Emily and the Pumpkin Patch

Picking a pumpkin from the patch.

We're lost again, daddy!

I'm really spooky!

Daddy's little pumpkin.

Gosh, our little baby girl keeps growing and growing! She's so funny when she starts babbling and laughing. She's curious about everything and everyone. We're still working on her sleeping through the night. She spoiled us for a week when she actually slept through the night. But lately she's been up every two hours at night making Jon and I walking zombies the next day!

Last weekend we all went to the Hall's Pumpkin Patch in Colleyville. It was so much fun. There were lots of pumpkins, farm animals, hay rides and a crazy corn maze. It felt so nice to do something as a family.

Well, since Emily's napping right now I better go put my feet up for awhile!

Emily is 6 months old

Mmmm, cereal!

Time sure does fly. Six months ago today we welcomed our little one into the world. We are truly amazed at how much she's grown and how much she's learned. She spoiled us for a couple of weeks sleeping through the night. But this week's been a different story. We'll see how she does tonight!

Emily likes her exersaucer more and more which is great for us. She loves to stand while we hold her and she loves to sit with support. Her babbles are getting funnier all the time. Every once in awhile she'll sigh really loud as if she's bored. She still loves to watch the ceiling fans turn and she is eating cereal twice a day.

On Tuesday grandma Barlett invited us to lunch. We met Jessica, Aleta's niece, and Jessica's baby girl, Madeline. We met at California Pizza kitchen in Grapevine. It rained the whole way there and Emily fell asleep. I got to the restaurant early so I sat in the parking lot watching Emily sleep. We finally made it inside where Emily was fascinated with everything including my peach iced tea!

Emily's wearing clothes that are 6-9 months and some 12 months. I went on a shopping spree at Babies R Us last weekend to get her some more clothes. It seems that everyone got us 0-6 month clothing and now she's outgrown them. There are a couple of great resale shops where I can get lots of things for good prices. I'm looking forward to shopping for holiday outfits.

That's all for now. I'll blog again soon!

Boo-ya!

Our little pumpkin.

I'm so excited for the holiday season this year! First is Halloween and Emily will be a pumpkin - if her costume fits. I bought a pumpkin tshirt at Target and put some green shorts on her and took some photos. It's not her real costume but I couldn't wait to see how the colors would look on her. I'm also looking forward to creating our family memories of the holidays. We're planning to take a family photo in November and use one of the poses as a holiday card. We are so blessed to have Emily in our lives. She's brought us lots of joy!
