Thank you Nana and Grandpa!

Nana and Grandpa sent a little gift for "Back to school time". We used it to buy Emma her much needed high chair. She loves it! And as you can see it will be very useful in her daily studies. :-)

Thank you Nana and Grandpa!! 

First try with carrots.. Our new favorite!

Labor Day...

Brian and I took a trip over Labor Day with some friends of ours out to Mt. Rainier. We all shared a cabin and had a blast. We roasted marshmallows, drank hot chocolate, and wore our long pants to bed. Got to love Washington in September! We were able to hike up the mountain a bit with our 17.5 pound baby in tow. I think it's time for you to start walking soon 'little' one! Xoxo!

Runs in the family...

Emma has recently learned to put her foot in her mouth and now does this ALL the time! So we have decided she will probably take after my side of the family for sure!

More Milestones...

Rolling over, laughing, and attempting to sit up on her own! Our big girl is growing so fast. We are trying to soak up every minute of her new discoveries. This has been such a big week - it's amazing how much babies learn in such a short time. (Especially ours - because she is a genius!!)

                                               Sitting up like a big girl!

                                                                Rolling over...

                                                            Hangin' with Sophie...

At church with Sophie...

                                                        A long day of studying...

Best Daddy...

Brian has been traveling this week and we have missed him very much. So we thought we would put a couple of our favorite Emma and Daddy pictures up to let him know we are thinking of him.

Emma likes to help Daddy work sometimes. He's teaching her the ropes of the business.

This picture is from when she first started smiling. Daddy can always brighten her day. She LOVES Brian - already such a Daddy's girl. :-) 

New toy...

Emma is so excited about her new toy! Brian and I got her a jumper/exersaucer for her to play in. She is really wanting to move around on her own, but doesn't quite have the stability yet to do so - so we thought this might help her out a bit. She loves it so far and as you can see - it really wears her out!

Old Friends...

Our friends from California spent the summer in Alaska and had a long layover in Seattle on their way back home. So we got to spend most of the day with them! We had lunch at the space needle and walked around Pike's market. We all had a blast and it was so good to catch up. Emma was so happy to finally meet Auntie Paloma and Uncle Steve. Thanks again for a great day guys! We miss you!!
