Itsy Bitsy Spider

So here is Emma with Halloween outfit #1... the adorable Itsy-Bitsy-Spider shirt and her super cute Jack-o-lantern socks.  I plan to put up pictures of her every day in her Halloween outfits since she has a few of them... :)  And of course, stay tuned for her in her cow costume again on Halloween!  She is going to go trick-or-treating with Chloe the White Sox pug & her cousins, Taylor, Summer, Melanie and Noah. :)

We hope you all are doing well!  

Happy Halloween Week!

Love Emma and mommy

We're watching The Glass-Bottom Boat

So yes, we really are watching the Glass Bottom Boat.  I'm taking a break from daycare calling.  

Here are some recent pics... the top one is her cute hoodie outfit from Aunt Jenni.  The second one- I know it's dark, but I love her face in it- she looks so happy!  The third one is her and Chloe chillin' on the Boppy pillow.  The last one is her in her swing, which is what she's in right now.  It would be nice if she had her big swing here to she didn't roll to the side while she sits... but that's okay.  

We hope you all are doing well... we're feeling better today.  Wish us luck that one of these daycare places will have an opening and let us in... so far, it's waiting lists, waiting lists, waiting lists...

Have a great day!  hugs... heather and emma

We've both had colds... :(

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while but we've both been sick... she caught my cold :( and I haven't been able to get rid of mine yet.  

I haven't uploaded my new pics to the computer yet, so I've put some of the ones from not too long ago of her.  The first one is from last week- she's so cute and pretty in purple.  The middle one is her in her take-along swing, which she still doesn't fit into yet and the last one is her in her stroller, which she still doesn't quite fit into yet either.  

We hope you're doing well, all the followers of Emma's blog.  

Wish us luck in finding day care! :)

hugs... heather and Emma

"Every day's an Emma day"

One month old!

Hey everyone!  Guess who is one month old today!  Yes, it's EMMA!  And, as of her last doctor's visit, she now weighs 7 lbs. 5 oz.! Way to grow, Em!

Sorry it's so short, but Emma is EXTREMELY fussy today so... 

TTYL... love you all!

love, Emma & her mommy!

Little Moo's Halloween Costume from Aunt Julie in California!

So I had to post these... We got THE CUTEST gift in the mail today... Emma's very own first costume from Great Aunt Julie in California.  She sent one of her signature home-made cards with a story for Emma (which I read to her- it's so cute!) and a cow costume for Emma.  

Some background on the whole "Moo" thing... when I was a little girl, I added "moo" at the end of everyone's names so my Aunt Julie started calling me "Moo"... my dad still calls me "Heath-Moo" to this day.  So now Emma is my little "Moo" and as a cute costume to show it - notice in the first picture the pink heart sewed to the costume with the words "Little Moo" on it.

So... as soon as we (Emma, Gramma, Chloe and I) opened her costume, we had to put it on her for pictures for Aunt Julie and I, of course, had to share it on the blog with you all.  Also included are pics of Chloe in her White Sox Halloween costume.

Oh, and Aunt Julie, as you can see- she has grown and does fit quite well into it.  I know you were worried about the fit.  I can't tell you how sweet that was of you to send... it is so precious and so special... I'll send some more to you on Halloween when she wears it to trick or treat with Chloe the Pug as Chloe Jenks hahaha... :)

Have a great day all!

we're done for the day...

Okay, so gramma is feeding Emma right now so I put up her in the swing, her in her cute purple outfit from  yesterday and the last one is from earlier tonight- I thought it was too cute!  

Good night, all!

So here are some pics of Emma... The one on the left is from last night- she loves to sleep with her arms up over her head like that... and the one on the right is from a little while ago.  She's sitting in her portable swing now (I took a picture but it's long ways so I have to save it to the computer first and then I'll post it.  It's so cute!  

So we're still looking for daycare (anyone know of any places in Chicago for Tuesdays and Fridays, let me know) and have a doctor's appointment on Friday for a weight check.  I think she's gotten much bigger and so does Gramma so we'll see.  I'll keep you informed!

We're going to try to venture out to Target or Babies R Us tomorrow... so far, we've only gone to Jewel because it's close by and Emma can ride in her stroller (usually while snoozing) so we can grab a few things.  We've gone to Target once - we still have to learn how to put her car seat on the cart... 

I hope all is well with everyone.  I'm going to try to post more pics before Emma is ready to eat again.  

Hugs... heather and emma!

PS- we're also going to watch the Biggest Loser, which is starting now, so we might not get too much done tonight... :)

Hello everyone!  I'm new to blogging so be patient with me.  I will try to keep this updated as often as possible with pics of the beautiful baby Emma, aka the love of my life!  

Today is another lovely Heather & Emma day with Aunt Chloe here watching over us.  Even though it is gray outside, it is a nice fall day - not too cold so we are enjoying our walks with Aunt Chloe.  The floor guys are done with the floor here at home so we are back to just vegging out at the moment.  

I'm going to try to figure out how to put lots of pics on here so you all can enjoy Emma... and you all know how I am with my camera so there are LOTS to choose from...  

Enjoy!  TTYL all!
