My Emilia has grown up in 28 weeks!

Well, sometimes she just needs something to distract herself with.  So, I put the iPad on camera mode and let her talk to herself.

 She loves eating, I mean "reading" books!

 She loves Beans licking her toes. Beans is so wary of her hands and I dont blame him one bit!

 Thursday we visited Daddy after a wonderful wellness checkup at the doctor's!  15 lbs and 8.5 oz.  She's sitting up so well the doctor said too! (It is because mommy makes her practice!)

 Fun Millie & Mommy talk times! I love those chunky baby legs!!

 My girl is so happy in the early morning hours.  I hope this part of her stays because it helps me get up and be happy as we spend time together!

 She reaches and gets into everything now!  She has even learned to pull out tissues from the tissue box.

 Oh Mom, says Emilia, not another picture, please!

 This is how shopping looks for us.

 Oh wait, there she is!

 Her first tooth came in this week. She loves to gnaw on her raspberry teether!  It is not a pacifier but a daytime "under supervision" teether toy.  It works well!

 We needed some tummy issues cleared up, so into the vibrating bouncy chair she went.  She is huge in it now!

 She loved to put her feet all the way up to the top rings and play with them!

 Beans loves sitting outside her bedroom door protecting her/us!  What a good, loyal dog!

 (Second picture without flash this time):

 My Relief Society Presidency meetings are held in the Garden of Eden. Oh wait, that's just Sister Allred's house.  (No, not my mom or another relative Allred, but a sister in our ward!)  She has the best flowers and I just had to stop and take a picture of my cute mommy self with those flowers!!  I might just walk over with Emilia and do a flower shoot with my girl! We will see what time allows!

Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers and enjoy every minute with your baby.  The babies grow up so fast!  I love my Emilia and every precious moment I get to spend with her and that I get to be her mommy!

Week 27 was Fun!

What a fun busy back to real life week we had!!

Daddy's little punk baby!

 This week the power company had our trees trimmed for safety reasons.  We enjoyed sitting in the windows watching.

 Play time!  This baby loves to play!!

 She can find a tag on any item and it goes right into her mouth.

 More room decor.

 Uncle Jonathan came to play.  Emilia with her toys and Jonathan with his toy.  iPhones at my house are called toys.

 We harvested our grapes from our garden!

 Baby loves those piggies.  My piggies are in the background too (freshly pedicured)!

 Beans in the Beans house!

 Play time for the kids!

 Baby girl was helping mommy get ready for the day.

 She even tried on some blue eye shadow.  Nice look my dear!

 My baby is soooo happy!  She's "absolutely perfect!"  I love how well she's sitting up too!

 I decorated more of my house!

 Pa meet and played with happy baby Emilia!!

 Last Tina Tuesday of the summer.  Jared made baby a nest with walls to play in.

 And swimming time!

The kids laying in the grass as Nettina & I got everything ready.

 Baby Emilia loved it so much more now then she did at the beginning of summer!

 She spent so much time splashing, her toes got prunny.

 All wrapped up and headed inside in style!

 Sisters in black and white polka-dots!!

Beans got very tired from splash activities and the heat and enjoyed a nice nap in the love sac all to himself!

 Daddy & Emilia at the end of their trick practice. :)

What a fun week we had!  Baby is doing well eating and sleeping.  She's so happy and content!  We love our baby Emilia!!

Week 26

Emilia is also 6 months old now.  Is it too soon to start planning her 1st birthday party?

Thursday tummy time at Grandma's cabin.

 Family swing time.

A picture of Emilia, her cousins and their Grandparents!  AKA my Mom and Dad!!

I've had this rocker forever.  Now I can put it together for my daughter!

 And she looks so cute in it too!

 Her shirt says, "Daddy's Favorite Princess!"

 I've been working on my kitchen cooking skills.  Tonight was asparagus.

 Also, Ben and I took a trip to our local backyard garden for fresh eggs and salad!

 Emilia is sitting up.  She's 6 months old and amazing!

 Oh and she can move all over the place too.  She even ate my homework.  :(  Goodbye notes.

I love Emilia!  We love Emilia!  Everyone who knows and meets her loves her too!!
