I have been giving baby Emmie a lot of tummy time lately and (thanks to a smaller head than Will) she actually seems to really like it!
Remember a few days ago how I was talking about personal space? Ha ha well tonight things got even better. While I was putting Emmie to bed Will snuck out of his room and into the
nursery and wanted me to hold him. I just couldn't say no to my
handsome little man so I managed to squeeze him and Emmie in together
and got them BOTH to sleep!
The other day while I was cleaning I came across a Thomas computer game that I had picked up months ago. I installed it and showed Will how to use the mouse pad on my laptop and let him have at it on my laptop since its on its way out anyway. I was amazed at how fast he figured everything out and when I tried to play I had to have him help me! Crazy! Well anyway the point of this post is that now Will is obsessed with the game and now only refers to Thomas as "Thomas the Tank Engine Puffing Along". It's pretty funny. He also still insists on hanging out in his undies most of the day :)
We finally decided we have had enough of the Trailblazer and its frequent breakdowns this past year. With two kiddos we just needed to have something more reliable but I was being so resistant since we just bought Mike a new car a few months ago! It is crazy to go from NO car payments to suddenly TWO! Needless to say I can't wait to get them payed off again :). But I am so excited to have my brand new GORGEOUS and most importantly RELIABLE Jeep!!!
One of the most interesting times of our days now are when I am nursing Emmie, which all you nursing moms can appreciate. Will (knock on wood) has been pretty good and hasn't gotten into too much trouble but sometimes he insists that he sit on the ottoman in Emmie's room or climb all over my legs while I nurse. Its fun........okay it's pretty darn challenging at times! On one hand its so sweet that Will wants to be right with us but on the other its super hard not to get annoyed and I am wondering when I get my personal space back :) ha ha not for a long time I'm sure! Today Will was playing under my legs between the rocker and ottoman and when I finished nursing I was surprised to find Will totally asleep!
One of the fun things about having Caralee take Emmie's newborn pics is that our sweet baby Emmie gets to be used as a model for some of her online prop connections websites! So cute and so fun!
Will comes up with the funniest things to entertain himself lately! Today while I was nursing Emmie he asked if he could go play in the backyard so I moved to our bedroom so I could keep an eye on him from the window. He could hear our neighbors playing so I guess he decided to try and climb the fence to go play with them! It was so funny because he was trying everything he could think of to climb over :)
Since I haven't blogged about any of my crafty projects lately I thought I would post a quick pic of the adorable cradle bedding Stacy helped me redo for Emmie. I LOVE how it turned out!!! Its all out of minky fabric and the owl sheet is actually a blanket instead of a fitted sheet so baby Emmie can have a cute cuddly blanket too!
With approval from Dr Allred we decided to start Emmie on some yummy rice cereal this week! She is growing up so fast and is such a little doll!
Since I am desperately trying to get caught up on blogging I have decided to continue posting current updates as well as working on catching up July and August so hopefully this can help me stay current :).
We just got home from a few fun days in Idaho Falls and had so much fun with the Thompson's as usual. It was also a great way to break in the new Jeep!

My Mom was still in town so she helped me clean my entire house and pack while Mike met with some clients in the morning. It was so much help!!! There is nothing better than coming home to a clean house so thanks a bunch Mom! On the drive to IF Will INSISTED on bringing my laptop with his new Thomas game and was quick to put on the headphones while Emmie cried at first. It was too cute!
