Beautiful Weather!

It was absolutely gorgeous outside this weekend so we wanted to take advantage of it and get out of the house for a little while. We were off bright and early to swimming class Saturday morning and Emma's Mimi came to watch. She did great once again (continued to flirt with Mr. Zach and was in awe of him when he asked her to swim with him on his chest...don't tell Daddy) and after swimming we had a great time grabbing some coffee with Emma's BFF Meredith who is also in her swim class. We grabbed a coffee and a scone and just chatted with Meredith and her Mommy and Grandmother too! Then, Mimi and Emma and I headed to the mall. Emma once again stole the show! I may be biased here, and I know that all babies are cute, but Emma seems to get A LOT of attention whenever we are out. I tend to think she is the cutest baby in the world, but I am her mother. Anytime we go out, we get stopped by several people who comment on how beautiful and happy Emma is. For example, someone actually stopped while driving in the parking lot at Starbucks as we were walking in, then at Costco, we had three different people stop us while walking around and make reference to Emma either being a Gerber Baby or a model when she grows up. Then, in target, another two couples stopped to "talk" to Emma. Again...after target, in the furniture store, we had three salespeople comment on what a good and beautiful baby she is! That was all in the span of two days! So clearly, Regis and Kelly had it all wrong! Anyway...back to our weekend...

After a day of fun with Mimi, we came back home, had some lunch and Emma passed out for a good three hours. We spent the rest of the night just relaxing with Daddy. Today, we wanted to enjoy the weather again, but Wes had to run a lot of errands as well, so I headed out with Emma to take something back to Costco, then off to target and the furniture store. Again, we came back for lunch and Emma took another good nap. It was almost 60 degrees out when she woke up so we went on our first walk with Daddy and Shamus this year! It was so nice to get outside! Emma is now big enough to sit in her stroller without the infant car seat. My baby is growing up way too fast! Here are some pictures of our walk!

All strapped into my "big girl stroller" and ready to go!


At the end of our street, there is a small playground (and I mean small), but Emma had a chance to go down a slide for the first time! She wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but then we got the hang of things!




A quick snapshot during our walk! Emma loved it!
