Emily Swinging.

They have finally put a baby swing in at the park across the street and we took full advantage of it! Emily had a great time soaring through the air and Madison loved being able to push her.

Emily sat up!

Emily held herself up for just a few seconds this past week...and I got a quick pic of it!

Madison had a great weekend of laying with Daddy while he played with her hair, putting on make-up and watching a movie while laying on top of the couch.

Emily had her 6 month check up yesterday! She is 17 lbs 1 oz and 26 inches long! She also got 3 shots but she was a trooper! We now have until her next appointment to get her physical developments back on track, otherwise she will be referred to an Occupational Therapist. She has been behind since the beginning with holding her head up and grabbing for objects.

I was so sure she would need to start therapy this month, but the doctor said she saw enough of an improvement that we didn't need to worry yet. She isn't rolling over yet and that wouldn't be too big of a deal if she were at least trying...but she isn't. She is grabbing for objects, but is not transferring that object from one hand to the next which she should be doing. Again, doctor said no need to worry since she is making progress (just slowly).

So now is when I ask that you keep Emily in your prayers! The doctor said that the reason for the delay could be tied to a possible clavical (spelling?) fracture upon birth, but the xrays taken were unclear and she didn't want to have Emily take them again! If you could pray for her development: rolling over, sitting up on her own, grabbing and transferring objects, etc. We would appreciate it!

Please help!

I am need of help! Blain and I got this really pretty comforter set a few days ago. A 4pc Cal King set for $50.00...such a steal as Cal King sets usually run anywhere from 200-350 dollars! But now, the curtains don't match! And because we have red everywhere else and that's what I'm used too, I'm not sure what color/pattern curtains I should get to match a royal/plum color. So I need advice, suggestions, do and don'ts...I need HELP!!!

Our Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day this year! Because of the rain, we couldn't spend the day outside, but we did hang around the house and just spend the time together.

Goodies I left out for Blain and the girls! Emily got a teeshirt, Blain recieved some truffles and Madison got some tattoos, head bands and priness candies.
