Little Miss Smiley

There was no mistaking Emarie's first smile yesterday!! She had on some little moccasin boots and I was telling her how cute they are and she definitely liked what I was saying. Since then she has smiled a few more times when she's talked to. If she's not smiling she gets excited and waves her hands and kicks her feet!! So far she is still a great baby. Last night she took her last bottle at 9,went to sleep and slept til 4:40. She took another bottle and back to sleep. Let's hope that doesn't change!!

Terrible Twos?

This conversation is not something to brag about but some day we will look back and laugh. I don't know if it's terrible two's or a sign that we've got our hands full for a long time to come...probably both!
The other night Isabelle was helping me cook. She was up on the counter...
Me: Isabelle don't touch those. (She touches them) You touch them again I will put you down.
Isabelle: Well I can just climb back up there mommy.
Me: Then I will have to spank you.
Isabelle: Well it doesn't hurt and I can spank you.
Me: How about I put soap in your mouth for talking back?
Isabelle: I will just spit it out.
I normally wouldn't go back and forth with her but I wanted to see how far she would go.

My Little Pumpkin

Poor baby needs to grow some hair...she looks like a little boy!!! So cute though!!! Even when she's covered in pink people still think she's a boy.

Daddy's Girls

Look Who's 1 Month

I can't believe Emarie is already 1 month old!!! It's gone by way too fast. We go to the dr on Monday for a checkup so I will have to update her size then. She is such a sweet baby!! Getting a little spoiled but that's ok. She sleeps great. This week she started sleeping 6-8 hours at a time. If I could get her to take her last bottle at 10 instead of 7 we will be doing real good. We had our own little photo shoot to capture the 1 month memories, I had a blast!! =)

So serious!!! I think that might be a smile...
Easton came home from school that afternoon and he was all about his baby sister. Here is him playing peek-a-boo!! I tried to explain she probably can't see that far but it didn't matter to him.
He held her for a good 45 minutes or so. I was hanging clothes, getting ready for a garage sale. Easton told me,"You know why I'm holding the baby? I don't think you can hang those clothes and hold her, so I will just hold her for you." At one point she started fussing and he told me,"Mommy, usually when she cries that means you have to hold her but I think I can get her to stop crying this time." And he did...
When she started fussing he said,"She just wants her pussycat." He meant pacifier...Isabelle got a big kick out of that.
She fell sound asleep with a tight grip of his shirt...too cute!!!
This was the best I could do of the 3 of them. Easton pretending to sleep with her So sweet!!!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Updated Pics

Emarie--so far pretty good sleeper!! Isabelle loving on her baby sis
Grandma watched the girls one night and this is how she was when I got home. =)

Isabelle reading to Emarie...too cute!!! She did this all on her own and did one book after another for quite awhile.

Easton and Braden cleaning out pumpkin

Emarie wasn't too impressed with the pumpkin carving!

Isabelle wanted NOTHING to do with it!! She doesn't mind pumpkins but once you cut them open, she's scared to death!

Grandma reading to the kids. I don't know what I would have done with out her those first 2 weeks. When we took her to the airport, it was so sad. Isabelle hugged her and said,"I'm really gonna miss you. I really just want you to stay at my house." Then Easton too said,"I'm gonna miss you grandma!" So sweet!!!

"Miss Marvelous"

Easton and Isabelle in their Halloween costumes ready for Bradens party. Easton is a pirate and Isabelle is a Dora Snow Princess. I think this is the first picture I've taken of them that they are both looking and smiling.

A Visit From Our CA Friends

Deianna wasn't too sure about holding Emarie but did great! =)Tiffany reading to Isabelle...imagine that!!
