4 months

My little E turned 4 months old today. 

how in the world did this happen?
her laugh is infectious!

It's been another long week at the Caldwell residence with Clark traveling.  These two cuties sure miss their dad (as does their mother)

this is the scene i came across a couple of nights ago about an hour after i put Abbie to bed.  What in the world? yes, that is a circle of undies (including the pair she was supposed to be wearing)

Abbie is finishing up her 2 week swim class and has really enjoyed it.  She is definitely a fish.  She insisted i buy her the "special swim glasses" aka goggles!

 

 Emma Jo is getting so old! she's starting to grab things and roll from tummy to back.  slow down little gal!

Happy Father's Day

just for fun

Being a mom is hard.
really hard.but i sure love these ragga-muffins

little prayers

Abbie says the sweetest prayers. She has started saying all the prayers at our house and listening to them is one of the best parts of my day.
Tonight she said the prayer at bedtime and here's a little piece of the goodness

"... thank you for the tree with the fruit (we had just read about the Tree of Life in her scripture book),
please bless daddy to be safe in dahoo (haha, he's in Idaho for work),
please bless baby sister to sleep real good,
please bless mama to not get mad when i get out of my bed,
please bless me to stay in my bed..." isn't she great!

3 months

Yesterday Emma Jo turned 3 months.
Here's some info about our little gal

Emma is a rock-star sleeper. She has been from the start. but lately she's been heading to bed around 10 and sleeping til at least 9. a few days ago she slept from 9:30 pm til 12:30 the next afternoon.Emma is super happy (possibly related to the before mentioned rock-star sleeping) It is so fun to see her big smiles and she is starting to giggle and it's hilarious. Clark and I are constantly trying to get her to laugh, but it's mostly Abbie who gets her laughing.




Emma is our little redhead! It's a really pretty color and I hope it stays (surprising coming from me who doesn't like my red hair). her hair is not only red, but crazy - it stands straight up all the time, i used to try and get it to lay flat - but have since embraced the mohawk (Abbie's hair did the same thing - they get it from their dad)
Emma LOVES her big sister Abbie. Abbie is constantly in Emma's face and I am CONSTANTLY telling Abbie to "leave Emma alone" - but all the while Emma just smiles and giggles at Abbie. There is an age difference between them, but i really hope these two can be best buds.
Emma sucks on her bottom lip - and hums. It's really random and i have yet to catch it on video, but i'm trying :)

We haven't decided if Emma's eyes are going to be blue or brown yet - they are still in between. some days they look blue and others they are golden brown.

Emma sucks on her fist - and gags herself trying to fit the entire thing in her mouth.

Emma LOVES bath time.

We have been spending quite a bit of time outside the past few weeks and Emma really likes it. I think she's going to be an outside girl like her sister.
Emma is such a sweet baby and we are so blessed to have her in our family - Happy 3 months Em!
