A Weekend Of Firsts
This weekend was full of firsts for Emory. On Friday night we tried cereal for the first time because Emory was no longer getting full nor sleeping through the night. What a mess! I think she wore more than she ate, but she seems to like the cereal. She DOES NOT like having to wait for more cereal to be put on the spoon. Imagine that, an impatient baby! The first night she was not quite sure about the spoon, but we practiced a little and now she seems to understand its purpose, however she’s still a bit impatient with waiting for the food. Emory also surprised me by squirming out of her bouncy and nearly onto the floor! Saturday morning I was cleaning the kitchen and Emory was sitting in her bouncy watching me, so I thought. However, when I looked back at her she was on her way out of the bouncy and onto the floor! We will definitely be using her straps now when sitting in the bouncy. On Sunday, Tessa stopped by the house on her way back home and Emory and I got to meet Olivia Kate for the first time! For those of you that do not know, Olivia was born 5 days after Emory. The two girls watched as Tessa and I took tons of pictures and then we watched them “play.” While they played Emory managed to suck on Olivia’s hand and somehow Olivia’s dress ended up in her mouth too! If something’s near her mouth my child will find a way to chew on it! Although short, it was a great visit and I hope to get up to Fort Worth/Dallas for a longer visit with Tessa and Olivia, as well as see Clancy, Maggie, Nicole and baby Hudson who was born the day before Emory!
Third attempt at eating cereal. Still wearing it!
What's this mom?
Wearing it rather than eating it!

Mother's Day
I had a wonderful first Mother’s day, except my little girl was not feeling good. Emory woke up early Sunday morning with a low grade fever and runny nose. While Emory and I slept in, Bradley made me pancakes! I then got to open presents from Bradley and Emory. Bradley got me a beautiful tea rose and picture frame and Emory “decorated” a flower pot, which I love. She “made” it at Ms. Betty’s and it is the best flower pot in the world because it has Emory’s little footprint on it. Ms. Betty told Bradley that they tried to do to hand prints too, but Emory did not cooperate. Gee, I wonder where she gets her stubborn streak from! We then went to Bradley’s parent’s house to have lunch with Grammy (Emory’s great grandmother), her great Uncle Scott and his friend Gail, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Andrew, and of course Mimi and PeePaw. Emory slept through lunch because she still did not feel well, but I am sure she enjoyed sleeping on her Daddy’s and PeePaw's chest. Emory is feeling much better now and is back to her happy drooling smiling little self.

Emory's First Crawfish Boil
This Saturday we went to my grandmothers for a family crawfish boil. My Aunt Linda flew in from California and got to meet Emory for the first time, as well as my great uncle and several second and third cousins. Despite the heat Emory was a good little girl and enjoyed watching all the people. She played with her big cousin Noah and tried to put everything that she could in her mouth, which is what she does best!

I'm 15 Weeks Old
This weekend was pretty uneventful. My Mom and Dad came up Saturday to visit and help with the new house, which I hope to be living in by the 4th of July! I will post pictures when the counter tops are finished, which should be in the next week or two. Emory is getting to be a big girl and is full of personality. She loves to watch people and discover new things or things she just forgot about! I love to watch her facial expression's when she’s discovering. Her latest achievement is knocking a beanie baby cow off her changing table. I keep the cow by her changing table for her to look at/play with when getting dressed or changed. The first time she did it accidentally when she was flaying about during a diaper change, but now it is a game we like to play. Emory knocks the cow off the changing table and mommy picks it up. She is also fascinated with the television, so much so that she will turn her neck around to watch it while being burped. Below are some picture's taken last week and over the weekend.
Emory puts everything in her mouth, including her whole fist.

Dreaming. She makes the funniest faces when she dreams!
Just hanging out with mommy!
