Go Cats

Emma Kathryn and I have been to 3 Berry games this year. The first one was at Northside and we only made it through 1 quarter due to weather. The second game was Berry vs Lynn. Berry got slaughtered and we left in the 3rd quarter because Emma Kathryn was tired and I couldn't stand to watch Jacob, my nephew, get killed anymore. Last Friday we watched Berry vs Meek. It was a much better game. Emma Kathryn had a great time and Berry won.
For the first home game I had Emma Kathryn a shirt made with a paw-print on it. When Jacob saw it he asked "where was the number 3" so I had another shirt made for the last game. This one said "I love (heart) # 3" Mom was able to take her on the field before the game and get a few pics of them together.

I thought they were very cute even though you can't see her shirt or his number.

We tried to get a pic of her and coach during halftime but Coach went the opposite direction and then she was asleep when they came back out.

Maybe next time we can get one with him.
She also has her second tooth. It came in on Friday and is the match to the first one.

6 Months

I can't believe Emma Kathryn is 6 months old. I must say it has been a busy and eventful month for us.

A few milestones:
-She is sitting up by herself now
-She has her first tooth, not a very good pic but the best I could get with her sleeping in my arms
-She tries to get everything, nothing can escape her grasp
-She loves her baby food and will not let us have a meal without feeding her too
-We went to our first football game and she loved it
-Her and Zeke have became best buds. (he still sleeps outside her window and if we go outside he always goes where she is
-I got her a walker and she loves scooting around backwards, haven't figured out forward movement yet
-No toy or attraction had yet to pass the golf cart on her list of enjoyment
-At her 6 mo doc visit she weighed 15 lbs 14 oz and was 26 1/2 inches long

Park

We decided to take Emma Kathryn to the park last Sunday. I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have a swing small enough for her but she didn't mind. We put her in the stroller and went for a walk through the trail and around the pond. She loved it.

We knew she was getting tired and it was almost nap time so we decided to start back to the car.

Before we could get there she had already gave up. Too bad sleep doesn't always come this easily.

I Scream, You Scream...

WE ALL SCREAM, FOR ICE CREAM!

Micah and I let Emma Kathryn eat a mini Ice Cream Sandwich Sunday. She loved it. It was so funny. At first she didn't really know what to do with it, thus she smashed it in her hands. Then she started trying to suck on the pieces I would give her, then she resorted to just sucking it off the tray she had smeared it all over.

(disclaimer: this is not an every day occurrence for us. We don't usually give our child chocolate or ice cream)

Security System

"Who needs a bodyguard? I've got Zeke."

Just My Size

We went to Granny and Papa Wallace's house today. Anytime we visit there we always come home with something. Today that "something" was right up Emma Kathryn's alley. Not only did she love playing with it but she also loves the juice from it. Can anyone guess what this "something" is?

Catch Up

I am a bit behind on my blogging. I have had trouble uploading images but hopefully it is fixed now.

Since my last post, Emma Kathryn has turned 5 months old. I can't believe it. She has really changed lately. She finally has her own personality.


A few stats:
-She laughs all of the time
-She is sleeping in her own bed, praise God
-She still wakes up for a feeding each night but goes right back to sleep
-She weighs about 14 lb, 2 oz (that's us weighing her at home)
-She is still wearing mostly 3 mo clothes but some 3-6
-She is in a size 2 diaper and a size 1 shoe (big feet, I know)
-She is always happy in the morning when she wakes up
-She has become the queen of cat naps
-She fights sleep like a true warrior, but Mom always wins :-)
-She loves bath time, I have to have a bath cloth for me and one for her or
she takes mine
-She still hates her car seat
-She loves being outside, she doesn't care that it is over 100 degrees
-She has discovered Zeke and wants to get her hands on her so bad but he moves around to much and she isn't fast enough
-She still loves to ride the golf cart
-She got her toes painted for the first time (compliments of Aunt Christi N)
-She will not lay on her back at all. She immediately flips to her belly.
-She is loving baby food, We have tried: sweet potatoes, squash, peas, bananas, apples, peaches, and pears. She loves it all.

It is heartbreaking to watch your baby grow up so quickly. I was so thankful when she reached 3 mo old (finally the end of colic) but now I am ready for her to slow down!!
