Life Lately--Catching Up!

Even though we have taken thousands of pictures, I've gotten behind already in documenting them. This post is mainly for us to have these pictures in one place and to try and remember what we've been up to! Emmerson has been busy!

First Halloween--The sweetest pumpkin I ever did see

#1 Panthers fan--loyally cheering them on every Sunday!

                                   Pretty touches coming together in Emmerson's nursery!

We headed to California for Chris and Becca's wedding, and to spend Thanksgiving with our California family!

 

The wedding was beautiful! It was a little loud for baby's ears, but she didn't mind her snazzy headphones.

 

 We drove up the PCH and stopped in Cambria for a night. We dipped baby girl's toes in the ocean for the first time! The Pacific was frigid cold, and Emmerson wasn't super impressed, but it was a sweet memory for us!

 Once we finally made it to Cupertino, Emmerson met her Uncle David, Aunt Tanya, and cousins Adelaide and Scarlett! She was happy to see Nana again and it was so sweet to see the girls enamored with their baby cousin. 

 

 Emmerson also met her Uncle Aaron, Aunt Eva, and cousins Olivia, Honora and Julian. She met all of her west coast people on this trip! 

I think we're caught up through November for now! :) We've never felt more thankful and more blessed in all our lives. Thank you all for continuing to send such sweet words and wishes to our baby girl!

Dear Emmerson--Two Months

Dear Emmerson,

Happy two months, baby doll! You are celebrating today by partying in California for Chris and Becca's wedding! Everyone is so excited to meet you, and you are the best little travel companion. Flying six hours across the country seemed like nothing compared to your 15 1/2 hour flight from Mumbai!

You are such a love and everyday I feel like you're changing and learning new things. You love to smile and your eyes are so bright and alert. At your eight week appointment you weighed in at 9 pounds, 10 oz, 21.5 inches long. Your weight is in the 24th percentile, height in the 16th percentile and head in the 64th percentile! :) We happen to  think you are the most adorable little being we've ever laid eyes on. 

At two months, you love: being held, worn in the carrier, mama's milk, sleeping on mommy's chest, being swaddled at night, smiling, baths, looking at patterns, singing songs, listening to music with daddy.

You dislike: tummy time, not being held. :)

You are such a happy baby. You've been sleeping for longer stretches at night, and have given us as much as 5 1/2 hours in a row. You're very expressive and we can see your sweet personality shining through already. 

You've moved into size 1 diapers and some 0-3 month clothes. The newborn clothes still fit but are a little snug on you, but the 0-3 are still a little big! I'm having the best time dressing you in sweet little outfits all day everyday. Tonight is your first wedding, and we are so excited to spend the week in California meeting family and celebrating your first Thanksgiving!

                         

We are thankful for every minute with you. Keep growing big and strong! We're so proud to be your parents.You light up our whole world. We love you, we love you, we love you so, dear baby.

Love,

Mommy
