Silly Emory

Emory has been doing and saying some very funny things lately. Like the other day when she shouted, “let’s rock n roll” then “1, 2, 3, 4” and started jamming on her piano. I have no idea where she learned about rock n roll, but she seemed to know what she was doing. Then while we were in Shreveport she referred to all the hotel/casinos as castles. She was very impressed with the “castles.” On that same trip while riding in the car she said in her sweet East Texas twang “it sure is hot in here, it sure is hot in here mommy.” This was her way of asking me to turn up the a/c in the car. Tonight after dinner Emory put her daddy in jail. We are not sure why he had to go to jail or when she even learned the word jail, but she led him to jail and made him stay there for a while. She also plays the scare game which involves her tiptoeing over to whomever she wants to scare and then sneaking up behind them and yelling SCARE!!!! Ta-da is her new thing, after she does something she goes TA-DA!! She also loves the silly game, which consists of Emory saying, “silly daddy” then Bradley says, “silly Emory” and so on and so on. This is a game we play in the car. By the time it is over she has gone through everyone she knows. Another cute thing she does is call out for Dot when she can’t find her. She goes through the house yelling “Dot, where are you?” Here she is playing in her old exersaucer in Cason's room. Such a mess!

Happy 4th of July

So far we have had a very relaxing 4th of July. This morning we went to town and hit a few 4th of July sales and then came home and have just been hanging out.


I tried and tried to get a good picture of Emory and Cason, but between Cason constantly chewing on his hands and Emory being in a "mood" this was the best I could get. The look on her face says it all! ha!

I did get a sweet one of Emory giving Cason kisses.

We had pizza for lunch. Here is Emory patiently waiting on her pizza....

and Cason chewing on his hands wishing he was eating pizza too!

Now they are both napping and I am headed off to get some chores done. Later tonight we are going to watch the fireworks in town. Emory is super excited, I just hope she can stay awake long enough to see them. I am sure it is going to be extremely crowded because fireworks have been banned due to the super try conditions and are not even being sold this year. Hopefully we can find a good spot to park the truck and watch the firework's show.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Pictures and Drool

This morning after Emory woke up she asked to hold Cason and then wanted me to take her picture. So here she is relaxing on a stack of pillows holding her brother. She is really starting to want to pose for pictures, especially with Cason.


Speaking of Cason I am more convinced that he is starting to teeth. This weekend he has done nothing but drool, chew on his hands, spit-up, and fuss.

This is his 5th bib and 2nd outfit today and it is just 1:45pm. Yesterday we went through 4 or 5 outfits and too many bibs to count!

She's Back

My parents brought Emory home yesterday afternoon. She had a fun time at Grandma and Pawpaw's house this week. She swam, shopped, played at the park, went to her first movie, and learned what Chuck E. Cheese was all about. Needless to say to had a blast! One afternoon they went and saw Cars 2 and Emory loved it. I was a bit nervous that she would lose interest and start talking, but she did great. Mom said she only got fidgety once when she ran out of popcorn and wanted more, but after a refill she went right back to munching and watching. Have I mentioned Emory LOVES popcorn? She probably really loved the "real" stuff at the theater because I just buy the plain 100 calorie kind.

I swear her hair grew an inch while she was gone. This morning I told her I thought her hair was longer and she wanted me to take a picture of her hair.

Grandma and Emory did some shopping this week and found a shoe sale. Emory is 2 1/2 and already LOVES shoes. So she came home with 2 pairs of flip-flops and a pair of sandals. She is very proud of her new shoes. She then spotted this purse, which she apparently had to have. She has been carrying it around all morning.

She also took up the game of golf this week and came home with her very own golf bag. It is purple of course! Emory's favorite color right now is purple, she wants everything in purple.

She told my mom one day this week that her daddy was going to build her a park (aka swing set) with a slide and ladder. He was going to build it out of sticks and paint it purple. ha! I don't know where she comes up with this stuff, but I love it! I am glad she had a great time on her first solo trip to Grandma and Pawpaw's house, but we are so glad to have her home. We missed her bunches and it was just too quiet with her gone!!

Firsts

This evening while Cason was having tummy time he rolled over (tummy to back) for the first time on the floor. He has rolled several times while lying on our bed, but I think the unevenness of the bed gives an advantage, so to me this is his first roll! I of course did not have my camera so I ran and got it and put him back on his tummy. Nothing. He just laid there for a while and then got mad. After his bath I decided to try again, but he was hungry and not having it. So I gave up and went and made his night time bottle. When I came back this is how I found him.

He was in the middle of the blanket when I left and nearly off of it when I came back. I was in the kitchen for all of 2 minutes, so I think I have a little speed demon on my hands!

3 Months Old

Cason's 3 Months Old Today!

He is still wearing size 0-3/3 month clothes and a size 2 diaper. He is the sweetest baby and continues to be laid back. He smiles all the time which I just adore and is "talking" more and more.

Milestones he has reached include holding his head up wobble free and rolling over (on our bed). He is also sitting really well with assistance.

We tried eating cereal with a spoon a week or so ago (in an attempt to keep him full) but he was not quite ready. I think we will try again in a week or so. He still wakes up one time during the night usually between 1:00 am and 1:30 am, although last night he did not wake up until 2:45 am.

He has the cutest chubby cheeks, arms, and legs! His eyes are blue, but have lightened some and are not as deep a blue as when he was born. He may have a tooth or teeth on the way, because he has been chewing on his hands and drooling non stop for the last week or so. I feel like he may follow in his Daddy and sister's footsteps and teeth early.

Emory's First Solo Trip

Today we met my parents in Shreveport because Emory is going to stay this week at their house. That is the plan anyways! This will be her first time away from home without Bradley or me with her. She was super excited to go! She gave us hugs and kisses and then told us she was going on a road trip! The house is so quiet without her here and I am already missing her! I think Cason is missing her too, not much going on or to look out with Emory gone!


Emory and her suitcase. She insisted I pack her doggie.

Ready to load her suitcase in the car!

Waiting on her Daddy to come and get her suitcase.
