Your First Christmas

Merry 1st Christmas Emma!  What a joy it is to share your first Chritmas with you!  I still can't believe you're here and I can't believe all the blessings that we have received.  I can't wait to share with you the Christmas birth story of Christ. 

Here is one of the pictures of you and Santa.  Grandpa Grandy, mommy, and daddy took you for this one.

Too cute for words!!!  Here's a couple of pics of you from this morning.  You have no clue what is going on, but I have a feeling you will next year!  :)  Can't wait to see that!

You seemed to like this little toy you got.   

We also received our first snow that was 10 inches!!!!  We haven't had this since the 80's, or so I am told.  What else did you bring with you Emma?  We also were without electricity, so no fancy Christmas dinner.  We struggled with what to do, what was right, and so forth.  We were on our way to stay at your Great Nanny's and Great Poppa because they had electricity at that point.  We had almost made it to the freeway, and notice the local businesses were getting power back on.  So we headed back home and we had power!  Such a lovely sight!  We decided to have pizza since it was late.  Wow Emma!  Welcome to your first Christmas!

Love, Gigi

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Tonight I was cutting coupons and I could hear you in your mom's room.  Each time I heard you I thought you were getting ready to cry.  Usually you make little noise when you talk to us, and that's why I thought you were tuning up to cry.  WRONG!!

Emma you have discovered your voice and realize you can make LOTS of noise!  You sounded so cute and adorable.  I had to note this for you so you will know how old you were.  :)

Love, Gigi

3 Months Old

Emma, Emma, you're 3 months old today!!!  You are getting to be such a fun girl!  You constantly smile, you love watching the ceiling fans, lights on the Christmas tree, and cooing.  You have discovered your hands.  They are constantly in your mouth and you drool like crazy.  In the picture below, I had a hard time getting because you discovered your feet.  You are so much fun right now.  We recently put in you a bouncy walker and you absolutely love it.  It's fun watching you learn new things.  When your mommy walks up to you, you light up with the biggest smile for her.  I know you love your mommy.  She's such a good mommy to you.  I'm excited to see what you'll do in the next month!  We won't have stats for you until your 4 month check up.  Of course Christmas is coming and I'm so excited to share this holiday with you!  Your first Christmas!

You have gotten a little bigger since your last picture at 2 months.......  :)



Oh Emma, you bring so much joy to my life!

Love, Gigi

Feet!

While Gigi was taking your picture for 3 months, you discovered your feet!  I kept trying to set you up and you wanted to keep looking at your feet.  I love watching you discover new things.  So much fun!

Also, you love your jump a roo.  You have discovered the toy that spins and makes lots of noise!  You're getting to be such a big girl!

Love, Gigi

Simply Sweet

We were coming up in the elevator and I couldn't resist taking a cute picture of you with your bow.  No other words are needed.  :)

Love, Gigi

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today was your first Thanksgiving!  While I was busy cooking and preparing the meal for everyone, I decided to put you in your bumbo seat.  I love this sweet picture of you holding the big spoon I gave you.  You usually like to sit in the bumbo or your bouncer while I cook. 

You're getting so big!  This year you weren't able to eat, but next year, you'll get to sample a little.  You'll be a little over a year old.  WOW!

Happy Thanksgiving little one!  Here's to many more!

Love, Gigi

Road Trip!!

Emma, you took your first road trip with us.  You were so good on the way down to Gulf Shores.  :)

Gigi Driving

You either slept or ate on the way down.



Here is your mommy on the road trip.

And your two aunts, Harley & Ashley.

My favorite picture from the road trip, is when we stopped to grab some lunch from Whataburger.  I kept trying to get a picture of you smiling, because you were in such a good mood!  This was as good as I could get.

"Mom, I'm tired of looking at Gigi with the camera!"

Ha ha!  Too cute!

You did so good Emma on the ride down.  I just pray you do the same on the way back.  :)

Love, Gigi
