Oh! I Almost Forgot....Real Food!

Emma had her first experience with Stage 1 real food on July 10th. She really enjoyed a container of peaches. YUM! as she wiped them all over her face and up her nose. She was too cute! She is now eating a vegetable and fruit for lunch and dinner with of course supplemental bottles, but I'm telling you the kid is a little chunker...she has so far loved everything other than peas. And those peas were a little scary, I have to say!
She goes to the doctor next week, but we guess her weight is give or take around 14lbs. That's a long way from the 1 lb. 13 oz. at birth.
Well, we will update again soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

July 11th - 13th...Sleep Over!

Emma's first time away from Mom and Dad overnight. Apparently she had a great time, but we really missed her! Josh and I went to a Pro-Motocross race in Mechanicsville, MD for our anniversary get away. We had a great time, it was blistering hot - but oh so awesome! Nana-D took great care of Emma and Poppie did his part in spoiling her. She seemed to have had a blast and came back home spoiled rotten, as if she weren't prior!

Fourth of July...

We had a great 4th! We weren't too sure if Emma was going to like the fireworks or not, but we went anyway. We relaxed most of the day and Myself, Josh, Emma and Aunt Jenny went to Greenhill Park in Salem to enjoy the festivaties. I have to say those were the best fireworks I have seen in years. Emma was at first a little freaked mainly from the loud BANG! But after the first few she was squirming everywhere trying to get me to take my hands off of her ears. She sat a watched in AWE....! She was dressed up so cute in her little Fourth of July outfit. We loved it!

A Lot of Catching Up to Do....

We have a lot of catching up to do...we have had a busy summer so far.
To start Nana-D, Poppie, Uncle TR, Aunt Jenny, Josh, myself and Emma all went to New Jersey and New York for a long weekend in June. What a trip! National Lampoon's trip to the Big Apple! HA!
Emma loved the city and was such a good little girl the whole time. We have many pictures to share from our exploration. Emma, Josh and Aunt Jenny toured the Madame Tussauds Museum of wax stars. They had a great time and took lots of silly photos. We of course did some great shopping and then headed on back to the big VA.
