10 Months Old

Our sweet little girl is officially in double digits as of June 5th!  I can't believe how quickly her first birthday is approaching!  She has the biggest, toothy grin!

Emery is now crawling (as of May 26/27) and is all over the place….we can't keep her out of stuff.  She is also starting to pull herself up on things!  

We are slowly starting the process of taking away her bottles.  She does great drinking out of a sippy cup and using a straw, but will not drink milk out of either of those.  We've taken away her mid-afternoon bottle, so she is now down to 3 bottles a day of breastmilk.  She loves to eat, but is starting to show some preference towards things.  She isn't a huge fan of bread or eggs.  Some of her favorites are mac and cheese (she looooves this), meatloaf, green beans, yogurt, bananas, goldfish, hot dogs and veggie straws.  

Emery still loves bath time and loves being in a pool.  Connor can always get a smile out of her and she is always giving him kisses or hugs when he's around him.  She is very attached to me and is constantly whining for me when she sees me…even if Scott has her.  She loves playing with balls and giving kisses and hugs.  Emery will occasionally dance to music.  She babbles constantly and has a very loud voice!!  

Emery's sleeping has been somewhat inconsistent due to teeth and being sick.  She has 4 teeth, but we think she's working on #5 and #6.  She's been waking up around 6:15ish and goes to bed at 7 each night.  She takes a longer morning nap and shorter afternoon nap.  

These photoshoots are starting to get very difficult….
Happy 10 months, pretty girl!!

Indy 500

Scott, Elli and Connor went to the Indy 500 a few weeks ago.  It was Elli and Connor's first trip and it couldn't have gone any better.  Emery and I decided to stay here and we also had a good weekend!  It was so nice to just be able to focus on just her for a few days!  Scott and the kids woke up early Sunday morning to meet his dad, brother, Vander and Dane.  Connor slept for about an hour during the race, but Elli stayed awake the whole day.  They made it back home that night around 9:00.  

Both kids had a great time!  Connor is now all about race cars and plays with his cars probably everyday.  He has now decided he wants a race car birthday party instead of a pirate party :)  I'm pretty sure from now on our memorial weekend will include a trip to Indianapolis for the 500.

Here are pictures from the day:

Preschool Programs

I absolutely love going to see the kids' in their preschool programs!  They both had their programs on May 13th.  Connor's started at 6:30 and Elli's started at 7:30.  Elli walked around for weeks singing her songs.  When we would ask Connor what he was singing, he would say 'Jingle Bells.'  He sang 'Jingle Bells' during his Christmas program…we were a little worried he didn't know any of the songs he was singing for the end of the year program, but sang each one of them on stage!! They both did such a great job!  We were so proud of them!  













And just like that, preschool is over and summer is here!!  

Last Day of School 2015

I can't believe that the kids have already finished up their preschool year.  They both had such a great year!  Connor's last day was May 12th and Elli's was May 13th!

I can't believe Elli is moving on to Kindergarten in the fall!  It doesn't seem possible that she is already old enough to go!  Here is her picture on the first day of Pre-K….
