Emerald’s Second Snow

A heatwave hit Wisconsin… a 25-degree heatwave! So we thought we’d see if Emerald would want to play in the snow again, last time she was unsure about it, but didn’t seem to mind it. This time, not so much. Poor girl!

Maybe we’ll try again in another month, since I’m sure there will still be snow 🙁

8 Month Baby Activities

Now that Emerald is more interested in fun, new activities, we’ve been trying to mix up our days a little bit with some discovery fun!

I first tried some baby-safe paint from a recipe I found on pinterest. I made it while she was napping and was super easy, but she ended up sleeping longer than planned and when we went to paint, it was more like play dough. Oops!

Next time we tried watercoloring! I put some paint and water in a plastic bag and taped it down on the floor, she had fun with it for a few minutes and then decided the tape was pretty neat. Oh the fun babies have with the most random things.

Hmm, what to try next…

Bedtime Routines

We’ve started a new bedtime routine that includes more of daddy now! She eats some cereal at 7:15, then jammies, story time and devotions with dad and then she nurses and goes to sleep 🙂

Every other night she also gets a bath. I love this little duck!

Valentine’s Day 2015

This Valentine’s Day was a little different than Drew and I’s past 9 Valentine’s together. We got to spend some couple time the night before at our LifeGroup while my parent’s watched Em that night.

In the morning Drew picked up donuts, yum! Em actually wasn’t a fan, silly girl, who doesn’t like donuts?!

Becky and Josh were in town, so we hung out with them for a little bit and then spent some time together at home and headed to Life Church. After we went to Qdoba for a quick dinner!

I guess being a cute little valentine can be tiring!
