Baby of the Week!

Emma is baby of the week in one of my groups on Cafemom. I just wanted to share that post on here!! :)

My name is.....Emma Mackenzie



But my Mommy has a nickname or two for me. She calls me Emmers, Sweetie, punkin, cookie monster

My Mommy is named...Heather

My First Birthday was on June 3 and we celebrated by having a princess party at home!



When I was born, I weighed 6lbs., 8 oz. I have grown so much and now I weigh 18 lbs.



Some things I do well are........running, talking, opening cabinets & doors, making messes, holding mommy's hand when we go for a walk, and listening...most the time :)

I am still trying to: use a spoon/ fork when I eat. (I can move it from the bowl & put it into my mouth, but mommy has to get the food on the spoon first). I haven't mastered it YET, but I am working hard at it!!!

Some of my favorite things to do are play outside, read books, take a bath, GO (anywhere), and play with shoes, but being tired & not getting my way will cause me to tantrum.



I can say a lot of words now.(Mommy doesn't know how many...) My favorite word to say is dada. I love my daddy!



Favorite song is Ring Around the Rosy (I love when 'we all fall down!') Favorite Book is Bad Dog Marley. Favorite toy is the Crawl & Cruise Musical Jungle...I've been playing with and dancing to that since I was 6 months old!



I sleep very well-12 hours a night. I love to go night night. I have a favorite thing to sleep with. It is my paci, my 'silky' blankies & my fav. stuffed animals: puppy, Elmo, & Pooh.

There is no such thing as a "typical" day with me, but if I described one then it would go something like this.

I wake up around 8 am; sometimes I play in my bed & let my lazy mommy sleep later :) Mommy gets me up and I have breakfast-usually oatmeal & fruit or yogurt, & milk. Then mommy changes me, gets me dressed & our day gets going. We either have a playdate or run errands in the morning. Lunch is at 12, then I go down for a nap around 1:00. I sleep till 3, sometimes 4, then it's playtime again. I have dinner with mommy & daddy around 5, then we play outside, or go for a walk. I take a bath at 7, then brush my teeth, read a book and go night night by 8.

Some of my bad habits are: being much too curious! I am into everything! I am working on it!!!

One word that best describes me is: sweet....I give hugs and kisses to everybody & everything :) (This is Emma leaning in to kiss the golf man at Grandpa's office):



Some challenges my Mommy faces with me are......staying healthy! I was never sick until this fall. Now I catch another cold every couple weeks :(

Brag about me Mommy!!!! Emma is a very sweet, happy, little girl. She is a great sleeper, a great eater, and just a joy to have! She has spoiled us by being so well behaved-we can take her anywhere! She is the sunshine in our home!!

The big news of the month!

We're expecting a new addition to our family sometime around July 10, 2010. We are SO excited!! We were hoping to have another one shortly after Emma's second birthday (June 3) so the timing is just perfect! We are so blessed and excited to go through this amazing process again! I think I'm even more excited this time around because I know what to expect...and I know all the wonderful things to look forward to! We also found out this weekend that close friends of ours are expecting a baby just days after ours, so that makes things even more exciting! AND, lol, another good friend is due just a couple months before us. It will be so fun to share this experience! (We're all on baby #2!)
I actually found out really early on that I was pregnant. The line was so light on the test (cause it was EARLY...I still can't believe the test even picked it up) that I ended up taking a digital to make sure. After I took the test I told Mikey that I thought Emma was going to be a big sister. The smile he got on his face is something I won't soon forget. My sister and I went to the mall that day and got Emma a t-shirt that says "Big sisters are the coolest".
We dressed her in it that night when we went to dinner at Mikey's parents house, and it was so fun to see his parents reaction to Emma's little message. I also took her down to my mom's office in the same shirt and shared the news with my mom that way. Such fun times and wonderful memories! Emma also wore her shirt to church yesterday to let our church family know.

A quick recap...

I got a bit behind in my blogging last month. Let's just say I had other things on my mind :) (Refer to the previous post :)) So, now I will play catch up and post some pics of us at the pumpkin patch:




And some of Halloween:

Emma is...
