Here are some more pictures of Emma.  My mom is the picture queen so I always get my best shots of her when she is around.  She is three months old in these pictures.

Aren't I cute??

Look at my cute boots.....
I am a very happy baby...

Look, I have pockets........
Did I do that?????

Look at my new coat...




Mom had to give me a bath in the sink.  Don't I look too big?  I was a trooper though, no complaining.....

Time With Family

In October, Emma and I took a trip to San Diego to attend my grandmother's (Mamus) memorial service.  Though the reason for the trip was unfortunate, we were able to see my family along with some friends while we were there.  Here are some pictures from our trip...

Emma and Grandma Holly....

Southern California Beach

When we were in California, we were able to visit my Aunt Porky (long story but she asked us to call her that when we were little) and my cousins Lianne and Emily.  I hadn't seen Lianne since my sisters wedding and I had never met Emily so I was so excited that I was able to see them.  They loved "bebe Emma" as she was called by Emily.....

Emma in her beach gear.  We headed down to the beach for the afternoon.


Tummy time!  She is doing great on her tummy.  Really up and looking around.
Grandma and her girls at the beach...
Bathtime.  The girls wanted to give Emma a bath, which she loved.  As you can see, she was the center of attention for the whole visit.

Two month checkup

Emma weighed 13lb 8 oz and was 24 3/4 inches at her 2 month checkup. She is still in the 90th percentile on height and weight and is growing fast.

She is starting to use her legs to scoot around on her back but hasn't attempted a roll over yet. She is a very good baby, easy going and easy to please. We have been very blessed.

We have continued to have monthly pictures taken by Greg Phipps. If you would like to see these go to: http://phippsphoto.instaproofs.com and look for Emma - 1 mo old and Emma - 2 mo. old.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Trip to VA Beach

A couple of weeks ago, we (Greg, Angie, John and I) took Emma to VA beach to visit our friends (Danny and Jessica) that had moved up there from Greensboro.  We had a great time and Emma got to "play" with her friend Rhyan for the first time.  

A Visit from Auntie Heidi

This last week Auntie Heidi came to visit for the week. We had such a great time playing with Emma and shopping for Heidi's maternity clothes (Emma is going to have a cousin from the Stagge side in March!).  She loved her auntie and was very sad to see her go (and so were we :))

A day at the Beach!

Our friends, Mike and Amanda visited us from Washington and we took Emma on her first trip to the beach.  She loved kicking around on a towel in her diaper with the ocean breeze.  We had a wonderful visit with our good friends :)

6 weeks old

Emma is already 6 weeks old and weighs 11 pounds 8 oz and is 23 inches long. She is growing so fast!  We got our first "social smile" this week and now she is flashing us her gummy smiles all the time.  She is a very happy baby and loves being cuddled.

First Photo Shoot

At 1 week old, in great Stagge fashion, Emma had her first photo shoot. Our friend Greg Phipps is a wonderful photographer and took some great pictures of our family. Here are a few of my favorites.....
