One more

Here is one of Emmalee with the whole basket so you get an idea of how small she was. She's getting a lot bigger everyday!

Portraits

Days at home....

Are spent looking like this.

Flying like an airplane

And sleeping

Trick or Treat!

I am a construction worker by day and a superhero by night!

SAM to the rescue!

Home

Emmalee came home to live with us on Sunday.

Here she is in her car seat... snug as a bug in a rug.

Here I am meeting her for the first time. She has toes.

Mama and Daddy even let me hold her, but I had to be very gentle and careful.

Emmalee gave me this really cool baby grand piano!

Emmalee Faith

Emmalee is learning to drink from a bottle. She's doing really good, but she eventually tires out and has to finish her feeding through the tube.

She gets to cuddle with Mama while she gets milk from the feeding tube.

Mama will try to get some more flattering pictures soon.

Sister

3 lb 7 oz

17 inches long

Here's my baby sister. I won't get to meet her until she comes home to live with us. Mama says she has to stay at the hospital for a little while so she can grow.

Baby Boom

Mama says my baby sister is coming sooner than expected. Her water broke yesterday and she is in the hospital unil baby sister comes. They will do a c-section on the 12th (34 weeks gestation) unless Mama goes into labor before then.

Nana and Poppie have come to take care of me. I'm having lots of fun with them!

Play Time!!

Lots of people went in to get me a slide and swing for my birthday! Grandpops came to help put it together with Mama and Daddy.

All done! That was quick!

I like to go up the slide...

I can also swing like an airplane!

Today I took a nap in my big-boy bed! But I decided my crib was better for sleeping all night.

Party time!!

As promised, here are a few pictures of my birthday party.

Mama made me this Snoopy cake.

I enjoyed eating lots of fruit and a small bite of cake. I'm not a big fan of cake.

Nana and Poppie got me this awsome trampoline! It's a lot of fun!

Uncle Doug and Aunt Allison gave me this cool InchWorm! I have to bounce up and down to make it go forward.

Mama and Daddy got me this cool bike; I haven't figured out how to use it yet.

I got clothes, books, crayons, chalk, a tool kit, and lots of other fun things to play with!

Thanks everyone for making my party great!

Happy Birthday TWO Me!!

Today is my birthday. I am two years old! Mama fixed my biscuit donuts for breakfast and then I got to eat waffles for lunch outside. Then Mama lost her car keys at the mall so Daddy and I had to go get her. I got to play on the playground at the mall and ride in a dog and a helicopter!We ate supper at Chili's with Nonnie.

The only bad part of the day was that I had to go to the doctor and get a shot. It was not fun, but Mama took me to Sonic for french fries and apple juice afterward.

I get to have party on Saturday. Pictures to come!

San Antonio

Last week Mama and I flew on TWO airplanes to get to SanAntonio to see my Grandma and Grandpops. We also got to see Auntie Les, Auntie KK and Hunter, Noah, and GG Ruby.

Elmo got to come too!

Here we all are.

I loved swimming with Hunter and Noah....

and Auntie Les and Auntie KK! I also went to the wave pool at Six Flags which was really fun!

I love my Grandpops!!

We've been in Texas for over a month now. We moved into our new house a couple of weeks ago, but Mama hasn't taken any pictures of it yet.

I like to be sprayed by the water hose!

I get to eat a popcicle in the afternoon after my nap. And if it's really hot outside I get to swim in my pool, too.

Bubble bath!!!!

My GrandPops came to see me and to see Daddy be commissioned.

Here I am with Baby Eli. I really like to hold his hand and play with his feet.

Master of Texas

My Daddy graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary!

I got to play in the DeepEnd for the last time while the grown-ups went to the ceremony. I had lots of fun!

Then Mama, Nonnie and I flew to Texas on an airplane. I saw lots of clouds and lots of other airplanes too!

Cate and I reunited once I was in Texas again.

Now we are in Anson for my Nana's birthday. Micheal, Sarah, and I serenaded everyone on the piano.

Countdown

Mama says we are moving to Texas soon. (17 days!) I guess I'll find out what that means when it happens. She says we are going to live in a BIG house and I will have a BIG room to sleep in and BIG living rooms to play in and a BIG backyard too! I guess everything IS bigger in Texas!

Here are some recent pictures of me doing various things...

Hmm, maybe this is why all of Mama's bowls are cracking.

I wonder what would happen if I turn this on..... don't think I'll find out.

I like to pull my wagon around. My neighbor friends like to, too.

D.C.

Here's Mama and Daddy at the Capitol building. We took a very informative guided tour.

Man that dude was big!

Of course, Texas is much better than the rest of the U.S.

This picture was taken at the WWII Memorial

Taking a little rest. I found a little Korean boy I wanted to play with at this spot, but he wasn't interested. Most of the kids I play with here at home are Korean.

Washington Monument

I got to spend lots of time with my Auntie Les and Auntie KK. They took care of me and gave Mama a much needed break!

Mama was most excited to see this weinermobile! We saw it on the highway a couple of times then it just happened to come to the same gas station as us! That's a big hot dog!

My favorite part of DC was riding on the Metro train! Choo Choo!
