side was that our camera was at home in the diaper bag, which means no pictures from our adventures in NOVA this time around! But that's okay, because at least we learned that lesson early on, and from now on I will be sure to double check for the diaper bag before heading out on any overnight adventures! Life is wonderful, enjoy every amazing adventure, even if you forget the diaper bag along the way!!
