Pre-Pregnancy Pants Back On!

I know this is a rather stupid thing to blog about, but it's a huge accomplishment for me! I was able to zip up and button my pre-pregnancy jeans this evening!!! I have by no means lost all the baby weight, but I can at least put something pre-pregnancy on. I still can't wear many of my old tops (because when I gain weight, I tend to do so in the top half of my body rather than the bottom), but I'm working on it. I'm walking 2 miles on M,W,F with another stay-at-home mom friend, doing kickboxing videos on T,TR, Sa, and following Weight Watchers online. I still have a long way to go, but hit a milestone today! :)~

Anyway, enough about me...here's what people really want...new pictures of our cutie pie, Miss Emily Bly!

What up, Daddio? Mommy and Daddy really wonder what I'm thinking when I make some of my faces!

All dressed up to go to the Northam/Collins wedding!

Daddy still makes me smile!

Daddy's cousin, Samantha, and her girls came for a quick visit last Sunday. Hailey, me, and Jacqueline chillin' on the couch!

Straight from the bath sittin' in my Bumbo! I love this thing! Mommy thinks I look a lot like her dad in this picture.

Doin' the bobblehead in my Bumbo!

That's all the new pics for now. She's still growin' like a weed! At 2 months, she was no longer fitting into the 0-3 month clothes she has. We had to start putting her in 3 month clothes. They were a little baggy on her at first, but they fit perfectly now. She can even fit into some of her 3-6 month clothes, but a lot of those are still too big. Next Saturday she'll turn 3 months old! Where has it gone? If the whole first year goes this fast, I feel like she's going to start walking tomorrow!

Road Trip!

On Memorial Day weekend, we headed to San Antonio! This would be Emily's first extended road trip, her first time to meet her Uncle Elliot and the rest of the Wade/Posson clan, and her first attempt at the pool.

The trip there was exhausting. We didn't get to leave town until around 6:30PM on Friday because we had to wait for Ben to get off work. Emily was already getting tired and fussy, and being in the carseat was pretty close to the last thing she wanted to do. So, we had about 30 minutes of blood curdling scream half way into the trip. It doesn't sound that bad when I write it out, but it was hard listening to that and not being able to do anything about it! We got to Grams and Gramps' house at about 10PM. We immediately changed her into her pjs and then let her meet her Uncle Elliot and soon-to-be Aunt Bree for a while before putting her to bed.

Checking this guy named Uncle Elliot out!

Watchin' TV with Dad on Saturday morning! I'm getting good at holding my head up!

I had changed into my bathing suit and Great Grandma Posson wanted to hold me. She laughed and laughed at all my funny expressions!

(The pool was no fun! Mom slathered me up with sunscreen and stuck a hat on my head all for about 20 seconds in the pool! The water was too cold...she should have known I would hate that!)

Great Uncle Mark had a special touch! I slept on him for close to 2 hours!

Daddy makes me smile!

Grams and Gramps let Mommy and Daddy go on a date Saturday night, so they got to feed me, change me, and give me a bath! Here I am splashin' in the water!

The trip home was much better! We left around lunch time on Monday, and she was in a much better mood. We had to stop on the side of the road to change a couple of poopy diapers, but other than that she did great on the way back! All in all, a good trip and a fun time at Grams and Gramps'!
