Happy Halloween!!!

Well it's almost Emme Claire's 1st Halloween! I'm so excited to dress her up and take her to see her relatives. She is gonna be so cute! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures (y'all know I will haha!) and I'll post them on here as soon as I can. But for now I am going to post the Halloween card that Karie Potts made for her (she also took all the pics that you see on the card). Her business is K & K Photography and the website is www.kandkphotographyonline.com. She is a very sweet person and takes wonderful pictures and she designs the cutest cards as you can see here. I know most of you got a card in the mail from me but I couldn't resist posting a pic of it on here too. (with Karie's permission of course)





We took Emme Claire for her 6 month check up yesterday and the doctor said everything looked good. She isn't having any problems and thank goodness she isn't sick and hasn't been sick at all yet! Knock on wood! We hope we can make it through the flu season with none of us getting sick. The doctor did say that now that she is 6 months old she recommends we get her the flu shot (the regular flu shot) so we plan to do that next week. And Brian and I also need to get the regular flu shot as well.
My baby girl weighed 16 lbs which is in the 50th percentile so that is average. And she is 27 inches long which is in the 90th percentile which means she is very long! My girl is gonna be TALL!!! =)

After the doctor appt. EC and I went to visit Aunt Dean and we brought her some of EC's pumpkin patch pics. Karie Potts did the pumpkin patch pics for us and they turned out so cute! I snapped a few pics of EC playing on a mat at Aunt Dean's house yesterday.





I wanted to post this picture of my little brother when he was less than a year old (I'd have to ask my mom exactly how old he was in this pic). I think Emme Claire favors him a lot, especially in this picture.


Here are some pics of me as a baby.
I'm 6 months in this pic. And boy look at all my hair! You can tell that my mom has already had to trim my bangs cause they are too perfectly even.

I'm 10 months in this pic. Emme Claire's hair better hurry up if it's gonna catch up to how long mine was.

I'm 10 months in this pic. I've even got pig tails in this pic. I can't wait to put pig tails in EC's hair!
That is my Uncle Bill holding me. I sure do miss him!!

6 MONTHS OLD!!!

Sorry it has been a while since I've posted on here. I've been really busy with orders but I'm getting caught up now.

My sweet little dumpling Emme Claire is 6 months old today and I can't believe we are half way to one year old already! Time is flying by! She has changed so much in these 6 months that I just can't imagine all the changes we have ahead of us in the next 6 months. She is going to be sitting up on her own soon, then crawling and then walking!

Here is the good stuff.... pictures!!!!










Here she is modeling a pillowcase dress I made.

Little Piggy Face

Emme Claire ate squash yesterday and she ate the whole jar. It must have been some good stuff. She also tried peaches the other day and she liked those too. I'm thinking we will try carrots today.
I forgot to mention that EC said momma or her first version of it anyway. It was about two weeks ago and we were in the car on the way to Ruston and she was upset about something, pacifier must have fallen out and she was fussing and then she said "Mum mum mum mum mum!" Then a couple days later at my Mamaw's visitation she said "Mum Mum!" and I had witnesses that time. :) Awe, it melts my heart.
I think it won't be long before she is sitting up all by herself. It is so exciting!!
And I have a feeling crawling will be very soon too. She tries very hard to crawl now but can't quite get it. She knows to pull her knees forward but she can't figure out what to do with her arms.
And when she is laying on her back she is always trying to sit up. She pulls her head and shoulders forward but can't quite pull herself up.

I finally got a picture of Emme Claire making her new face. It's so cute. She wrinkles her nose, squints her eyes, grins and sometimes she breathes hard through her nose which kinda sounds like snorting. It's so cute! I just hope she doesn't decide to do that at her next photo shoot.

My little piggy!

24 weeks old

Emme Claire is doing a new face now where she wrinkles up her nose and squints her eyes and grins. It's so cute! She must know that we think it's cute because she does it all the time now. I will have to get a pic of her doing it and post it on here soon. She is loving her new jumperoo and she usually doesn't mind sitting in it to play while I get a few things done. It has been a life saver. Her hair is growing so much! I can't wait till the day I can put pig tails in her hair! Emme Claire has tried some new baby foods, she ate some sweet potatoes and seemed to really like them. She also had some pears, bananas and applesauce and enjoyed those too. I think we'll try squash tomorrow. We're doing all the 1st foods right now. But I think her favorite is still the cereal mixed with apple juice. She still drinks formula mostly and eats spoon fed food about twice a day.

Here is Emme Claire after the sweet potatoes.

Little Miss Messy!


We went to the Log Cabin in Ruston Saturday night to celebrate Brian and his brother Tim's birthdays with the family. I got some pics of Emme Claire in her cute little outfit before we left the house. The sweater sleeves were a little too long for her arms but it's still cute on her.

She was checking out the dots on her skirt.












This afternoon she fell asleep in her jumperoo. I thought she looked so sweet I just had to take a pic.

Look at her right hand, she is still holding on to her link.


Brian caught these pics of her holding her own bottle today. She doesn't like holding her bottle very often so I told him he should take a pic of her since she was doing it. Then when he got the camera out and pointed it at her she started to smile. My baby girl definitely knows what to do when a camera is pointed at her.

Here are a few pics to give you a taste of what Stacy will have at the trunk show.

The mushroom outfit that I know I'll be ordering. Isn't it too cute?


The adorable sock monkey outfit. This is precious!


This is a taffeta ruffled pant set - it also comes with a sash and includes monogramming on the shirt. Wouldn't this be great for a Christmas outfit?

Lil' Pumpkin

I somehow managed to do two blog posts on here yesterday and I'm squeezing this one in today but there probably won't be many more this week. This is going to be a crazy busy week around here. Lots to be done!

Yesterday evening we took Emme Claire over to visit with her grandparents for a few hours. Here are some pics I had Brian snap of her in her Lil' Pumpkin outfit before we left.







Then when we got home last night I snapped some pics of her after I changed her into her jammies.
