Days Full of Adventures


The last several days have been full of adventures getting Emma and I out of the house. It started with trips to both grandma and daddy's offices. Emma did really well in the car. With all the trips combined, we have only had to pull over a couple of times, but it was nothing that her pacifier couldn't fix! When she is in the car she either sleeps, or looks like this...




On Tuesday, mom and Shelly came over and we went and had lunch and walked one of the shopping plazas by the house. Emma just hung out in the stroller. I think she was born to shop!
Yesterday, we made our longest car trip yet and went to say hi to Jessica and Sophia. Jessica's mom is in town and she wanted to meet Emma. It was good to get to see her again, and Matt made us a yummy lunch of Chicken Wraps. Plus Jenni's wedding dress came while
I was there. It is gorgeous, and she is going to look beautiful in it. The girls didn't have the same outfits on, but we still couldn't resist taking their pictures together. They didn't seem to thrilled about it, but one day when they are in each other's weddings, they will thank us! (For some reason blogger keeps turning their picture no matter what I do!)
As far as sleeping goes, we are trying something new. I am still trying to get her to sleep in her crib for naps during the day, and for the most part that seems to be going well. When she is more consistent with that, we will transition her over to sleep in her crib at night too. When Shelly came over, she brought with her a little portable bed. We are using it as a co-sleeper and having it in bed with us. That way she is sleeping on her own, but she can still feel/hear/smell us near her. (Both of us usually have a hand on her!) For the most part it seems to be working. We have only tried it 2 nights, and last night we had to start with her and I sleeping on the couch and then putting her in this bed. Robert wishes now we would have gotten the king size bed!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
