11 years ago

Where does time go? 11 years ago tonight Jason proposed to me on New Year's Eve. It was a romantic and wonderful evening. He surprised me with a nice homemade dinner under candle light and asked me to marry him at midnight. We were young and in love!!! Our marriage has been strengthened over the last 8 1/2 years and we are still soooo in love. Jason, you are my best friend, my soulmate, my eternal partner and the love of my life. You are an awesome father and Emery is so lucky to have you. Thank you for bringing me true happiness!!!!!

Happy 7 months Emery Quinn!!!!

Emery Quinn is 7 months old today!!! He is changing so much.

Here are some fun facts about our baby boy:

• He LOVES to stand (as you can see from this pic)
• He has no interest in crawling yet (which is OK with mommy)
• He loves to laugh & giggle
• He is sitting up well on his own
• He can be very stubborn (I wonder where he gets that from??)
• He is very predictable with his naps and eating schedule (he is taking 1 hour naps a couple times a day, yeah!!!)
• He loves sweet potatoes and squash (still working on the green veggies :)
• He is definitely teething but NO teeth as of yet (stay tuned, he was up all night last night)
• He loves when you sing "you are my sunshine"

EMERY'S 1ST CHRISTMAS

It is Emery's first Christmas and a VERY white one!!! We have had soo much snow, about 3 feet to be exact. Jason spent over 6 hours plowing our driveway today!!! Enjoy the pics!!!

After opening his new toy this morning when Santa came

We make a birthday cake for Jesus every year and Emery couldn't help himself and stuck his hand in it!!!

Emery meets nana

Nana is here from Florida and they met last night for the first time! It was so awesome to see nana's reaction. I have always been really close to nana so it was special to see Emery with his great grandma!!!!

Big boy

Doing so well with sitting up

He has a tooth trying to come in on the bottom (it has been a tough few days)

SO FUNNY

This is hilarious!!!!! Emery was cracking up at Cody's tail hitting him in the face!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

We have received over a foot of snow!!! And it is still snowing.... we are hanging out at home together and watching this beautiful snowfall. This is Emery's 1st time out in the snow!!!

Jason has been plowing A LOT!!

Love his snowsuit

Emery is attempting to get on his knees

One knee, could he be on the way to crawling???

It is done

We finally finished decorating this huge Christmas tree. It took several nights since we both have to stand on each side of our enormous ladder; one night to put the lights on; one night to put the ribbon and then the ornaments!!! We are thinking next year we will go a little smaller, of course I say this every year and Jason doesn't believe me anymore!!

We can't believe it!!!!

We can't believe it, Emery has outgrown his infant car seat. He is 17 lbs but due to his height he needs a larger car seat (which still makes us laugh). So today we purchased a new one (early Christmas present) and we tried it out tonight. Christy started crying because our little guy is growing too fast!!!

O Christmas Tree

We spent the day looking for the "perfect" Christmas tree in the forest with friends and Grammy Lynn. It took nearly 5 hours and it is not a perfect tree but it is our tree and it will work!!! We took the opportunity to take some pics and we found a little snow so Emery got to see it for the first time. This evening was the Christmas party at our church and Emery got to meet Santa Claus. Santa's helpers gave Emery a candy cane and he stuck it in his mouth, it was so funny the way he looked when he started to gag (see pics at the bottom).

You can see the entire tree behind us (it is 14 feet, pretty ridiculous)

Kissing Emery (we love this little man :)

Emery LOVES to hang upside down

His meeting with Santa


And he is starting to gag himself!!

It's a miracle

I just wanted to share that Emery has been napping for 45 minutes in the morning the last couple of days!!! He is usually so predictable and will only nap for 30 minutes on the dot. Never does he go more or less than 30 minutes so the fact that he has decided to go longer is a miracle!!! I want to thank my friend Amy for her suggestion (I think feeding his solid food before the nap is doing the trick :)

Here are a few pics from yesterday, enjoy!!!

New milestones

Emery turned 6 months old on Saturday November 29th!! I thought it would be fun to do a comparison of what he looked like in his car seat the day we brought him home from the hospital and what he looks like today! It is amazing how quickly he has grown. Emery had his 6 month doctor's appointment this morning, here are his impressive stats:

Weighing in at 17.1 lbs, and this is the best part, he is 27.5 inches long!!! Yes, our son is in the 84% percentile for height!!!! We are just laughing because as you all know he didn't get it from his mommy & daddy! He is laughing, grabbing & reaching for anything & chewing on everything. He can hold his bottle for a little bit (depending if he is in the mood). He loves to stand up (of course we are holding onto to him) and he is sitting up pretty well on his own. He continues to roll over to his belly (although still hasn't figured out how to get back over) and eating solid foods (his favorite is his oatmeal with sweet potatoes). Emery seems to be a happy boy! He brings us sooo much joy everyday, we can't imagine life without him!!!! We love you Emery Quinn!!!!!
