Our Emmi was 3 months old on Wednesday, the 22nd. And what a joyful, eventful 3 months it has been! We had a blast spending our first Easter with our baby. Mommy enjoyed getting her dressed up in her pretty Easter dress and bow with her cousin, Rena. We also made our first trip to Nana and Papa's house, our Jeep packed to the ceiling with all our stuff...pack 'n play, stroller, carseat, luggage, and dog crate! It's now become an adventure just to pack the car for a short trip...all part of the fun of having a little one and one of the little things we laugh at about how much our lives have changed...for the better! Emmi also went to her first wedding (Dustin's former golf teammate, Chad Spencer and his girlfriend, Tiffany). I think Emilie was the star of the show, next to the bride! She was so good. Didn't hear a peep out of her during the wedding and she was a trooper being passed around to all the guests who couldn't resist holding her.
Another big step in Emilie's life these days is her start at daycare. Carol is the name of the lady who watches her, and she just adores Emmi. Well, really, who couldn't? :) She really seems to like Carol too...Emmi is happy as a clam when I drop her off and when I pick her up. And mommy just can't get home from work fast enought to see that sweet little face. Funny how things that used to stress me out at work just don't seem all that important anymore!
Emmi is getting bigger and changing everyday. She loves people; loves it when we get really close and talk to her. She smiles, sometimes giggles, and makes those darling baby cooing sounds like she's having a conversation with you. She's a very content baby...so content that Papa says we don't even get credit for being parents! (funny Papa!)
We are so overwhelmed with the joy that Emilie brings us everyday and the joy she brings to everyone around her. Everytime I look at her I feel like my heart might burst. I guess every parent knows that feeling, but after struggling for so long to have her, we just can't believe God gave us the priveledge to be able to feel such joy. We cherish EVERY moment...even the poopie diaper explosions!! Who knew a parent could even find the joy in that? We love you Emmi! :)
