Halloween!

Emily had so much fun on Halloween, once she got over the fact that her costume had a hood, she really got into it. By the end of the night she was picking candy out of the bowl herself to put into her bag.

Best Friends

Rob just left to go back to Iraq, but we had a wonderful 18 days with him here. We were able to see all of his friends and family and do so many things with Emily. She had her first trip to the zoo and the aquarium, many trips to the park, and hiking all over on Daddy's back. Only 7 more months until he returns again and we cannot wait to have him around for more than 2 weeks.

Waiting For Daddy

Rob will be leaving the FOB tomorrow to start his long journey home to us. We are SOOOO excited, although he will only be here for a little over 2 weeks, we'll take what we can get. We have a lot of things packed into his time home and hopefully we will be able to fit it all in, along with some time for relaxing as well.

Emily's First Birthday

We made it! Emily is now one! She enjoyed her birthday party very much, especially the part where she got to rip all the paper. The cake was also a big hit! She is now 20lbs 5 oz and walking very well; soon she will be running all over the house. She is signing more words and is turning into quite the picky eater. She loves to dance and chase Annabelle and Buddy around the house. Rob should be home on leave in September so hopefully we can add some pictures of the whole family

10 Months and Counting

Checkin things out in Emily Land

Finally I have high speed internet in NJ and can update our page. Emily is now 10 mo. old. She is almost walking and I know it won't be too long before I am chasing her around. She has quite the personality and is even saying and signing a few words. She is now about 20 lbs and loves to go swimming with Mommy. Summer is quickly approaching and we will both be up at camp working this summer. It should be a lot of fun and I know Emily will enjoy all of the scouts.

7 Months Old

Emily is now 7 mo. old and eating solids with ease, well when she feels like it. She is almost crawling and now weighs 15 lbs and is 25 inches long. We are staying in NJ while Rob is deployed and we hear from him every few days. He is doing well and hopefully the time will pass quickly and he will be home before we know it. Emily and I will be working up at camp this summer, and we are both very excited. It should be a great summer, and with all the improvements to camp, the boys are in for a great summer too!

Six Months Old Today

Emily is now 6 mo. old. She can sit up on her own and she has found that if she keeps rolling she can eventually get where she wants. She takes baths in the big tub and has definite likes and dislikes. We will be back in nj by wed next week Feb 21 and should be there until the following February next year. This is what happens when I sleep on my hands
Here she is rolling around to put everything in sight in her mouth

5 months old

Emily is now 5 months old. She is 25 in long and weighs 15lbs. She can sit up on her own for a few min and roll over both ways. She is really developing quite a personality. She is eating more food now and loves to drink our of a cup. It won't be long before she is crawling.
