Corpus Christi Road Trip

Happy 2nd birthday Isabella!

Grandma and grandpa Rivera with Emily.

Hello all! We did our first long road trip with Emily this past weekend. She did very well. She slept about half of the way to Corpus. We stopped a few times to feed her and change her diaper. When we got into town we headed on over to the HI Express to freshen up before going to mom's house. My brother and his family were already there and getting ready for Isabella's birthday party. The first people we saw were Josie and Michael, dad's cousins. They were so excited to see baby Emily. Then more relatives started to show up for the party. Everyone was just ooing and awwing over Emily. Isabella had a great birthday party.

That evening we headed back to the hotel and got some much needed rest. Sunday we had our free breakfast and showed Emily the aquarium in the lobby. She loved the fish and tried to catch one. After checking out we went to mom's and took some family photos in the living room. We pretty much relaxed until going to lunch at Jason's Deli. After that it was a nice Sunday of football and catching up with everyone.

It was so nice being home with the baby. Mom and dad really enjoyed having everyone there. Now Jon and I are sure Emily will travel well so we'll be heading on over to Llano soon.

Visit with Grandma Rivera

Watching the rain in the morning.

I'm 5 months old!

I love my grandma!!

Well Emily and I had lots of fun with grandma Mary while Jon was away. Even though it rained most of the time she was here, we played a lot and went to a few places like the mall and church. Each morning grandma would take the baby to each window and look outside. Emily loved it! We also gave Emily her first taste of dry rice cereal with formula. She did very well with it. I can't believe my baby's 5 months old now. Time just flies!

Visit with Grandpa and Grandma Barlett

Emily's new Exersaucer

Hi Grandma Barlett!

Having fun

Head to head with Grandpa Barlett

What a pretty watch!

Hi! This past Sunday grandma and grandpa Barlett came to visit us! Emily enjoyed spending time with them and Jon and I got out to do some shopping. We bought Emily a new Exersaucer, a humidifier, an air purifier and a large box of diapers at Babies R Us. We came home to let the men put the stuff together. Aleta and I went out shopping and to lunch while the guys watched Emily. We had a ball!!

Pat-a-cake

I love Eyore!

Look how much I've grown!

Touch my toes!

Hello! Emily and I have started attending pat-a-cake at the Euless library on Tuesday mornings. It's a fun little class for babies and toddlers. It's very interactive and I think Emily enjoys it. I like it because I get to see the other parents with their babies. Plus I get to re-learn all those nursery rhymes! I think Emily likes visiting the library. I hope she'll love to read like I do.
