Thank God she loves the water.....

Thank God Emma loves the water. Seeing as we are both from Southern Cal. we are water people. I'd say that's the hardest part of moving away is we miss the beach like no other. Especially now that she is here! But after her 1st bath was a success and her 2nd bath made her smile we're off to a good start:).

Fathers Day!!

So we had a great 1st fathers day celebrating Chris!

Emma & I made him a fantastic breakfast of Frosted Flakes and toast (it's what he wanted:). Then we went on a family walk and hung out in the park a bit, relaxed and went to the clubhouse and met the family for a fathers day dinner and then of course watched the Angels game on TV... with their newest #1 fan:).

Chris had a fantastic day and He & Emma were just to cute for words all day:).

Here are a few pictures from the day... Enjoy!

(Thank you Picard's for Emma's official Angel's gear:)

1 MONTH...

I can't believe it's been one month! Well actually 5 weeks but I've been a little busy:)... Well I can honestly say that the first 4 weeks were nothing like I expected; they were super difficult, emotionally, physically, everything! I knew it would be hard but WOW! It's a wonder why people have two and three kids... but here is my theory on it. So the first few months of pregnancy I remember feeling tired and completely ill every second; just nauseous and icky! and again I thought I will never do this again. Now I barely remember those first few weeks and am already missing being pregnant. So that's what I think about the first 4 weeks of bringing your baby home; tired, exhausted, recovering, emotional. At a time when you need the most sleep is the time when you are not getting any:). But now we're a little past 5 weeks and I'm just so in love with her and have turned this corner to absolutely loving every moment. She is sleeping through the night a minimum of 5 hours (last night 7 hours; thank you Lord!) and getting out and running errands with her, etc... so I can see with everything there is this rough start/adjustment period but then the heavens open, light shines in:) and you just start enjoying... now I feel addicted to this little girl:) I can't imagine not having another or 10.... no just kidding:)! She's just so stinkin' cute! Anyway that's my theory on why people do have more but boy oh boy those first few weeks I thought my friends were crazy:)!
Well Miss Emma is doing fabulous! As I said as of last weekend we pulled the middle of the night feeding and let her sleep, sleep, sleep and she made it 5 hours her first night... wow that was a gift; Chris & I didn't know what to do with ourselves:). She's eating fantastic, she is gaining weight. She had her first months check up and her first shot:( and passed it all with flying colors. We are all doing great and I wanted to share some pictures!

At her 1 month she was 21 inches & 9lbs. 5oz.

Daddy & Emma hanging out!

More alert everyday!...


1st outing with Mom (to Target of course:)

This was taken 5 days ago... the big 5 weeks!

So stinkin' cute!

I know I'm biased, but seriously how stinkin' cute is she???:)

I think this is the best cell phone picture I've ever taken... got some fun stuff in the mail as gifts and although this hat is 6-12 months my mom couldn't stand not trying it on her, so we were playing dress up:)!

Just want to completely eat her up...

I just had to post these...

Ok so this is totally random. My mom & I were chatting just about Emma's birthday and really just reminiscing about the past couple of weeks. She started laughing and mentioned that all the parents were taking side bets after leaving our house on Mothers Day because they were 100% positive that I would go into labor that night! She said that I was just SOOO pregnant (and I did have two contractions while everyone was here:) and they just couldn't believe that I wouldn't go that night. So Chris & I were looking at prego belly pictures of myself and here are two from Mothers day that came out great but WOW!!!!!!! no wonder the parents were just watching me and waiting... Needless to say I went into labor 30 hours after these pictures were taken:) I told you totally random... Enjoy!!! we got a kick out of them; I seriously don't even remember being that big now??? What about my other mom friends do you remember those last moments of pregnancy and feeling this ginormous??? It's only been 3 weeks and I seriously don't remember:):):)...

I mean seriously people... Holy Moly!! I can't believe that's little Emma in there:)!
