Emma @ 5 months

~weighs 13 lbs 13 ounces

~24 1/4" in length

~loves to laugh

 scream in laughter

 jump in her jumperoo

 sit up

say mama

suck her thumb

and stand up (with support) 

                                                     Don't look at the actual video just listen! 

She has come a long way after the 1st 3 months of life dealing with lots of tummy issues, a UTI and RSV but has turned into one of the happiest lovable babies I've even known! I adore spending all day everyday with this little beauty!  

She isn't crawling yet but know it's only weeks away

Red scissors

Okay so I let Kelsee stay up later then the other kids usually and this particular night she stayed up way too late due to my phone call with my sister in law speaking about wedding plans (we all can get chatty about weddings right?) as I'm coming to the end of my conversation she curls up on the couch next to me with a blanket covering most of her head (I thought nothing of it) and falls asleep. As I take her upstairs and put her into bed I notice scissors and some barbies with a little clipped hair and think to myself what the heck she brought scissors up here and cut some barbie hair?!?  

Then I walk into the loft to turn off the T.V. and notice there's TONS and TONS of hair everywhere! 

Rapunzel got it the worse 

then I notice some hair that looks almost human!?! 

OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!! OH NO NO NO!

YES SHE DID! 

I didn't get the picture before I fixed it I was so upset crying like a little baby, but I got the "story" from her that she wanted to look like Rapunzel at the end of tangled! Those gosh darn writers putting that in these lil girls' heads!

I measured almost 10 inches she cut off! 

too hot already

It's the 1st week of May and were already playing in the sprinkles here in Arizona

My lil fish

Earth day

                                                             What are we doing mom?

After this long day mommy decided to start her garden finally!

Before church we all got up and the girl's found bubbles, jump ropes swimsuits, and a chocolate bunny in the baskets...

We don't push the "Easter bunny" but a good egg hunt before church is always good

hmmmm not sure about this mom

bottle feeding 2 weeks and can already hold her bottle

keeping it in the family

My husband Ty was adopted at birth and was given a blanket from his adoptive mom... He has used it his whole life and even while we were dating I noticed it (no wonder he wasn't married sooner lol). Well Emma being his 1st "baby" he said it would be her's so here she is with this blanket given to her daddy from her deceased grandmother who was also his best friend. A moment to cherish forever!

Testimony Sunday

Testimony Sunday falls on the 1st Sunday of the month and this month is the 1st month since Kaylee has been baptized and she decided she'd go up to the podium and bare her's... little did she know there would be 2 adult's that would take over 15 minutes each to bare there's (telling story's she say's) and she wouldn't have time to bare her's. This left her bummed until she was asked to give a talk the following week in her primary and could bare it then instead (smile ear to ear).

On this day one of her teacher's told the class if they bared there testimony the following testimony Sunday she would give them a doughnut (Kaylee was already planning to go up). The next one actually fell on the last Sunday in March because of conference and Kaylee told me before church she was going to get up 1st so she would be able to be heard this time but........ about 10 other primary kids popped up and all walked up the same time as she did. Kaylee was the last kid in the group of kiddos to go.

About 10 till Kloee (5) decided she wanted to go up as well!!! That melted my heart even more (Kaylee went with to help her).

Then we get home and I'm making dinner and I hear "id like to bare my testimony" about 3 or 4 times from Kelsee (3) so I go in the room she's at and she's standing on a stool with Kaylee's shoes on and a tiny bible looking at herself in the mirror saying this! how stinking cute! I was able to get this picture of her and can't wait till she go's to the podium.
