Birthday Week

The week of Jan 5-Jan 11, 2009 was quite busy. It started by celebrating mommy's 27th birthday on the 6th. Emeryn got mommy a new purse, some stackable birthstone rings with her and her siblings names and birthdays and clothes. Emersyn also sent flowers to mommy's work. On Jan 7, 2009 we celebrated Emersyn's 5 month birthday. Mommy decided to take pictures of Emersyn in some of her new clothes. She got soo many clothes for Christmas, that I want to take at least one picture of every outfit. She laughs when you change her clothes so she was a good sport. On the 8th, Ashley Stanker drove down from KC to babysit Emersyn. They did all kinds of girlie stuff! It was so wonderful for Emersyn to get to bond with her. On the 9-11th my parents came to celebrate my birthday. It was nice to spend time with them. On the 11th Emersyn sat down for her 1st taste of babyfood. She is now getting the hang of it and eats almost an entire container in one sitting. She takes after mommy and LOVES to eat.

Happy birthday to you! I made these for my kids in my psychosocial group and we had one for Emersyn's 5 month birthday. Jan 7, 2009. She didn't eat the whole thing. I did let her taste a little frosting. She LOVED it.

Ashley Stanker drove from KC to babysit Emersyn one day when mommy & daddy needed a babysitter. She was so great to help them out and spend quality time with her niece! They did all kinds of fun things and did lots of girl talk. Soon enough she'll be able to have annual junk food days with Ashley & Mommy.

Good Morning Sunshine!

Not quite awake in the morning.

My mother used to put my bibs on my head and call me "Sister Ashley". She decided to try it out on Emersyn as well.

Smile!

Levi's New Year's resolution was to be more hands on with Emersyn. He is slowly being less scared of holding her.

Carrot's...I don't know if I like those?

Bath time after the 1st baby food experience. Jason gave her a bath and calls this her "comb over". He joked that she looks like a used car salesman.
