Lunch time



Since it is christmas break and Brandon is off of school, he is able to help alot with Emma. So that means mommy gets to work alot more! The best part of my day is when baby and daddy bring me lunch and we get to hang out before I see my afternoon patients. Emma loves getting to spend her days with her daddy and I know she will miss it when school starts up again in a couple weeks!

Four month old girl!!






Baby Emma turned four months on December 20th, 2008!!!

Sippy cup


So we decided to start giving Emma some breast milk in a sippy cup since she keeps shoving her hands onto our plates of food during meal times. She totally knew what it was before I even handed her the cup and was so excited to be a big girl drinking from a cup! Now she gets her cup every dinner time so she can eat with mommy and daddy!! Its so cute! Being a mom is the best!

Baby's first jazz game




Ok, I know. Who takes their four month old baby to a jazz game? In December?! haha, that's right, US! I was pretty skeptical about it at first, but we decided to buy Emma some ear muffs to mute out the noise, and she did just great! We met up with some of Brandon's school friends at Rumbi's in gateway for some pre-game food and then walked over to the ESA to watch the game. We left at half time cuz we had to get Emma home and to bed. Overall, the highlight of the night was all the crazy looks we got from people who were noticing Emma's ear muffs! We probably will not take her to another jazz game until she is a little older!

Well the past two weeks have been super full of fun and family. So, I decided that instead of a billion little posts, I would just post a slide show! So in the pics you will see our pics with santa- or at least the cousins getting ready for their pics.
My sister in law, Sharee and my mother in law and I decided that we would start hiding veggies in our meals we make for our families and we got Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook. So we spent all afternoon one day pureeing beets, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots and butternut squash. Last night I made turkey noodle soup and put in cauliflower, carrot and sweet potato puree and it was delicious!
This past week we also had two thanksgivings with our families. My family drove in from South Carolina and it was a really fun week. Emma had her blessing last sunday as well. All in all, it was a really fun thanksgiving and brandon and I celebrated our three year anniversary!

Daddy's girl!




We all know how little girls love their daddies, but our little girl is just totally crazy for her daddy! She loves to give him smiles and will catapault herself out of my arms and onto him whenever she gets the chance!

Emma loves her toys!
















Emma loves to play with her toys. She could spend all day rotating from her swing, to her bouncer to her lion toy that makes noise. She loves to play...as long as she can still see mommy while she is playing (which means I still can't get anything done!)

Bumbo


My awesome sister in law, Sharee let us borrow her little boy Brady's bumbo chair for Emma. And she loves it!! She is such a good girl and sits and tries to play with her toys. This is nice for me cuz I can try to get some laundry and dishes done while she is playing! She also loves those toys that make the crinkly sound but I can't find them anywhere, if anybody knows where to find them, let me know!

Yesterday baby and mom went shopping for baby's first winter coat. We looked at alot of different coats, but finally settled on the pink one with a furry collar of course! She loves it and now will be all toasty warm for winter. Of course, the coat is a 12 month size and baby emma is only three months old! haha..it fits her great though, I have a super human growing baby girl!

Baby loves daddy!







We love saturday mornings in the Martin Family. Mostly because we get to all sleep in and enjoy the whole day together as a family. This morning I was lucky enough to catch daddy and baby cuddling and yawning together at the same time! It was too cute! Then we went on a walk to get smoothies and......adopted another kitty for our little jay jay to love. What a fun day!

Emma is now 11 weeks old! She is growing like a weed and is already wearing six to nine month size clothes! She has recently learned to roll over and looks like she is getting ready to start crawling. I swear my baby really is six months old, not two and a half months old!

Baby Girl!


Ok, I know I am the biggest slacker when it comes to posts. But now that baby emma has arrived, I will try to do better! Baby Emma was born 8/20/2008 and we have loved every minute of having our sweet baby girl in our little family! She is a really happy baby!

Brandon and I are expecting our first baby in August of this year!! We are so excited! We are currently three months along. I am so excited to be out of the first trimester!! The morning sickness and heartburn are finally starting to slow down! It's really nice. We will keep posting about the pregnancy and hopefully put up some pics soon, although I don't really look pregnant, I just look like I have been eating too many donuts! haha
