I had several posts about Huntley so I wanted to keep it fair and put some pictures of my sweet Emma on our blog..these are some pics of her that I took while we were waiting on our table at Sea-n-Suds during our family vacation to Orange Beach (more pics to come)

Happy 4th of July!!

Huntley's 1st day at daycare!! I had all of his bags packed and all of his things labeled right down to his can of Lysol..I'm such a dork!!

Camp Jabber Jaw

 

 

I had the opportunity to work at Camp Jabber Jaw this summer on MSU's campus..it was a great experience for me and I got a chance to work with children who use AAC (Augmentative Alternative Communication) devices. These children do not speak so they use these devices to help them to get their needs and wants met. I was assigned a camper for the week, and I went with him to all of his activities. It was a long week..I left home at 7:15 a.m. and got home around 9:30p.m. every night so I missed my babies!!

Emma's kindergarten graduation pics!!

 
Emma was so proud to graduate from kindergarten, and she had to celebrate in style at the Back Door with presents of course!!

BUSY MOMMA!!

Boy, have I been busy...and Huntley has lots of firsts!! He has begun to sit up, this started a little after he turned 6 months. He talks alot, at first all he was saying was "da da," now he says "ba ba" and alot of other things we cannot understand! He has learned how to wave "bye bye" and it is so precious!! He has no interest in crawling, holding his bottle, or a sippy cup, he's a man and all of those things require him to work a little, so what can I say..
Some of his firsts include first day at the daycare, first time in Mimi's big pool, first 4th of July, and so on..
Emma is looking forward to her big 7th birthday on the 17th of this month, I can't believe she is going to be that old!!
I have not been a good blogger lately, but I will try to get better..school is keeping me extremely busy, but it does make the time go by faster!!

End of the year kindergarten program!

Emma's end of the year kindergarten program was so cute! It had an 80's theme and all of the songs were like YMCA, Locomotion, Play that Funky Music (teacher)!
There was a slide show at the end of the program that one of the mothers had put together, and it was so precious, but I had to hold back the tears..I can't believe how fast my children are growing up! I cannot believe I am going to have a first grader!
We had a good time choosing Emma's outfit..the description of what to wear said..funky, 80's, rockstar, moviestar..So, we went to Belk and found the perfect outfit..A neon Hannah Montana outfit that Emma just fell in love with! And of course she had to spray her hair pink, unfortunately even after 3 washings it was still pink at church on Sunday!!

End of the year party!!

Emma just completed kindergarten, and they had a fun filled field day which I was able to ttend with her! She had a blast, there was alot of water to play in, a jumper, and ice cream sundaes! What more could you ask for?

Can you say...Would you like fries with that?

We had some fun with the McDonald's set a few weeks ago..I pulled it out after being in storage for a year to use for a therapy demonstration at school! Emma had so much fun with this long lost toy and so did Huntley..Emma put the little head set and hat on him and he never bothered them but he sure did look cute!!

Emma's Dance Recital

Emma took dance this past year and recently had her end of the year recital. She has decided that (quoting her) "dance is just not my thing, my thing is gymnastics"...ao she will not be taking dance next year which I am kind of relieved about because it was on Mondays (of all days) at 4:30 (bad time) and it ran into her girl scout meeting (which she loves!). If anyone is interested the place that Emma is taking gymnastics is at is going to be offering a tone class on Sundays, and I have signed up to try and shed some of this baby weight!!

Long Time No Blog!

I have been a terrible blogger lately..I have been super busy, from finals to family vacation..I have lots to post about and I promise Haley I am going to do my duties and answer your tag!!

The Mystery Roller..

Apparently Huntley has learned how to roll over..I layed him on his back on his floor gym the other morning and when I came back..ta dah..he was on his belly! I thought this was too funny!

UHHHH!

I have turned these pictures 4 times and they continue to show up side ways!! Oh well you get the picture!

Huntley is 4 Months Old!!

Huntley turned 4 months old a week ago! Wow! He is getting so big and long! He seems so tall..Anyway, he is still taking 6 ounces every 3 hours, although sometimes we stretch it out to 4. He has not started on rice cereal yet, we have an appointment next week with is pediatrician and I know he is going to say its time..He is still wearing his size 2 diapers..he is wearing a 6-9 months in most of his clothes, if its a sleeper he needs a 9 months for the length..for his cute little summer outfits that are short he can wear a 6 months..we are getting his first pair of big boy sandals today size 2, I will post a pic soon..up until now he only wears socks, occasionally Robeez, and his sweet little monogrammed shoes for church that he is outgrowing! I believe when he went the doc for a stuffy nose he was 27 inches and weighed 16 lbs. The nurse said that his length is off the charts! He is in love with his feet..both of them..he stares at them when he cannot get to them just imagining putting them in his mouth..when we try to change his diaper all he wants to do is hold his feet and try to put them in his mouth..everything goes in his mouth and he drools like crazy..he is a hair puller, which anyone who has hair that holds him quickly finds out! He is still sleeping through the night pretty well..he is very spoiled and wants to be held a good bit, but we try to entertain him with his bouncy seat, swing, floor gym, ultrasaucer, jumperoo, whatever will make him content!
