You won't believe everything. <div><br /></div><div>NEWS FLASH #1: Emma is walking.</div><div>That's right, folks. At about nine and a half months old she took her first step. Now at over 10 months old, the kid never stops. seriously. never. If she's awake, she's moving. Hmm...takes after her dad, I believe. I hope to get a video posted of that this weekend, too.</div><div><br /></div><div>NEWS FLASH #2: Emma has more teeth.</div><div>After much hard labor, whining, drooling and general fussiness over the past few weeks, Emma has broken her top two teeth. Oh, and SHE was in no great mood either. They were a tough few weeks, but she was a trooper and we got through it. Such a tough kid. The teeth are not all the way down yet, but finally have broken the skin. Four down, too many more to go.</div><div><br /></div><div>NEWS FLASH #3: Emma laughs...and laughs...and laughs.</div><div>seriously. again. the little stand-up/walking comic spends *most* of her waking moments giggling, laughing, and sometimes all out belly laughing -- at herself. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. She thinks she is funny stuff. It's so cute, and makes us laugh, but she'll laugh at herself eating, walking, dancing, etc. That brings me to...</div><div><br /></div><div>NEWS FLASH #4: Emma likes to boogie.</div><div>It's really a new style of dance she's started...it's all the rage in our house. You can join in, too. Here's a few easy to follow steps. 1) stand bowlegged holding on to something for support; 2) shake head vigorously from side to side, like a dog shaking off after a swim; 3) bounce while bending at the knees ever so slightly until you... 4) start laughing so hard you plop down on your behind. Tip: step four is easier when wearing a padded diaper.</div><div><br /></div><div>And finally,</div><div>NEWS FLASH #5: Emma is getting married.</div><div>Well, not quite. But today at work (the church) I came across a roster for the one-year-olds class and saw Emma's name at the bottom. She's officially part of her first "class"...which means she might as well be starting school...ergo she might as well be driving...meaning she's all but married and out of the house. Oh dear me.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, there's your up-to-the-minute updates on Miss Emma. Plans are feverishly in the works for Birthday Bash '09 - so watch for details coming soon. And, as promised, I'll work on those photos and video ASAP.</div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077117244904369245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281465023476751978.post-43200369840044912932009-07-05T18:09:00.000-07:002009-07-05T18:30:37.165-07:00Happy Fourth! (And 9 Months)We took our first road trip with Emma this weekend to visit our good friends Jennifer and Tim and their boys Jaden and Dillon, who live in the mountains of North Carolina near where I went to college. We had a BLAST! Emma did wonderfully, other than keeping her serious face on almost the whole weekend (she does that lately with new people, situations, etc.) . Friday was also her 9 month birthday. Here are some photos from this great vacation. They are kind of out of order - but you'll get the idea. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaIuIHOAv926VpASEAGyRW-QhpfCX5sfFvMY3yL4u1mVWWEfJZQtaf6z80a1g9xzWjH4tSr7kocPGXWDnmslpFZv4GBvpM91sZuY1BFQY-aUcltXC4KbUeY5_UeJEAJOha-NiTm16b7k/s1600-h/S8000304.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Emma and Dillon - Cute couple, right? :)<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaIuIHOAv926VpASEAGyRW-QhpfCX5sfFvMY3yL4u1mVWWEfJZQtaf6z80a1g9xzWjH4tSr7kocPGXWDnmslpFZv4GBvpM91sZuY1BFQY-aUcltXC4KbUeY5_UeJEAJOha-NiTm16b7k/s1600-h/S8000304.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaIuIHOAv926VpASEAGyRW-QhpfCX5sfFvMY3yL4u1mVWWEfJZQtaf6z80a1g9xzWjH4tSr7kocPGXWDnmslpFZv4GBvpM91sZuY1BFQY-aUcltXC4KbUeY5_UeJEAJOha-NiTm16b7k/s320/S8000304.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355151198911009010" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">With Jen's dad Scott, giving her serious face.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC6iejlct1_O_0L6DUN842D8HOFB9D9rvC63FDP8cCsg2_Xi6imfdKmiF4V5X7aJ_ko_4CE9NKeAwkxxgFczxUsSrO96HVark5dZd5R-UsLI7VwC4pvysWoCKAZGnca-47sSkuXZ7iLs/s1600-h/S8000302.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC6iejlct1_O_0L6DUN842D8HOFB9D9rvC63FDP8cCsg2_Xi6imfdKmiF4V5X7aJ_ko_4CE9NKeAwkxxgFczxUsSrO96HVark5dZd5R-UsLI7VwC4pvysWoCKAZGnca-47sSkuXZ7iLs/s320/S8000302.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355151195728403170" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Naked baby picture.

Most of this post will be about Eric and Emma's first Father's Day. Followed by LOTS and LOTS of photos of little Miss E.<br /><br />So Eric's first Father's Day was wonderful. We all went to church then took daddy out to lunch before he had to go off to work (pooh!). After a much deserved nap, Emma and I drove down to Asheboro to go to dinner with Paw-Paw and Eric' family. It was a lot of fun! The special part of the day came when Emma gave her daddy the present she made.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDnxHdeMdUvfsTnYEE9TEt40XCh30zUudqZ0yC4uvvcbTXGuMVOcUcyotWLsqux-FJOkTIIHCwK-zZQlqLsyOau7bBf5ACdIHQGxCm2JJk0FlU6qUOi08ftht6NjRxOhu1rEQcdlqZrI/s1600-h/S8000244.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDnxHdeMdUvfsTnYEE9TEt40XCh30zUudqZ0yC4uvvcbTXGuMVOcUcyotWLsqux-FJOkTIIHCwK-zZQlqLsyOau7bBf5ACdIHQGxCm2JJk0FlU6qUOi08ftht6NjRxOhu1rEQcdlqZrI/s320/S8000244.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351072491812757970" border="0" /></a>This original artwork was made with her hand and foot prints on a canvas we can hang somewhere in the house.

He was a healthy 7lb. 2oz. and 20.5 inches long - and looks like a perfect mix of his mom and dad. Emma is preparing all of her big-cousin advice to <div>share with Grayson once he comes home. :) Here are some pictures. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wRIONtgzaduMp0ZscQqp5O5vR0UqzckzG1YNOS1eDC9YPBJYJY6vx9-qufxebZMd1X5A85zxAqRNlVv1TxlJqtetDOIviSbu-C9Z3Rc7pBquPUWovauOe_Sg7XPtFQNnvABLHoKcoYc/s1600-h/grayson5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wRIONtgzaduMp0ZscQqp5O5vR0UqzckzG1YNOS1eDC9YPBJYJY6vx9-qufxebZMd1X5A85zxAqRNlVv1TxlJqtetDOIviSbu-C9Z3Rc7pBquPUWovauOe_Sg7XPtFQNnvABLHoKcoYc/s320/grayson5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344943427490850194" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><div><div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicoTjYyLdOGWjMBHpKAT-Nv7QndqOJGFJFlIYJxEOY1nC_8UrFNKQEhRuL48Gqs2brOOdmQQEjKm5YGS2RQa7nTSdl4JFvTeL8EsFSaLR7B-bwKJFIphnsRZAMwMEExj3_Ncsnn988gtE/s1600-h/grayson4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicoTjYyLdOGWjMBHpKAT-Nv7QndqOJGFJFlIYJxEOY1nC_8UrFNKQEhRuL48Gqs2brOOdmQQEjKm5YGS2RQa7nTSdl4JFvTeL8EsFSaLR7B-bwKJFIphnsRZAMwMEExj3_Ncsnn988gtE/s320/grayson4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344943422119225266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-1P8EZlnpliNPEU2fiZkrSqPbd4hGaQrwRF25adFOBiZ3MfEQaKGic5fNwS3Mg3wLCto3-pbKdYUMbiMXHuXXJTWAPBMAi5vJDJKdWjfuR5KjdyIITa1KWAEoZBLSqLK2vpB1wYQpAK8/s1600-h/grayson3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-1P8EZlnpliNPEU2fiZkrSqPbd4hGaQrwRF25adFOBiZ3MfEQaKGic5fNwS3Mg3wLCto3-pbKdYUMbiMXHuXXJTWAPBMAi5vJDJKdWjfuR5KjdyIITa1KWAEoZBLSqLK2vpB1wYQpAK8/s320/grayson3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344943420032662098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-Oorc2-Dz98mGBBpLS5kX_dVAqNhgIsP1zWlJDdHFpzheGBU8fkmMEoCQAn_eoWJ_xO8vPVPenzmfGbWFa3OGnjiEU7crzapQEx5fiup9O0apqep4IwPM6kiBneqGQQrziuGJfXG4uk/s1600-h/grayson2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-Oorc2-Dz98mGBBpLS5kX_dVAqNhgIsP1zWlJDdHFpzheGBU8fkmMEoCQAn_eoWJ_xO8vPVPenzmfGbWFa3OGnjiEU7crzapQEx5fiup9O0apqep4IwPM6kiBneqGQQrziuGJfXG4uk/s320/grayson2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344943420424580226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPmZsmnJ4T5Sb2UI_RGx1JAbe_VMmfCk-ukGtbUud1j8RYSel-Ljr9tAahZpOuuYRmsK78cC83UxQVVxf0MT3mJ72eJkolDzx-_PrpMRpUece-j7ZbCesqJV8cp-dDCdctFPfC2pS-E8/s1600-h/grayson1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPmZsmnJ4T5Sb2UI_RGx1JAbe_VMmfCk-ukGtbUud1j8RYSel-Ljr9tAahZpOuuYRmsK78cC83UxQVVxf0MT3mJ72eJkolDzx-_PrpMRpUece-j7ZbCesqJV8cp-dDCdctFPfC2pS-E8/s320/grayson1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344943414108659426" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077117244904369245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281465023476751978.post-5456177977931714712009-06-05T18:44:00.000-07:002009-06-05T18:45:41.155-07:00Local CelebrityMiss Emma is starting to have a following here in the Triad.

Wow, where has the time gone? Now we are waiting for baby Grayson's arrival (my sister's first baby) just next week. There's a lot to update you on Emma. Hang on, here we go! <div><br /></div><div>She's still battling ear infections. This last round had a sore throat thrown in for fun...and when I say fun I mean torture - for us all. She's much better now, but we've got to get these ears under control. Tubes are in the future, but Dr. O'Kelley would like to see how the summer goes first.</div><div><br /></div><div>We've got two BIG NEWS items. First, Emma is the proud owner of two brand new pearly whites! She's worked so hard for them and now two little teeth have finally poked out...her bottom center teeth. So fun and it makes her look like such a little girl. (Kind of sad for mom.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Secondly, Emma is now independently mobile. That's right...we've got a crawler. And let me tell you, if she's awake, she's on the move! The kid is amazing. And, to add to the festivities, little miss over-achiever is now also standing. I think she just might walk early like I did (9 months). </div><div><br /></div><div>And finally, here are some recent pictures (the one standing up was just taken tonight). I like to call the following "8 Months at a Glance."</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you look real close at this one, you can see a tooth (click on picture to make bigger).</div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9i_qf__RydGqdCOy4-ah7KGQ8uH2HRlyk25Evsmk9f4FKWeli7xBoxh2JX8Yc56BQZYIaZV-H_9eYpl2bF6GfMlIQ0WPVOZQcf_vqItzIgd33eORuxH3z2ghTaPNNx_kqDgMOhZKpz4/s1600-h/S8000240.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9i_qf__RydGqdCOy4-ah7KGQ8uH2HRlyk25Evsmk9f4FKWeli7xBoxh2JX8Yc56BQZYIaZV-H_9eYpl2bF6GfMlIQ0WPVOZQcf_vqItzIgd33eORuxH3z2ghTaPNNx_kqDgMOhZKpz4/s320/S8000240.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343642517440170546" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is her far-away-look model pose. :)</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00WcNvdWusyAAj2CFIxvzqw0KAQoLxujhKBSwIFT9E74BqhDFXUWYcdO_VEtHzorOREuk9u7CzyXs8w3Vp-HtuGjHRRS5PhxHBsKrr7XIDTnDSGh0VLaWuWxi36Ha45Uw_JAMfvNnLCE/s1600-h/S8000181.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00WcNvdWusyAAj2CFIxvzqw0KAQoLxujhKBSwIFT9E74BqhDFXUWYcdO_VEtHzorOREuk9u7CzyXs8w3Vp-HtuGjHRRS5PhxHBsKrr7XIDTnDSGh0VLaWuWxi36Ha45Uw_JAMfvNnLCE/s320/S8000181.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343642511976462706" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Doesn't this face just make you smile?</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTjd7rztnZGBd6C1ohMTOYwGNeXSjHyCjxzJmaNbyIrGgZvS6J2tSDP1qOhg9GbaRgxKi2Nr64jwRY7mT7CYkgUroxvMT2xnmSO89_5Wn6xCem5DrGSBrI1RTYkNCKbiEPphmwqAngDg/s1600-h/S8000219.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTjd7rztnZGBd6C1ohMTOYwGNeXSjHyCjxzJmaNbyIrGgZvS6J2tSDP1qOhg9GbaRgxKi2Nr64jwRY7mT7CYkgUroxvMT2xnmSO89_5Wn6xCem5DrGSBrI1RTYkNCKbiEPphmwqAngDg/s320/S8000219.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343641669493659890" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was at the doctor's over the weekend...she's a trooper, isn't she?</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtTT12vMMGI5uAmus0RicjeJo_5SZHiWbfHz98kgxGIY6BqhCucwjPVQ2wrnq8t6DPLrsjQh-yoYfgqq_lFp8mcAT7jIFQMXBNouLg_UdxgrmO5gtlMChDxdsSlYWDpdOBXl2DvMk6CM/s1600-h/S8000222.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtTT12vMMGI5uAmus0RicjeJo_5SZHiWbfHz98kgxGIY6BqhCucwjPVQ2wrnq8t6DPLrsjQh-yoYfgqq_lFp8mcAT7jIFQMXBNouLg_UdxgrmO5gtlMChDxdsSlYWDpdOBXl2DvMk6CM/s320/S8000222.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343641666291782338" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Her new friend, Grandpa Sid.

In addition to wonderful, do-able crafts, Ashley does bunches of giveaways for fun items. This week is especially fun! Check it out <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2009/05/are-you-ready-for-another-sponsor-and.html">here</a> and cross your fingers for me!

Here's what I came up with. Both ideas came from <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/">Make It and Love It</a> which has some super great ideas. She has a lot of sewing projects, but I don't sew, so here are a few I could actually tackle.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fabric Covered Frames:</span><br />(original idea for cork board, click <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2009/01/cork-board.html">here</a>)<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6yut4OFCTNYd3T0cE_baolYK0QCnQn6jdKQFHfRalRz_R0i4Zty2J5lqnwwwGaDS2j1mIGb9FW_ObUcMgYKNJ24E1VqbuBbIcq4KnvsoNISiLrNOKeb3FEVEyZO4Mo3VNmap9aWff_U/s1600-h/S8000142.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6yut4OFCTNYd3T0cE_baolYK0QCnQn6jdKQFHfRalRz_R0i4Zty2J5lqnwwwGaDS2j1mIGb9FW_ObUcMgYKNJ24E1VqbuBbIcq4KnvsoNISiLrNOKeb3FEVEyZO4Mo3VNmap9aWff_U/s320/S8000142.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332100162294833330" border="0" /></a>I didn't do cork board, but for actual photo frames. I also changed it up by using double sided tape that works with fabric. My edges are not perfectly crisp, but you can't tell that unless you look really closely. And, to finish the back off and cover up rough edges of fabric, I used peel-n-stick black felt. Worked nicely. I made these as Mother's Day gifts for two friends I met through our birthing class...shhh...don't tell!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pin Cushion:</span><br />(original idea, click <a href="http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2009/02/pin-cushion.html">here</a>)<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlXK3EDJ9XDbaOo_6FTpjXNtwjcC305FyoC-h71MSyZ1yOTXm4zWQdZNV57EEXMhWAK3yYMZ0LcFlliDHWiXhK8rMCMSd3WpJIp-FXeD53oRiR6-rFhLe63cwT1aFozqXNWq4dR2MrcA/s1600-h/S8000143.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlXK3EDJ9XDbaOo_6FTpjXNtwjcC305FyoC-h71MSyZ1yOTXm4zWQdZNV57EEXMhWAK3yYMZ0LcFlliDHWiXhK8rMCMSd3WpJIp-FXeD53oRiR6-rFhLe63cwT1aFozqXNWq4dR2MrcA/s320/S8000143.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332100167057851730" border="0" /></a>I LOVED this idea for a Mother's Day gift for a good friend who quilts. (Sorry photo is blurry.) I had several quilting squares I hand-sewed several YEARS ago that never got to the final stages so thought one would be perfect for this. I also opted for a round $1 ceramic ramekin from Wal-Mart. The original idea calls for a square container. That might have been easier. I had trouble figuring out how to close it up an maintain smooth rounded top, so (thanks to my husband's brilliant mind) I stuffed the fabric as a ball (underside looks all sorts of messy) beforehand. Then I lined the bottom and sides of the ramekin with hot glue and just set the ball firmly down inside - worked GREAT! Then I added a little ribbon. Hope she likes it!Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077117244904369245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281465023476751978.post-17526127159242106602009-04-22T15:37:00.000-07:002009-04-22T16:08:23.457-07:00Emma's First Play DateLast weekend Emma and I met two other mommies and babies from our birthing class. Megan and Elle, and Ressie and Brayden. We went out to lunch first, where we ate on the patio and listened to a band play. It was great and Emma was an angel. I think she loved the music and watching all the other people. She even held hands with Brayden! Then we went to the park and walked with the kiddies in their strollers. It was gorgeous weather, a bit warm, but so nice to be out. Here's a few pictures of our fun day out.<br /><br />Emma's new friend Elle:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjldeYI5bX72GEkCO3dZFFhdvv0p7tY2AmSdqf9hFJYzye66qYMtjw1Dt8WcocyipA4G91FrPk_a2SI1ios5eoKLt4Pk3LuejJdjHH9L89RbK6AOpfAGREoKCtLm0LQ1gLSex4hsDGy9Bg/s1600-h/playdate3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjldeYI5bX72GEkCO3dZFFhdvv0p7tY2AmSdqf9hFJYzye66qYMtjw1Dt8WcocyipA4G91FrPk_a2SI1ios5eoKLt4Pk3LuejJdjHH9L89RbK6AOpfAGREoKCtLm0LQ1gLSex4hsDGy9Bg/s320/playdate3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327655654380506802" border="0" /></a><br />Emma's new friend Brayden:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMyiQzApBuDyIS4Bv6CXh5A2uUbSx4ohd3beO9uaHmmtfuCart5HyiVd_Yu_pXtIHl4JBVGNAtmQESU2pEyVkcnoSpJKfaGFY8yrb6h6Wd1RaRkdR02LaeJp8CT3OT-vPaWR7CJ1cA9s/s1600-h/playdate2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMyiQzApBuDyIS4Bv6CXh5A2uUbSx4ohd3beO9uaHmmtfuCart5HyiVd_Yu_pXtIHl4JBVGNAtmQESU2pEyVkcnoSpJKfaGFY8yrb6h6Wd1RaRkdR02LaeJp8CT3OT-vPaWR7CJ1cA9s/s320/playdate2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327655656915065442" border="0" /></a><br />All of us on our playdate!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjk8Fj14f1zcZRMG2QsjaRWIkHpmmgClywu79w_sX4-l_aTtR9HBj56rr5CZkGrgHCtFw5DDKs75HcxTruyQhd4HzljHs3DJw9saRDz8nL-GpNlWSaYQEHVrXtK6Xa8a6d-01-t6ghD0/s1600-h/playdate1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjk8Fj14f1zcZRMG2QsjaRWIkHpmmgClywu79w_sX4-l_aTtR9HBj56rr5CZkGrgHCtFw5DDKs75HcxTruyQhd4HzljHs3DJw9saRDz8nL-GpNlWSaYQEHVrXtK6Xa8a6d-01-t6ghD0/s320/playdate1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327655652497016882" border="0" /></a>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077117244904369245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281465023476751978.post-35290568039246427632009-04-15T06:18:00.000-07:002009-04-15T11:29:28.801-07:00The Up and Down Obsession of BabyI was talking with Cyndi, my sister who is very close to having her first baby, about how easy it is to become obsessed with your baby. Especially when she is as cute as mine happens to be. I follow other blogs of mommies and friends who I have a feeling can relate. <div><br /></div><div>It all starts that first time you hear the precious first cry and touch her cotton-soft skin. The first time she opens her eyes to the new world around her and finds your loving eyes starting back at her. And the obsession begins. But before long you're obsessing over feedings, types of cries, sleep patterns, skin blemishes, color of snot, odor/frequency/color of poop, and rate of motor skill development.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then one day she smiles at you for the first time and you melt all over again. You are in awe over her super-baby intelligence to figure out how to stick her toes in her mouth. You brag to your friends and family over her newfound ability to say "da-da." (OK, so she says that to the cat, the tv, in the bathtub, while playing in the car, looking at her blocks, and as she does a summersault while attempting to lunge for her teething ring....but I'm sure she's thinking of her father in every case.) So the obsession continues.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, there are things that help keep the obsession in check. When she begins pulling on your hair, shirt, earrings, and bottom lip while feeding you wonder if there's a way to momentarily paralyze her hands. And when she twists toward the wall and sticks her naked, sticky hiney into the air during a diaper change or stiffens her legs when trying to manipulate her into her pajamas...her cuteness subsides momentarily. That helps with the obsession.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yet, all of that is followed by a sweet, sloppy and wet, wide open "sugar" (what we call kisses). Or she'll spray particles of green peas everywhere when she laughs at a funny face you make during dinner time. Or she'll double over with a big ol' belly laugh at the camera when you try to take her picture. And the obsession continues.</div><div><br /></div><div>I dedicate this post to all the other mommies out there who can relate to the up-and-down obsession we have with our kiddies. Especially the following fellow mommy bloggers who have helped give me an outlet to laugh, cry and plain hang in there with the rest of 'em!</div><div><ul><li>My sister, Cyndi at <a href="http://babybrowningsjourney.blogspot.com/">"Baby Browning's Journey"</a><br /></li><li>Kaycee at <a href="http://lifeasamomat21.blogspot.com/">"Life As a Mom at 21"</a></li><li>Jennifer at <a href="http://jenniferandcarlos.blogspot.com/">"New Home, New Baby"</a></li><li>Nicki at <a href="http://la-familia-jimenez.blogspot.com/">"La Familia Jimenez"</a></li><li>Michelle at <a href="http://michellesjournalcorner.blogspot.com/">"Her Cup Overfloweth"</a><br /></li></ul>This roller coaster life of a mom might be tough at times, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything. Not even for a week long vacation to Hawaii with just me and the hubs...probably....maybe...most definitely not. :) </div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07077117244904369245noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281465023476751978.post-61886599518044333252009-04-14T15:44:00.000-07:002009-04-14T15:54:45.055-07:00Easter Day and Fashion StatementHere are some photos of Emma from Easter day.

Good news is, she is up to 25 inches long and 15lbs 12oz and the doctor was very pleased with her progress and said all looks great. All, that is, except her ears which were both INFECTED! We were absolutely shocked. She didn't have any symptoms and had not been extra fussy or anything. Poor kid.<br /><br />To top that, she got three shots and is dealing with her first case of diaper rash (thanks to a little bit of diarrhea that might have something to do with the ear infections). She was about as pitiful as one kid can get tonight. I think it was the shots mostly, which gave her a low grade fever. The same thing happened with her last round of shots. I feel funny saying so, but the up side to her not feeling well is that the cuteness factor is HIGH! She cuddles so close, nuzzles into your neck...and tonight she nearly fell asleep on her changing pad while we got her ready for bed. Usually she fights getting dressed for bed because she's so ready for her bottle.

She turned SIX MONTHS old today. I truly, honestly, cannot believe that she is already one half of a year old. On one hand it still feels so new and like we're getting used to everything. On the other hand it feels like our precious girl has been part of our lives forever. And now, in just another SHORT six months she'll be one year old. Wow.<br /><br />Here's a quick (maybe) update, followed by LOTS of pictures from this week and today. So, now six months old, Emma is a pro at sitting up! She also rolls from her belly to her back AND her back to her belly. Every now and then she acts like she wants to crawl when on her belly but as she gets her knees up she just tips over to the side instead of thrusting forward. Maybe next month. She is WONDERFUL at playing now and laughs and smiles all the time. She seems engaged by her toys, passes toys between both hands, will hand toys back to us, and EVERYTHING goes into her mouth. Speaking of that, she is definitely teething, but no teeth just yet. The past several weeks have been interesting trying different foods. So far, she has had sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, pears, peaches, squash, oatmeal cereal, and just tried bananas today. She seems to like everything. Only downside is that we've had some trouble with - um, shall we say - staying "regular." But we're working on it. She's still sleeping pretty good, although she's started waking up for a bottle once a night sometimes. We think it's growing spurts....although she's still a little bitty thing. We're excited to see how much she weighs at her 6-month check up on Monday. She seems so petite and compact to us.<br /><br />Now here's LOTS of photos.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4LWSKLuWXrvQ5ph2K4go-owE1C06oWNjG_r6A1BnVVLKC9_Tz2qH1zoEsJRYmW2Uk_gtG8LH1nP47XrOEp-385JQOhsEGum6haUbhp8RYPVNuW5IOluiyT45uSBOgTTWfzj14rnh-134/s1600-h/twisted2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Wonder what this next month will hold.
