Happy New Year!!

January 2014

Emmalyn was so excited for 2014!  We spent the evening with friends (Grant's boss and his wife and kids) and enjoyed a nice, quiet New Year's Eve!

It's Party Time!

Girl Gone Wiiiiiiild!!!!  Watch that bird you're flipping there, girlie!

Happy New Year.  Bah.  Humbug. :)

Happy New Year!

Playing with Toys...so smart!

Happy Baby!

Sleeeeepy!

Oh. My. Gosh.  Just darling.

Visiting an old co-worker of Mommy's at the Missoula County Fairgrounds!  Hi, Jeri!

Oh, I love my dolly!

Thank you, Uncle Josh and Aunt Lea, for my great outfit!  Aunt Lea got my clothes and Uncle Josh crocheted my amazing hat!

Passed out with Daddy

Emmalyn's new Year's resolution is to do a better job of multi-tasking; sucking on her fingers while picking her nose at the same time!!

On our way up to Lolo Hot Springs to see The Moores!  Emmalyn made it to within a few miles of the Idaho border...but still hasn't been out of MT! January 3, 2014

Mommy and Me Swim Class!  January 6, 2014

Emmalyn LOVES the water.  She floated on her back almost all by herself.  All mommy had to do was hold her hands!  She got dunked for the first time, too!  Total water baby!

Why so sad?!

Emmalyn is playing with her toys like a big girl!!  January 7, 2014

Tummy Time!

Look at that Scratch!

Someone Keeps Trying to Sit up on her Own!!

Dr. Braak (spelling?), the doctor who delivered Emmalyn, was a HUGE fan of Breaking Bad (a very popular TV show).  Emmalyn decided to arrive on the evening of the SERIES finale.  We enjoyed talking to her quite a bit about the plot and characters, etc., as we waited for Emmalyn to be born.  We felt very bad that she had to miss the finale, so we brought her some "Breaking Bad Cookies" as a thank you. :)

Emmalyn and Mommy

Look at that BUTT!!! So cute.

 Hanging out with Maci over at Carter's House.  January 13, 2014

In Georgia, some kids/teachers and adults alike had to stay at school/work overnight because of panic at some snow that had fallen.  Cars were abandoned on the highways, all you-know-what broke loose.  Meanwhile, Grant 'sweeps' snow off of our front walk in shorts and a tank top.  Hmmmm...

Another Big Scratch on my Face!!  But I'm OKAY!!  Look at my TEETH! January 30, 2014
