Beach Vacay 2014

The weekend before Memorial Day we loaded up and headed to Orange Beach for a few days and then drove to Ocean Springs to spend time with family. We had so much fun and hope to make an annual trip to the beach!
 
Emory did much better than I expected. We brought a baby pool with toys to the beach each day and she played and played. The hardest part was keeping her from drinking the salt water, ha!
 














 
We ended our trip with a stop in Long Beach to visit the Williams' in their new home. We will miss them but know God has big things planned for their future!

16 Months

How is my baby girl 16 months old?! She is SO fun and so full of personality. We seriously don't know what we did before her!










 
Some things I want to remember:
-She still loves to eat! Some of her favorites are cheerios, cheese, yogurt, milk, water, fruit & veggie pouches, carrots, and apples. She tried her first sno cone this month and loved it! She's still not a big fan of green peas/green beans.
-She RUNS! She is everywhere!!!
-She is full of sass and can throw quite the tantrum.
-She is so funny! And she thinks everything is so funny! She gets so tickled and laughs out loud all the time.
-She talks a lot! Words: Mama, Dada, Mamaw, Papaw, Mimi, Pop, B, dog (she sticks her tongue out and pants when she says this), ball, baby, apples, purple, cow (she says moo when asked what the cow says), thank you ("tank you"), no no, bye bye, "Whoa!"
-She can point out the dog, cat, cow, & duck in her book
-She follows simple commands very well (bring me the baby, go get your shoes, sit down, get in your chair)
-She's doing really well in her class at school and loves her teachers Ms. Amber and Ms. Sharon. She still takes a 2 hour nap on her cot.
-She loves for you to sing to her! Her current favorite song is "Father Abraham"
-She is still an awesome sleeper. She loves her bed and refuses to be rocked. She will sleep anywhere from 8-9 on the weekends.
-She is so loving at bedtime and gives the sweetest snuggles before we put her down
-She scrunches up her nose when you ask her where her nose is or when you tell her to blow her nose. I never want to forget that face! So so funny!
-She has 6 teeth
-She can point to her nose, ear, eyes, tongue, and teeth when asked
-She is really loving puzzles these days and actually puts them in the correct place
 
We love you Emory Elizabeth!
Stop growing so fast ;)

Easter Fun 2014

We had such a fun Easter weekend! We cherish anytime we get to spend with our families even if it is crazy busy!
 
Emory had an Easter party at her school so we took treats for her teachers and friends. After the party they hunted eggs! Emory was so excited her Daddy got to come!



We went to Mamaw & Papaw's house the Saturday before Easter and ate and hunted more eggs! Emory really had the hang of it by this point, she had a blast!











We spent the night at Pop and Lollie's house and then went to church with them Easter Sunday.
The Easter Bunny stopped by! Bunny Loot: A puzzle, book, Frozen DVD, bath toys, and a shirt.


After church we headed to Gigi and Pawpaw's house for more food and egg hunting!




Whew! Holidays wear us out but we wouldn't trade a single minute!
Happy Easter!!!
