The Perfect Fall – Emerald

And another beautiful day to just chill in the grass + she was all dressed up from church, so we had to take photos 😉

This girl has become so much fun the past few weeks! Her smiles, giggles and personality crack us up all the time, this has easily become the most fun age (so far, ha) but I’m sure we’ll love every moment to come.

A couple months ago if I laid her in the grass, she would have just stared back at me and couldn’t have cared less. Now she’ll feel the grass, lick the grass and try to eat it. It’s sad to think she’s growing up, but I’m glad growing up means it’s even better and it’s so fun to watch her learn and discover new things. Can’t wait to put her in a big pile of leaves this fall and play in the snow in the winter.

Cousin Time

It’s always fun when all the kids are together, also because that means almost all of us sisters are together! Never thought it would come to this, but my sisters are my bffs and we love hanging out.

It’s basically impossible to get 4 kids under the age of 3 to pose for a photo. We tried, but then we just decided to take some of Emerald by herself, since she was being good 😉

All wondering “what’s wrong Charleigh?”

Mondays

Mondays are usually everyone’s least favorite day, and I totally get it because it used to be mine as well. Not anymore. It’s not my absolute favorite because I still favor Saturdays and Sundays when we get to spend time with Drew too, but Monday’s are definitely third favorite now 🙂

Today was the perfect fall day to spend a little time outside (and meeting dad for Chick-Fila, that turned into Potbelly’s because of the insane long line)…

Outfits

Miss E is a little fashionista, or maybe that’s her mom. Either way she’s got the cutest clothes so every day we have to take some photos. Carter’s is definitely our fave when it comes to baby clothes!

As you’ll notice she drools like crazy, and she’s also been sick this week so that’s why her eyes look a little teary. And can talk about how cute she is? Love her thumbs up and crossed legs…

Emerald – 3 Months Old

Can’t believe our little gem is 3 months old already, I’m sure I’ll say that every month though! Time is going so fast!

Emerald weighs about 10 lbs right now, wears newborn clothes still, and size one diapers. She loves to try to try to sit up, and stand up, holds her head up very well, she squeals when she’s excited and smiles non-stop. She’s been in the bumbo and exercauser, and loves all the new toys she can play with.

Now that I’m back to work, she hangs out with my mom two days a week and our friend Laura the other two days. From what they say she’s a good baby, besides the few times she has some explosions in her pants or doesn’t want the bottle.

We of course think she’s the cutest thing ever and we can’t get enough of her, she’s constantly making us smile and laugh!

To truly get a glimpse of her life at three months, we made our new traditional monthly video… watch a day in the life of Emerald at three months old:

Labor Day 2014

We were all sad to see summer go, and apparently so was Emerald…

We had one last hurrah/cousin time/grill out at my parents to spend the last beautiful day of the summer. I’m so thankful for the amazing summer we had and really wish summer could last 365 days a year.
