Weirdy Wednesday!!!

She still does it! Emmy STILL will just lay down anywhere on what she deems to be her "lovey" at that moment- I love it.

The faces of Ems- LOVE it!

3 years.

Yes, there we were THREE years ago today- I can honestly say that I love J more today than I did on our wedding day (a thing I didn't think possible). The last three years have been full of fun and adventure- and I wouldn't change a thing about them! I am so happy to have such an amazing husband and feel that blessing every day~

Cutie Hair Girl!

Sorry- the internet has been awful again- arrrrg!

We had an especially cute hair day the other day- it had to be captured!

Emmy sat very still because I told her that we would hairspray it afterwards-

this made her oh so happy- she is such a little mouse!

Smelling the hairspray- I thought I was a crazy smeller until I met Jason-- and now Emmy is worse than both of us- ha!

21.5 weeks- 5 months-

Yes folks we are OVER half way there-- hooray!

What I am loving:
my largeness has temporarily plateaued
that she kicks when she is hungry or I've just eaten
that Emmy loves to feel her and then tells her "LOVE YOU"
that I'm in the US and can enjoy pretty much everything
that the holiday season is on it's way!!!
that Jason is always forgetthing that I'm prego...

What I am NOT loving:
that I have to actually go for a walk (instead of that just being a part of the day)
that I am still vomiting a lot
that I sound like an 80 year old smoker~ (I've been calling Penelope "Ursula" because she has stolen my voice)~ my throat is raw from throwing up- waaaa~

You may be asking yourself...

Now that we aren't in Dominica anymore- how are we keeping busy? we are going to Disney... a lot.

we put on lip gloss...a lot of it!

we swim... a lot!

and we sunbathe... a lot! (Daddy joined us for this time and that was GREAT!)

This is Halloween!

We went to Joann Fabrics (love it there!) and found the Halloween section- much to Emmy's delight!

And we tried on EVERY hat they had... here are a few.

She especially loved the kitty-

Sadly- she hated the Angel's halo- hmmmmmm.

The OMORIS!

Our dear friends from Tokyo came to visit us- it was so so fun!

We all went to Epcot together-

They brought Emmy this DARLING Kimono from Japan and made me yakisoba (my favorite) and brought us Japanese candy and some very special presents- Emmy loved them and loved their suitcase almost as much :)

It was an obsession...

The girlies!

Masiyo and Emmy- they were so cute together.

Emmy also loved Atsushi (A-tu-she) and kept calling him "a tu theee" adorable!

Emmy even stayed for the fireworks with Papa and after being nervous about the first boom- loved them and declared them all to be "yellow"- of course she did!

I promise~ my last b day post ;)

Emmy enjoyed my birthday- maybe more than I did!

For the "real" date- J took a break from studying and we split a Cheesecake Factory meal- ahhhh! delish and look- Happy Birthday to me!

What a difference just a few months makes!

Here is Emmy's BABY FACE the night before we left Dominica-

note the chubby little cheeks...

The CRAZY expression has remained- so don't worry!

This is less than 3 months ago-

This is now- (before we spent a few days at the pool)

It's like I'm watching Baby Emmy dissapear before my eyes- I'm not very good at goodbyes and this one has been hard- but I am loving little kid Emmy too- so that makes it easier.

Emmy looked like a big girl on my b day!

Sadly- Emmy's birthday outfit is in Utah- so this cute little number was the birthday outfit for my day...

She is starting to look like a kid-

But she still puts everything in her mouth like a baby- and like her mom and dad- (every pen cap in our house is bitten up by someone!)

Being silly~

She LOVES to play with her hair stuff-

This one is my favorite- you can just hear her saying "cheese"

We are really enjoying these last few months that we have alone with Emmy- she is the delight of our lives :)

Emmy moments

Emmy LOVED playing with the crabs that Uncle Josh cooked for her- it was funny- I have recently seen her bite a milipede in half and kiss a frog- but this crab went no where near her mouth!

Here she is showing you that it pinches-

Not quite sure about that little guy...

Emmy's new thing is phrases- they aren't very clear- but they are VERY cute- she loves to say "I'm going to get you" (in a creepy child of the corn voice) "I love Halloween" (Jason's favorite) and "Here you go"~ she also LOVES to cheer hooray and clap- (my favorite)

Emmy is soooooo happy to have her Daddy back- she couldn't be more delighted-- also she sat in a puddle- it's not pee :)

slam dunk!

I love J's face in this one.

Emmy with her mini me- also known as a baby alive- but the likeness is scary!
