More Pics!

Such a cutie pie!

I cut 14 1/2" off for Locks-o-Love.
Royce found a really good deal online and got me a Cricut Cake for my birthday!!! It was awesome. This was the first cake I decorated with it.
Lol...I have no words.
Emmaline wanted to take a pic of Daddy while we were Skyping. Royce had a networking conference in Virginia that turned out to be a really good thing.
Sweet little girls!


I let Emmaline sleep with me while Royce was gone; can you guess where I slept?
Hanging out with Daddy!

Stuff!

Wow, it's been a busy few weeks. Royce's birthday, Easter at Nana and Papa's, egg hunt with friends around the apt complex, Grandpa visiting, Marta's blessing, Mother's day, and even a video of smiles from Marta's new toy. Here's the pics; I'm sure you can figure out what pic goes with each event. (I find that I type much less when I only have one hand.)

These are my beautiful Mother's day flowers. They accompanied danishes for breakfast, a gallon of BlueBell chocolate brownie fudge ice cream, and a clean kitchen and living room! It was awesome.

Emmaline took this picture.

This is what Emmaline does to my hair at night when I'm not paying attention. Maybe that's why I just cut 14 1/2" off!

I really did get another picture of Grandpa, but it's on the other computer right now.

Emmaline has some serious issues with taking pictures in the sun.






I gave Emmaline the cake below and she spent a ton of time piping it. The top row of her piping is a bunch of tiny dots.

Jammies!

Just a Few Updates

Our first trip to Church!
She's started making eye contact and smiling at us now, which is so much fun. Royce can get the best smiles out of her, and she smiles a little bit at Mommy, but Emmaline is really frustrated that she can't get her to smile yet. :) I could not get a good picture of her smiling...Mommy's just too slow with the trigger button, but these are kind of close.


I was making Emmaline clean her room this time while Marta had tummy time, so Emmaline decided that she needed a toy to look at instead of her. (Normally she's always down on the floor with her during tummy time, along with Mommy or Daddy or sometimes both.)

Tired little girls

Emmaline is so funny listening to music on the mp3 player. When did she grow up so much!

I tried to fix the red-eye with photoshop, but I'm not very good so her eyes look a little weird.

I think Marta had a big chunk of Emmaline's hair in her hand. :)




Look at how skinny our poor little girl got! She dropped a lot of weight the first day in the hospital (this picture is after we were home, after she was about a week old), and more the second, and by the third she had lost 9.9% of her body weight, and so we had to supplement with some formula, but we were still aggressively trying to breast feed, and by her two week check-up she still wasn't back up to birth weight, and so we focused a lot more on formula, and she did so much better. By her third week at her cardiologist appointment she had gained more than a pound, and has been doing really well since, as you can tell by the fact that her little cheeks are getting chubbier! So like with Emmaline, the breastfeeding didn't really work, but she's doing really well now, and I'm happy with the feeding situation now.
