Purple Girly!

Emerson wore this cute outfit to church yesterday, and I just think it's so darling!

So basically, this post is just a picture dump of Emerson... because she is so cute!

yay!


And she's on the cute blanket that my friend Megan made for her!! Thanks Megan! :)






A sort of blurry smile one... but it's just to prove that she can smile (except for when there's a camera around!)


And some tummy time! Which she still hates quite a lot....

Cornbelly's!!

This past weekend Emerson and I got to tag along with my family to Cornbelly's! :)

It's such a cute place (although probably a little more appropriate for the 3-7 year old crowd, rather than for 16 year olds.  Sorry Cam! haha)

We did the big corn maze, and my dad was the lucky one who got to carry her through the whole thing.  Luckily we had Camden and Brenner there with their awesome sense of direction so it didn't take us TOO long to get out.  haha!

We also watched Bren do all of the other awesome things there! 

We had a lot of fun, and Emerson got to show off her cute little Halloween outfit that her Grandma made for her!  She sure is lucky to have a grandma who spoils her so much.  :)

Yes... I do think that's a look of fear on her face. Probably because of the massive thing on her head!  haha!!

And here she is totally distracted by the fun pattern on her skirt... I'm pretty sure she was in the process of trying to figure out how to get the skirt into her mouth.  That's her new favorite thing.

Emerson and Uncle Brenner by the pumpkins! :)

My cute girl hanging out in the stroller!

Three Months Old!!

Seriously, how did this happen?!!?

She's so big already....


It honestly feels like only yesterday that we found out that I was pregnant... and now we have the sweetest little baby.

She has seriously been SUCH A FUN BABY!!

Although the last few days.... she's really been not having the greatest time sleeping.  Which makes my brain feel like pudding... Like last night, when she didn't want to go to sleep until 2 in the morning!

ugh!

It's ok though, I just kept telling myself that this wouldn't last forever and that I should appreciate the late nights with my little lady.  It also helps that she's pretty easy on the eyes.  That makes looking at her through sleep-deprived eyes at least sorta better.




Emerson just recently found her hands... and boy, does she loooove them.  I'm pretty sure that if she could name her best friends, she would say her hands.

Well, either her hands or the light above her swing.  She REALLY REALLY likes the light above her swing...

Little Miss E seriously is one of the happiest babies ever!  (Well, ok, I don't have a TON of experience with babies... but I do know that she's pretty dang happy.. and that it really takes a lot for her to actually cry.  Like when she's being swaddled for bed....).



She also loves standing, and that's usually all she needs to be happy all day long... well, that and eating.  We musn't forget that.  Her favorite thing... ha!

Emerson loves sitting in her Bumbo chair and in her little bouncy chair.  I think it's because it means that she can look around more, and there are just so many awesome things to look at around our apartment, so I can't say that I blame her. :)



Welp, I seriously can't think of anything else to say right now... my mind is in a fog.  (I'm having flashbacks of those first few weeks of E's life.)

Oh, I can hear the Lady waking up from her nap.  Guess I better end this now.

I can't think of a clever way to end this post... uh... so here's another picture of E.



You're welcome!





(Did this post even make sense...?  My brain feels broken.)

Our Life Lately

So... it's been a while.

I know, I know... I fail at this whole blogging thing! But! I will try really really really hard to be better.

I'm serious this time.

In case anyone still reads this blog I'll just do a quick update on what's been going on in the Cunningham household the past few months.  So here is the Readers Digest version (as I randomly think about it... so good luck following along):

- Emerson gets cuter every day! I'm serious!  We also fall more and more in love with her every day.  Which, I know is what EVERYONE says and it's so cliche, but it's hard not to fall in love with this cute girly.  She's awesome.

- E has been sleeping through the night since like 6-ish weeks!  She now goes to bed at about 11 (I know, it's so late... but no matter what we do or try she won't go to bed til 11) and then she doesn't wake up until 10 or 11 in the morning, although she normally will eat at about 6 am and then fall right back to sleep.  I've pretty much decided that she takes after her dad's hatred of early mornings.  He's also more of a night owl.  The 2 of them are capable of staying up waaaay later than me.  I like to be in bed by 10, or earlier.

-  We blessed Emerson on September 4th!  Ammon did a BEAUTIFUL job.  It was a wonderful day with lots of our family and friends.  Emerson didn't cry during her blessing or poop on her dress.  Those were the only two things I wanted for that day.  And she managed to pull through for me.  That's my girl.  (Hopefully I'll do a post later just about her Blessing Day because that is worthy of it's own post.)

-  Ammon got a new job! Woohoo!  It definitely makes him hate life less, which in turn makes me hate life less. ;)  So we are now a non life-hating family over here.

-  Ammon and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on October 9th!  I seriously can't believe it's been 2 years already... although sometimes I can't believe it's only been 2 years, it feels like we've been married FOREVER (in a good way of course).  We even left Emerson with a sitter for the very first time (Thanks Sarah!) and she was a champ!  She didn't even cry.. or probably miss us.  Although we missed her very very much.  I had to laugh at the fact that our first time away from her in almost 3 months and we spent a good chunk of it talking about how awesome Em is.  Oh, parenthood....

-  Emerson has had a blocked tear duct in her left eye since she was born.  It's sort of gross, and makes her look like she's got some sort of nasty disease oozing out of her face.  It's really quite sad.  Although luckily for her her Grandpa is an Optometrist and has gotten her some drops... even though it sucks putting them in.  I'm sure it hurts me more than her though.

-  Ammon and I got a new calling in church.  We are now the ward librarians.  Oh yeah... apparently they do give that calling to people under the age of 85.  It's a good place to be.  We get to ring the bell at the end of class.  We have so much power... we're trying to keep it from going to our heads.

-  Emerson and I got to spend 5 days down in Monroe babysitting my brothers/her uncles.  (Well, really we were just there for Brenner... and to keep the other two in line of course).  It was a lot of fun and Emerson was exhausted at the end of every day thanks to all of the Brenner love she was getting.  He sure does love his 'Em-uh-son'.

-  Emerson is just starting to laugh!!!! Oh, it's the best thing ever!!  Ammon and I make fools of ourselves constantly trying to get a chuckle out of her... or just a half-grin even.  It's especially great when we do it out in public... and child-less people stare at us in horror.  It's ok though, their time will come.

-  At E's 2 month check-up (which was really at like 2.5 months.. we were a little slow) she weighed 10 lbs 5 oz and was 23 inches long putting her in the 31% and 64% respectively.  She's getting big.  It makes me sad.


So, there's a quick little mini-update on our lives.  I'm sorry there are no pictures, but for some reason I always download our pictures on the other computer... and Ammon has it at work today. :(

Oh well, she's super cute... I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.
