7 Months Old

Well Mary Emmett is 7 months old today! She thinks she is a lot older! She is sitting up all by herself, she has 2 teeth (finally) on the bottom and one that is coming in on the top. The fussiness and Tylenol nights have ended (thank goodness!) She still likes to put everything in her mouth but I am hoping the worst of the teething has come and gone! She is still talking lots and she hasn't quite pulled herself up or crawled but she is definitely trying to figure it out! I will put her down on her play gym mat and come back in the room and she is 10 feet away from it. She just rolls everywhere. Its really funny because she doesn't roll in a continuous motion. She rolls half of the way...stops...then rolls the rest of the way. Its very cute. She is still loving all the food I give her and I haven't found anything she doesn't like!

In other news, Mary Emmett is about to be a big city girl! We are moving Sept 28th to NYC! We are going for 14 months for Robbie's job. It will be a fun adventure for all of us. I have already found several things to do with Mary Emmett while we are there. We are going to take several classes at this place I found and hopefully we will meet other mothers and kids there!


Here are some pics of her recently. Enjoy!

6 Months!

Well I can't believe it! Mary Emmett is a half of a year old. Its amazing how time has flown by! We went to her check up yesterday. Everything was great. She was 19lbs, 28.5 inches long! Off the charts in height and 95% in weight. She has stayed pretty consistent in the 95% for things! She has been teething so that has been sort of challenging just trying to keep her happy especially in the middle of the night. The Tylenol really seems to help with that and I think we have a good routine going. I haven't seen any teeth but I know they are coming. She puts everything directly into her mouth including my fingers and she bites hard! Also, she finally rolled over. We were so proud of her! Better late than never! She can almost sit up on her own now which will be fun so she doesn't just lay all the time. She is enjoying all of the fruits and vegetables I have made her. She has liked everything except applesauce. I have been surprised that she liked even the veggies that weren't sweet. I thought she might have a sweet tooth like her mama but turns out she likes anything. I guess we are lucky she isn't picky. She loves her Exersaucer and plays in it multiple times per day. I guess thats about it for the updating. Here is a picture of her at 6 months!

Update!

It has been a while since I have posted anything. We have been busy! We went to the beach again for the 4th of July! She still loves the water. She had a great time in MiMi and Papa Doc's pool and then we went down to the ocean 2 times. It was a lot easier having Robbie there to help me tote everything down. The ocean was perfect with little shallow "pools" that the sand had formed so we put her in that and she loved it. We also got this cool kit with plaster to make her footprint out of sand so we did that. I dont have a picture but it was really neat and such a good keepsake of her first visit! Anyway, she is just growing like a weed! She is also teething and I have had to start giving her Tylenol at night before she goes to bed to help her sleep. She has always been such a great sleeper but she started waking up like 2 times a night and I took her to the doctor and they told me she was hungry and teething! Hungry-ha! So now I am giving her oatmeal 3 times a day and fruit 2 times a day. So far she has loved bananas, pears, and sweet potatoes. She didn't like applesauce but maybe its because I dont like it either! ;) After I uped the amount of food and gave her Tylenol, she is back to sleeping 7-7 which mama loves!
Here are some pics of the last couple of weeks!
(I have tried 3 times to upload pics...I will try again later!)

21 Weeks!

Here are some pictures at 21 weeks old! I can't believe she will be 5 months old on Monday! Time has gone by so fast!!!!!!! I am excited about what time will bring! She seems to discover something new everyday!

Merritt and Mary Emmett!

Beach Trip

Mary Emmett had her first beach trip! It was a lot of fun. She loved the pool and water!

18 Weeks

Here are some pics of Mary Emmett at 18 weeks! She has found her feet, its really cute watching her play with them. Also, we tried rice cereal this week. It is so funny watching her try to figure out what is going on. I think she likes it because everytime I would take the spoon out of her sight she would whine. haha. I love helping her discover new things!

4 months old!

It has been a long time since my last post. We were in Atlanta for much of May. First, Mary Emmett got baptized at our church in Douglasville. Then we stayed the whole next week to help my mom get things ready for Travis and Molly's wedding. It was Mary Emmett's first wedding and she did great! I took her around in her precious party dress and let everyone see her. She just smiled and I think she liked the band (as did her mother!) Then the next day after the wedding my Papa passed away so we ended up staying another week for all of those events. Then we met Robbie in Columbus, MS for JD's wedding! It was a fun filled couple of weeks. Today she had her 4 month check up. She weighed 17lbs 6 oz (95%) and was 27 inches long (97%)! She had to get some shots and she sort of whined and then she started smiling and laughing! Such a little angel, all she is missing is her halo! ;)

Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks!

3 Months Old!

We went to Atlanta for the weekend and Mary Emmett got to play with her cousin Samantha! They had the best time! Samantha is 4 weeks older than Mary Emmett and Mary Emmett it bigger than her!

Here is a picture of Mary Emmett at 3 months old! I can't believe she is that old!

While we were home, Maw Maw turned 80! We had a party with all of the family. Here is a picture of Maw Maw with her granddaughters and great granddaughters!

Mary Emmett is growing like a weed! She didn't have a 3 month appointment with the doctor so I dont know how much she weighs or how long she is. I can tell she has definately grown in both though. She hasn't rolled over or anything yet. The most exciting thing she does is when she drops her passy, if it is on her chest or arm she will sort of push it up to her mouth. So smart! I love watching her try to get it!

11 Weeks!

Here are some pictures of Mary Emmett, 11 weeks old! I can't believe she is almost 3 months old. Time has gone by so quickly!

Easter and 10 Weeks!

We went home for Easter and had the best time! Here are some pictures of Mary Emmett during her first Easter!

Right before we went to see the Easter Bunny.

10 Weeks Old Photoshoot

2 Month Checkup

Mary Emmett had her 2 month checkup yesterday! She weighed in at 13 lbs and 6 ounces (95% percentile) and was 24.5 inches long (97% percentile!) She gained 2 pounds and grew 2 inches since our last visit! I couldn't believe it! She still seems like the little 8 pounder that she was when she was born to me! Other than that she had her 2 month shots which I was really worried about. The first one she only sort of cried and the second one she screamed! So she cried all the way until we got in the car and then was sort of fussy last night. Then I put her to bed around 8:30 and she didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning! 10 HOURS!! I guess I don't hate taking her to get those shots after all! haha!
Here are some pictures of her at 9 weeks!

7 and 8 Weeks

I didnt post last week when she turned 7 weeks so here are some 7 and 8 week pictures!

7 Weeks and Happy Easter!

8 Weeks

6 Weeks

Here are some pictures of Mary Emmett at 6 weeks old!

Atlanta Trip

We had a great time in Atlanta! Mary Emmett slept longer than she has ever slept there! I guess she liked sleeping in her mommy's old crib! We were very busy and she met tons of people! Of course everyone loved her and she was soooo good during all of our running around and parties. The highlight of the trip was when she met Samantha Rose her best friend! It was so neat Dan held Samantha up to see Mary Emmett and they grabbed each others hand! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Katie and I could not believe it. Here are some pictures from the trip.

too cute!

Mary Emmett just looked so cute in this outfit that my cousins gave her. I had to take some pictures. Today she officially 5 weeks! Time has gone by so fast!


We are headed to Atlanta this weekend and for all of next week to house hunt, go to some parties for Travis and Molly, and meet Mary Emmett's prearranged best friend, Samantha Rose. Its going to be so fun! I will post pics once we get back!

5 Weeks

Today we went to the one month doctors appointment. Mary Emmett weighed 11lbs (which is 95% percentile) and was 22 inches long (75% percentile). I guess the milk is working! Ha! Here are some pictures of her today before we went to the doctor. She is smiling because she didn't know she was going to get a shot at the doctor. She didn't like it but she was over the pain pretty quick so that made it a little easier for me to bear. She's such a good, strong, and healthy girl! We are so blessed and thankful for the good report!


Mary Emmett witnessed her first snow day! We got about 6 inches in Memphis last Saturday! Here is a picture of her daddy and her in the snow!

4 Weeks! (Almost)

Here is a new picture of Mary Emmett at 4 weeks! (Well 3 weeks 6 days!) We go to the doctor on Tuesday for her month checkup. It will be interesting to see how much she has grown!

3 Weeks Old!

Mary Emmett is 3 weeks old! I can't believe how time has flown. It actually makes me sad that she is getting older! I don't want her to get bigger! We had a little "photo shoot" the other day. (The joys of staying at home!) Here are some pictures. I am not a professional photographer, obviously but they are still cute! Her little outfit was so big on her so she actually looks bigger than she really is but you can get the idea!

First Photo Shoot!

My friend Katy Southern came over from Nashville yesterday to take some pictures of Mary Emmett! Here are some of them! Katy is so creative and did a wonderful job!

SHE'S HERE!

Sorry for the delayed post. I have been quite busy! Mary Emmett was born on Jan 29th at 3:43 pm. She weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 21 inches long. She is healthy, perfect, and beautiful. Here are some pictures. I will post more later! Thank you for all your prayers!!!!!
