My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I am no longer a teen...I turned 20! My mom came to babysit Em and Christopher and I went to dinner at Chili's and walked at the outlets for a bit. It was nice. I didn't get as anxious as I thought I would, but it was only 2 hours.

My husband got me beautiful flowers and...the most amazing picture of the sacramento temple. It is panaramic and looks antique, and looks great above our couch! It was hanging when we got home, because Erick hung it. Feels more like home.....

Christmas Party

Saturday was the Ward Christmas Party. I had lots of fun. But it was extremely tiring because my family is on the committee so we were working all day. The quiche was so good!! Mmm breakfast for dinner....
We were asked to portray Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the live nativity. I enjoyed myself. Met some very wise men ;) Emery did so well. She was awake for a little while but eventually fell asleep in the manger. The bishop said that a lady asked him why we decided to use a plastic baby? That's how good she did...

They had a vintage sleigh at the building to take pictures. So we did. I love my husband and my little angel.

Our Christmas Tree

We got a christmas tree! We didn't get one last year so i was extremely excited. It smells so good!

Legwarmers

I bought legwarmers for Emery. Aren't they adorable? Still a bit big, but that means they will fit longer!

Emery's Blessing

Sunday was Emery's baby blessing. It was great to have family come to church and get together afterwards. It was beautiful. Christopher was so nervous. Her grandma bought her a beautiful blessing dress that looked gorgeous on her, as well as a blanket and some shoes. The shoes were adorable, and she really was wearing them under the dress!


The men who helped bless my little baby was Christopher, Papa, Papu, Jeff, Greg, Matt, and Erick.

Here is our little family and our blessed daughter. I am so proud of our little family and I was so happy this day.

Here is Emery with Auntie Sammi, my younger sister.

I can't help but love MY little blessing...

Recalled

Our crib got recalled. How frusturating is that....and i'll tell you why.

In February, when we found out that I was pregnant we thought.."Let's buy a crib right now. I know its early, but let's buy it to make it easier on us and while we have the money."
key word: easier

And everyone kept asking if i needed anything big for the baby, and we didn't. Now we do. We have to find a new crib. And it's not any easier.

How did I have such big baby?

I took Emery to the doctor's today...she hasn't been in 5 weeks, since she was only 9 days old. She now weighs 12 pounds 14 ounces. That isthe 99 percentile for her age! I think it's amazing that such a big girl came from me. Not that she was that big born...but still. I know she's big but shes also proportionate so the doctor isnt worried at all. I can put her in 3-6 month clothes now!

She got some vaccines today. In both thighs...poor thing. She barely ever cries so it was hard for me to see her crying and know that feeding her wouldnt make it go away. But I knew she was kind of hungry so I nursed her anyway, and she fell asleep. The nurse gave me some tylenol for her, so hopefully she wont be too fussy in the next few days.

Her cousin Ethan has had a hard time gaining weight. He was born 7 lbs 4 oz and after a month was only 7 lbs 5 oz. But today he is well over 8 pounds, and so good news for him as well.

Speaking of all this baby news, Amelia had her baby last night! A big baby too...8 lbs 10 oz. Mason Scott...I went to visit her but didn't get to see him because he wasn't in the room. I'll go visit again later today but I've heard he is beautiful and I definately believe that. Also, he has a normal 10 fingers and 10 toes...we really thought he'd be webbed but he lucked out. =]
