Water Fun

Looking at a plane.

Just some random pictures

Spring has finally sprung. Although it's been a bit chilly for the past little while, being able to get out of the house to go for walks and spend time in the backyard has been such a relief! The nicer weather makes the days seem much shorter.



A cute picture of Aidan from one of the nights he came to visit.



And Emily playing peek a boo. I just thought it was cute so I'd post it. I do have some pictures of her walking, but I haven't uploaded them to my computer yet. They're on their way....

Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures from Easter. My mom made up a big Easter Basket for Emily with a bunch of toys, new clothes, and too much chocolate. But what did she love the most? The straw. She had a blast and made a huge mess! We would stand over her and sprinkle the straw onto her like rain and she screamed with delight! What a monkey.

More of Emily's birthday

On Emily's birthday Megan, Ethan, and Abby came over to celebrate. Ethan made her a beautiful picture (which hangs on our fridge with great pride) and she also got a toy vacuum cleaner which is noisy, but not nearly as noisy as the lawn mower I gave Ethan for his first birthday!!

Aww.. cousins!

In her special first birthday dress!

Emily's 1st birthday

All of these pictures were taken by my very talented cousin, Jeff. My mom and dad had a party for her on the 23rd. I have my own pictures from her actual birthday which I will post, but thought I'd start with these!She was so excited when everyone sang happy birthday

Hard to believe, but these are all of the children on my dad's side.
Getting a little help from the other kids!!
Just sitting back and watching!!!

Hmmm....

I borrowed this idea from Megan's blog. It's really easy and it will even post the results right from the web page to the blog in no time! I was expecting the results to be: child looks 99% like father, so I was very shocked when these results popped up! Justin of course thinks it's totally off scale and she looks exactly like him, but you can't argue with technology lol!!!

Emily's Favourite Things

Bath time can't come soon enough each day!!
Flying with Grandpa...
Laundry Baskets and Casey... what more could you ask for?
Her favourite cat, Max. The grey cat is much nicer to her, but Max is by far her favourite (maybe because he's black and white?)

I know I've neglected my blog lately, but everything I blog also goes on Facebook. And I'm pretty sure everyone who checks the blogs also checks Facebook. But for those faithful bloggers out there here's a new post!

Professional Pictures

Here are the professional photos taken by my cousin. He came to my parents house which was way easier than taking Emily and my grandmother to a portrait studio. The first picture is of the four generations on my mom's side. I love the ones of Emily!

6 months

I've definitely been neglecting my blog lately (I blame Facebook!!) but here are some 6 months pictures of Emily. My photographer cousin, Jeff, came and took some professional pictures, but I don't have them back yet. When I do I'll post some... they will be much better than my lousy at home attempt!

Emily can now sit up (although not unattended) and is showing signs of crawling pretty soon. She can crawl backwards, just not forwards. She is still spewing mucus but other than that she's back to herself. What a relief!

Watermelon!

Emily discovered the joys of eating Watermelon a couple of days ago. She loved gnawing on the rind... don't worry, she didn't get any of the flesh of the melon. I think she was primarily using it as a teething ring.

Jolly Jumping!

Emily loves her jolly jumper! She really tries to concentrate (hence the sticking out of the tounge!).

Smile!

Just thought I'd post some pictures. They're not of anything in specific, but it's always nice to look at some new photos.

Emily's first tooth.

Well Emily cut her first tooth today. She's been very fussy lately and now I know why. I haven't really been checking often to see if a tooth had popped through... my mom found it when Emily bit her thumb. So now she has become the worst drooler ever. Back to bibs I suppose!

Emily in her Bumbo... she likes it, but gets frustrated when she can't flail all around.

The Young Family

The group photo

Family Reunion

Yesterday was the Young family reunion. (My dad's mom's side). Just thought I would post some pictures since nobody really knows my side of the family! This is my soon-to-be cousin Ashley who is going to be on "Style by Jury" for a 'plain jane to blushing bride' makeover! (And Will, the 30-week premie baby - he is now 2 years old)

My mom and Emily

My dad, cousin Jamie, and cousin Cory

My cousin's little girl, Olivia, my mom and Emily. Olivia just loved Emily and spent every moment with her. She helped feed her, sang her to sleep and let Emily play with her My Little Pony.


My dad and his brother and sister. What goofs!
