Who do I look like?

We decided to post some baby pictures of Matt and I and then have everyone vote as to who Emma Kate looks more like. We both have similar features and so it might be close. Make sure you leave a comment and let us know what you think. Have fun!

Big Brother Ashton

My Aunt Abbey has gone home and she is having withdrawal from seeing me and so I need to have more pictures of me regularly posted. This picture is of me and my big brother Ashton. He loves me so much and is my protector. He is very good around me and is very calm. He doesn't try to get in my space and knows that he is not allowed on my mat. Although he is very good around me, Mommy is always very close when I am within reach of him. I know that we will grow up and be great friends. Love you all!

What a fun week!

I have had such a fun week with Aunt Abbey! We have played and I have had my first laughs. I have been awake a lot and enjoyed having so many people talk to me. I also tried on my running shoes. I can't wait until I am old enough to RUN!!! We have had several friends bring us dinner and Mommy and Daddy appreciate it soooooooo much! We feel so loved even though we are far from our families. Thank you to everyone that has come by to meet me. I have a picture of one of my friends, Vivi, and her mom, Leanna. Mommy and Daddy went to high school with Vivi's Mommy and Daddy. We love having Alabama friends in Yuma. There have been requests to see pictures of my room. Enjoy and I will write again soon!

Aunt Abbey is here!

Yeah! My Aunt Abbey is here. She says that I am in perfect health and growing beautifully. She and Uncle Warren gave me my first bible and I love it. The last two days I have enjoyed being awake more. There are so many new things to see. Thanks for checking up on me!

Happy Easter!

I thought that some of you might like to see me in my Easter dress. Gran Gran sent me an Easter lamb and G-Daddy sent me a satin blanket bear. I love them both and think they are perfect for Easter. I also want to show off my Gigi. She has been out here all week and had to go home today. We will miss her very much and were sad to see her leave. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter and remembers the reason we celebrate.

Love,

Emma Kate

I'm Growing!

I am growing big and strong. I had a doctor's appointment today and I weigh 5 pounds and 11 ounces. They said that I look nice and healthy. I am trying to stay awake more although sometimes this big world just wears me out! Thank you all for checking up on me and for all your wonderful comments. It feels so good to be loved by so many wonderful people. I love you all and hope you enjoy my new pictures!

Love,

Emma Kate

Daddy is so funny!

Mommy and Daddy are starting to get the hang of this parenting thing!

Emma Kate's 1st Bath

Today I had my 1st bath and I didn't like very much. All I want to do is sleep, because I am growing big and strong. Mommy Daddy and Gigi are taking good care of me and I look forward to meeting you all someday soon. Love Emma Kate

My Daddy's the Best!

Thank you Gigi, G-Daddy, Uncle Nelson and Aunt Sarah for my flowers and balloons.

Thank you Gran-Gran, Grand Daddy, and Aunt Deborah for my flowers and the blessing ring. I feel so loved!

Yeah, Gigi is here to help Mommy!
