Just hangin' around




Emerson and her dad went for their first Baby Bjorn ride the other day. She meets the weight limit (8lbs and up), but her little legs look so scrawny in the photo. Emerson wasn't that impressed with the Baby Bjorn, but she didn't seem to mind it either.

Besides hanging around, Emerson has also been sittin' around. In her Bumbo chair. She likes the Bumbo chair for short periods of time, then the leaning starts and it becomes time for a change of scenery.

Pay no attention to the large cat in the background. That's just Ana Nicole (a big haired Texan) and we are aware that she needs Trim Spa. BABY!

A blog a day....


This is my first experience with my own blog, but I am very experienced with other peoples blogs. In the links section are blogs that I visit everyday. My husband's blog, a cool "Mommy" blog (Chrys & Mike (and Oliver :)) are friends in Dallas (Mike and the Dood met in college)), and Dooce is a blog that I discovered after linking to it off of one of the Mommy blogs. This woman has an incredible blog and is able to support her family from the ads on her blog. I wish I was as smart!

Today in the life of Emerson, she wore a new outfit. Her father picked it out (and put it on her)and it's too big, but adorable. It was given to her by Kris, a grad school chum of mine from Austin. When Kris and I graduated from our Master's program, Kris had received an informal offer to go to Shanghai (as in China) to develop a western curriculum for a nursing school. Seems the Chinese are trying to come out of the dark ages and modernize their medical system. Kris looked at me and said "You are also unencumbered, wanna go to China with me?". I was like "Rock on, that's why I got a masters degree!". After graduation, I didn't hear from Kris for a while and wondered what was up with China. Turns out that great minds think alike, and Kris was doing what I was doing :)....Kris gave birth to Baby Henry a few days after I gave birth to Emerson. We went to Motherhood instead of China.

First Post

This blog was supposed to be started before Emerson arrived. So I am only a little over 2 months late. I have been wanting to start a blog as I think it's a great way to keep in touch and keep people updated in this electronic age. Also, you can do it anytime (i.e. underwear at 3am). This little girl is what has me up at 3am. And for all you mommies, I am going to make you jealous....Emerson sleeps from 8:30pm to 3:00am then up for a bottle and then back down til 7am. At 10 weeks! And YES, she is a Babywise baby. My baby girl is growing up ;(
Look for more Emerson updates, as well as updates on the going's on of the household in general.
Now I am off to sleep...til 3am.
