Beautiful Ballerina!

AHhhhhhhh...how cute! (this is early in the morning...so excuse the hair!)

"Will we do this at dance?"

CC starts her first dance classes on Wednesday! I am so excited for her. Her 3K teacher is also the dance teacher, so I think that will be helpful for Christian. Doesn't she look adorable! Hopefully she will be better at dance than me! Grandparents, get ready for the recitals!:):)

CONVERSATION WITH CHRISTIAN:

(Picture it- me making the bed in the morning)

CC: Mommy, who's coming over?!

(guess we need to start making the bed more often, not just when people come over. HORRIBLE that my daughter picked up on that!!!)

Uh-oh!

I embarrassingly admit that I sucked my thumb until I was in 3rd grade. To get me to stop, I had to wear this rake type retainer on the roof of my mouth....ouch and ugly!

So, even though this picture is adorable and I think it's so stinkin' cute that Emory found her thumb, I will do everything in my power to get her to stop!

growing up

YUMMY!!!!!! priceless face!
Mommy, should you really let Christian feed me??? (another priceless face!)
(fran- thanks for letting us use the bumbo...Bryan was very thankful for it during feeding time!)

Emory has started eating rice cereal. I can't believe she is already 4 months and eating food (if you can call yucky rick cereal food!). Before I know it she will be running around with her CC.

She actually LOVES the rice cereal but doesn't get much in her mouth...gotta learn how to use that tonuge. CC loves helping out with feeding her. She's a wonderful big sissy.

Your thoughts?

Okay....so Bryan and I are in a little bit of a disagreement. He HAAAAAAAAAATES these new bow bands I got for Emory, and I LOOOOOOOOOOVE them. What do you think? Be honest....no ones feelings will be hurt (except mine if you don't like it....just kidding....really- tell us what you think?!)

Fun

the only thing they caught...a lily pad!
she had her own barbie tackle box with worms!

CC, Emory, Elise, and Sophia. Next we'll have baby Kate and Ava! SIX girls...wow!

sweet Ava!

We've had a great weekend. Friday night the Meacham's and Scroggin's came over to our house for dinner. The girls played together all night long and we could have some adult time. Elise and Emory are so laid back and were perfect. Saturday, Bryan and Christian had a little daddy/daughter fishing. Bryan bought her a Barbie fishing rod, and she had the best time. CC did not want to leave- they fished for 2 1/2 hours!!! Bryan can't wait to go again- next time is on a boat!

JESUS LOVES ME

CC's new favorite song to sing is Jesus Loves Me. They sing it in school and we sing it at home ALL THE TIME (at least 6 times before we go to bed...she has chosen to sing it instead of praying lately). Emory loves to listen to her sing it and so do we. I love it so much...it makes me smile and sometimes want to cry it's so pretty. What a great voice, huh?!!!

4 month stats

Emory had her 4 month appointment yesterday. She is 16 lbs 14 oz and 26 inches long....95 percentile in both!!! She is sleeping from 8:00 pm- 7:00 am (YAY!!!), eating 5 times a day, and will begin eating rice cereal soon. She loves to smile and giggle when you tickle her tummy. She is her happiest in the morning...constantly smiling. She can roll over from tummy to back and from side to side....almost ready to roll from back to tummy. She grabs for toys and gets so excited when she sees her bottle. Her favorite songs for us to sing to her are Pat-A-Cake and Jesus loves Me. She loves for people to talk to her and she will 'talk' back.....more like a high pitch squeal! She is perfect! We love ya Emmie!
