Time for week 25

We went outside for a walk in Daddy's garden.

The car seat abuses me.  I have bruises on my arms and legs from where it pinches and bumps into me.  Ouch!

 Exer saucer time!

 And then she picked up her legs and hovered for a few.

 Ben & I finished her room!  Yippee!!!

 All organized and ready for baby Emilia!

 My dad, Pa, came to meet Emilia!!!  What a fun time they had together!!  The rest of the day my sister had dad and we packed for our family vacation to Montana!

 Our fun car crew!

 Our sleepy crew too! (You can even see the baby asleep in the mirror in the middle).

 We made it to Grandma's cabin and then we went into Cooke city (aka the big city and the number one coolest small town in america) for our anniversary dinner!

 First time sleeping in the crib that a lot of cousins and second cousins and first cousins once removed have slept in.

Sunday was church outside of course!

 Lots of pea sampling for my baby girl!

Sunday night was a family bonfire!

 On Monday we did work and made cookies!

 We even went down to the stream and dipped her toes in the water!

 brrrrrr, so cold!

 Daddy Ben & Emilia on the other side of the bridge!

 Tuesday was punk baby day with XOXO on her shirt (Daddy's selection).  She totally rocked!

 That afternoon we went down to the river and everyone did the rope swing while we splashed about in the shallow end.  In the background is Pilot and Index.

First hike and mommy carried her and she even slept on the way in my arms!

 Wednesday morning was a new moose hooded onesie for Emilia!

So I had to go and put on my moose pj's too!

 

We went into town again that afternoon (it is like 10 minutes from the cabin) and took pictures outside of the Trading Post by the bear!

And the cougar tried to get our girl! AHH!

And her souvenir that we picked out together was a moose stuffed animal!  Hooray!! 

What a fun vacation and a lot of firsts for Emilia!  Her first time leaving the state she was born in and traveling through Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.  She visited Yellowstone park and her Great Grandma's cabin.  This week, she started sitting up and is all over the floor these days, so watch where you step!  Every day I am amazed at the new things she does and how grown up she seems!  Where's my baby?  Anyone seen her?!?

Who wants to play 24?

Well, Emilia will play 24 one day, but as of today, she is 24 weeks old!

So many happy events this week and one of them was moving back into our house!!!

 And my babies got to snuggle together again at last!

 Aunt Olivia came to visit and she was able to meet Emilia for the first time!  It was quite a fun & busy Wednesday!

 Thursday was family relaxing day at my house!  So me and E hit the hay for some much needed zzz's!

 Mommy & baby selfie!

 Grandmom got to feed E some yummy foods!

 3 Generations of women, each of us the oldest sibling in our families!  What a great legacy of women!

 Sunday morning snuggles in my bed!  Good morning happy baby face!

 Olivia with a chicken.  She enjoyed taking care of them while staying at our house.

 Mom & Beans napping after church.

 Ben got the doors hung on Monday night after FHE (Family Home Evening).

 On Tuesday, I took E for a vaccine.  Tradition states that we see Daddy after doctor's visits so off we went to his office.  We grabbed food to eat and took a walk around the offices.

 We girls have matching flower headbands & we both are wearing our sunglasses!  :)

 What a fun visit to see Daddy!

 Then home for play time!

 She loves her puppy!

 She reaches out for him now and he comes running to see her too!  Its so cute to watch!

 My big girl loves her Daddy (just like her shirt says)!

 And her mouth is open in the picture because she was singing & talking to me!

She's growing up fast! I love my time with her!  She loves the people in our family and it is fun to watch them interact with her!!  There are two movies below that you might have to watch by going to my blog and not viewing them in your email.  See if that works :)  Enjoy the videos!
