One Month Already?

Well, sadly today marks the 1 month bday for Emmy! I know, I know, you say "sadly?" It is sad that time goes so fast! I just want both my kids to stay little longer so I can soak it all in! This last month has been a blur! It seems so fast paced with two kids, that sometimes I feel like I didnt stare at her long enough that day! WIth the first one you get to just stare uninterrupted, and with the second one you are constantly having to put her down and get something for the other, or clean or do laundry etc etc...I am trying each morning after her last feeding at usually 6am, to put her on my chest instead of back in bed so I can just soak her in! I got to stay home for 14 weeks with cole, and only 6 with her. I have one more week off and Im so sad. She seems so young to part with me all day already! I told my husband yesterday, how sad that you have to send your child to a sitter even before they have their first shots! Luckily, like Cole, she will stay with Dan when hes off duty. But of course my first day back he's on duty and its a preschool day, so they are going to 2 separate places and I havent figured out how Im doing that! Im pretty syre my blood pressure meds will be working overtime that day! lol!
Anyways, this month although too fast has been wonderful! I love her so much and she has fit in our crazy life just perfect. Cole loves her and everyday spends more time with her. Today on her one month bday he held her for the first time.

So Big!

There is no story to these, just some cute pics of my sweet Emmy!She is about 3 weeks old in these pics. SHe will be 4 weeks tomorrow!

THe Magic House

While my sister was in town we took Cole to Magic House! He loves it there. It was a Martin Luther King Day so Kristy was off of work too so they joined us as well. Cole and Josh had a great time building things, exploring and as always, Cole spent most of his time in the imagtination part with the small village for kids. Mooney spent most of her time watching Emmy! Imagine that! We had so much fun!

Mooney Time

My sister lives in Wisconsin now so she was not able to be here when Emmy was born. She booked airline tickets to be here the week after Emmy was born, however Emmy came early, so she was dying to get here!FInally she made it here! SHe loved meeting Emmy, playing one on one with COle and having sister time. SHe spoiled Emmy to death. It took us a few days to help Emmy understand after Aunt Mooney left that we could not hold her 24 hours a day! lol! Aunt Mooney and Cole had lots of fun singing Lary Plattes Pants On the Ground song from Idol!

Play Mat + Hanks Toy

Since Emmy is becoming a little more alert, I decided to get out the play mat. She layed there for about 10 minutes before she was done with it all together, but in the meantime, Hank was so excited she was sitting on the floor, so he kept bringing her his toy hoping she would play. You can see the ugly blue thing laying next to her in most pics!

Rub A Dub Dub

On Sunday we were able to give Mrs. Emmy her first "real" bath! Her cord fell off on Saturday in her diaper! Cole was super excited and wanted to be the one who did it! So, we pulled up a chair and he got down to buisness...sunglasses and all! At first she didnt mind, because she peed and it must have been soothing, then she went into hysterics! Dan and I laughed becuase with Cole he did the same thing, but we panicked because we didnt understand why he was crying. THings are much more relaxed with the second one! Enjoy the pics!

Happy Birthday Aiden

Yesterday we got to go to Aidens 3rd bday party at Pump It Up! Cole had a blast! It was nice to get out of the house also! Emmy slept the whole time! Cole ran ragged and we had a great time!
