Emily Kay at 4 months

Well, the good news is there is nothing wrong with my camera. The bad news is my computer is messing up our pictures. We'll have to see if it can be fixed. I've decided to go on a post some pictures of Miss Emily Kay, even though they are not of good quality.

She's such a sweet baby and I love being with her. I can not believe how fast she is changing. It seems that everyday she's up to a new trick.

Having fun in her jumperoo at Grandma and Grandpa's house.





Playing with Brody and Ella after Brody's baptism.



Trying to sit up!


Watching Baby Einstein and playing in the Excersaucer.


Playing with Auntie Natalie.


Trying out the sippy cup. She didn't like it!



Finding her toes.


Just being sweet. This is how you usually find Emily Kay - on the floor with a toy headed for her mouth.


We are very excited about our 3 day weekend that's coming up and about the first MSU game of the season. We wish everyone a safe and fun Labor Day!

Sad!

I haven't been posting b/c there is something wrong with my camera. Every picture I take turns out like the ones from the last post. Half of the picture is very bright and the other half is dark. I've tried new batteries and taking pictures on every setting. I don't know what to do! If you have any suggestions other than getting a new cameral let me know.

Emily Kay is so much fun these days. She's rolling over both ways and sitting up with the support of her boppy. She's laughing out loud and she LOVES Matthew. She's eating rice cereal, squash, pears, and carrots. She loves the carrots and is not a fan of sweet potatoes. We gave her a sippy cup with apple juice on Sunday, just to see how she would react. She did not like it! I hope to either figure out what's going on with my camera or get a new one soon.

Here is one pic that I was able to make work.

Yuck! Mom, what have you given me?

What have we been doing?

I'm sorry about the quality of these pictures. Don't know what's causing the problem.

Last week I started my job at the First Baptist Church of Madison with the Mother's Day Out program. It really is perfect for us! I only work MWF from 9:00-2:00 and Emily Kay gets to go with me. She stays in the nursery and I work with three year olds. She did great. She is really a social baby. I know that this pic is really silly, but I thought it was so cute that the teacher put the babies' names on the nursery door as if they were in "big" school.


Last Wednesday, I went to get Emily Kay from the nursery around 2:15 to go home. She was the only baby awake and she was in a Jumperoo having the time of her life. She was laughing and squealing. She absolutely loved it. I called to tell Matthew what our baby was up to. He told Grandpa Kirk and that very afternoon Grandpa Kirk went to good ol' Wal-Mart to get Emily Kay her very own Jumperoo (She's not spoiled at all). Then she liked that so much that Matthew and I decided we needed something for her to jump in at our house. So I found an Excersaucer at a consignment shop for $20.
I was so excited because they are like $60 - $80 new. I came home and cleaned/disinfected it and this is the result:



This past weekend The Whatleys came to town. We had a great time visiting with them. Saturday Amy and I took the kiddos to Kid's World. Of course, Emily Kay was way too young to enjoy the activities, but she sure did like strolling around. Then Saturday evening, we went to Amy's parents for dinner and swimming. Emily Kay and Will had a great time.



Whew! Long post. I'll have to be better.

Three Month Pictures

Emily Kay's three month pictures are finally online. I love them. I'm having a very hard time deciding which pictures to order. David Wiggins ,our wedding photographer, took these pictures.

Look!

Emily Kay has been rolling over for a little over a week. This is the first time I have caught it with the camera, because she usually decides to roll over when she is by herself.

Step 1 - push yourself up.


Step 2 - work really hard to push up on ONE arm.


Step 3 - throw yourself over and TA - DA you have a roll!


Emily Kay is not a fan of sweet potatoes. She refused to swallow even the smallest bite. We'll keep trying!
