2 years AND 6 months!!!!!














Today is not only our 2 year anniversary it is also Emmalyns 6 month birthday! The past two years have been a whirlwind for Nathan and I to say the least! A wedding, an apartment, a house, a remodel job (still in progress) and finally a baby! It has been challenging but above all a blessing! Time sure does fly by! Emmalyn is growing so fast and changing right before our eyes. We weighed her at 14.6 lbs and 25 inches long. She goes to her six month check up next week. She is rolling everywhere, sucking her thumb, eating vegetables and a few fruits, kissing, hugging, laughing hysterically, standing up in her bouncy, and drinking out of our glasses with ease! She is so funny and is just so happy all the time (except nap time.) Still no teeth yet, but continues to drool through about 5 or 6 bibs a day. She had a little rash problem under her neck a few weeks ago that lingered for over a month. We took her to see the doctor and they figured it was a skin yeast infection. They gave us an anti fungal prescription that ended up burning her skin! Her rash didn't go away until we stopped all cereal and baby foods. We have slowly been reintroducing veggies and fruits and went back to plain rice cereal instead of oatmeal. So far her rash is still clear! We think maybe it was a reaction to the whole grain oatmeal. She is still sleeping through the night. Sleeping from about 8ish pm to 6ish am. Still doesn't care for baby Einstein too much but loves books and anything on PBS sprout. She constantly has everything in her mouth including her feet. She keeps getting more fun with each new day. Work is still hard for me when I have to be away from her but she seems to do just fine without me! It's hard to believe that six months have already past and two years for Nate and I! We have had an abundance of blessings for the past two years and hope that there are many more in the future!
