Happy Birthday Emily

Here's a picture...but sorry people, I just posted everything on facebook and there's no way I'm gonna do it twice. Go on over there if you want to see the rest of them! :)

Princess

Nigel

Auntie Cel has a new kitty...his name is....Nigel. She brought him over to meet Emily, lets just say it wasn't the best day of this poor little kitty's life. Don't let the pictures fool you, Emily does not know how to be gentle.




Hiding under the crib from Emily...there's that binky!

Naughty

Emily's favorite "toy" emptying out all drawers she can reach....first the diapers

so happy with what she accomplished

next...


She then went on to the next two, all my shirts and daddy's jeans. The naughtiest part is that she'll pull something out of the drawer, look at us to see what our reaction is, throw it on the floor and then start laughing. I'm sure she got that from her dad!

Oh, I almost forgot...she can stand by herself now and took a couple steps, but of course I missed that cuz' I was at work.

Baby Einstein Addict

Maybe I should start taking her to meetings





She reminds me of the little puppy who loves watching TV in 101 Dalmations

--Hush about the mess...we're moving :)

Father's Day....without daddy

Daddy is sick with Strep Throat so we will have to celebrate Father's Day next weekend. Either way, here's a little update on Emily who will be 9 months old on Wednesday. She finally learned how to crawl "the right way" so here's the video as promised.

Relaxing!

Princess

...Mommy is planning a Baby Einstein birthday party! --I know she's a princess, it should be all pink and girly...but she just LOOOVES Baby Einstein!

Excited!

Off the baby subject...Yes, I admit, I loved the first Twilight and am so excited about New Moon that's coming out soon (anyone want to babysit November 20th?) lol! I feel like a 13 year old. I can't decide if I'm team Jacob or team Edward....I say keep both :)

True Brazilian

I just found this pic from when we went to Fogo de Chao for Andre's birthday! It's too funny!

Sleepy

After coming home from Ian and Angelita's wedding (CONGRATULATIONS!!!) Emily was really tired but didn't want to go to sleep (what's new?), so she sat up in her crib and then just fell straight down sound asleep! Of course I laid her down properly but I had to take pix first.


Cuddling with blankie!

First beach trip

Aunty Cel!!!

We found choop-choops! Yum!



Beach babe!

8 Months

Time is going by so fast. I don't have any new pix right now but I had to post today on Emily's 8 month birthday. She's the cutest naughty little thing (see previous post)! We are still waiting for her teeth to poke through and the teething is making us all a little crazy.
She's very active and doesn't sleep much anymore, there are way too many other interesting things to see and do...no time for sleep! She sits up alone and now pulls herself up to her knees in her crib, so keeping her lying down long enough to fall asleep is quite the challenge.
She's not really crawling yet, but according to her daddy and the nanny she already crawled 3 "steps" at two different times...of course I missed it, but I'm trying to get her to do it again and catch it on camera...not so successful with that yet!
She said her first word "MOMMY"!!!! And she says it all the time! YAYAY!
I promise I will post more pictures and videos soon.
XOXO

Sleepy time (yeah right!)

This is what Emily looks like after I've been trying to put her to sleep for 3 hours (note: it is now MIDNIGHT)




Let's see if the Baby Einstein Lullabies will work, isn't that what it's supposed to be for?



(note: in case you can't tell, it didn't work)

random pix

my NAKED!

My new "piscina de bolas" in the middle of the kitchen

She had to taste each color

So clean after a bath!

Peek-a-boo! (right before peeing on Mommy's bed)
