Rolling the other way!

Emily is adding to her bag of tricks. Yesterday she rolled from her back to her tummy. Too bad it seems as though she's almost forgotten how to roll the other direction. Just when she seemed like she had mastered rolling from her tummy to back, she quit doing it. I guess she needs some time to master her new skills.

Emily is on a roll!

Yesterday Emily rolled over for the first time. There were no witnesses, but we know it happened! Her Grandma put Emily in the crib to do some tummy time while she picked out some clothes for Emily to wear that day. When she went back to the crib, Emily was on her back. We tried to do a repeat performance when I got home last night, and while Emily was really close to getting it again, she couldn’t quite roll. Her arm was in the way. Hopefully tonight she’ll show us her new trick when we’re home from work.

Emily's Baptism

This past Saturday, we had Emily baptized at Transfiguration Catholic Church. It was so nice to have our closest family and friends at the special occasion. Emily’s Godparents, Doug and Leslie, were even able to make it all the way from West Virginia. We had a wonderful dinner at our house afterwards, and I owe much credit to both grandmas who did the bulk of the cooking. I couldn’t have done it without them.

Marlee's Baptism

This past weekend we went to Marlee’s baptism. Marlee looked so pretty and was very well behaved! She wasn’t fussy at all. I told Emily to take notes so that she is ready for her baptism in February. At the reception, we were able to visit with Emily’s friends, Sophie, Marlee, and Nathan. Marlee, Emily, and Nathan were all born within 7 weeks of each other.

Meeting cousin Douglas

The week of Thanksgiving, Emily got to meet her cousin Douglas and her Aunt Leslie and Uncle Doug. They came down to visit from West Virginia before heading to see Emily and Douglas’ great-grandmother in St. Augustine. While they were here, we went to the Aquarium for the first time. Douglas loved looking at the fish and otters, and even little Emily seemed to enjoy it! I think she liked the lights the most.

Emily's 1st Out of State Adventure

This weekend we decided to enjoy the fall weather and leaves, so we packed up the car and headed to Blue Ridge, GA for a train trip with Nanna and Poppy. Although this was only a day trip, I felt like I was packing for a week long trip. It's amazing how much stuff you have to bring for such a small child. The train took us along the Toccoa River, just across the state border into Tennessee.
