Our weekend get-a-way

This past weekend Adrian and I left Emily with my parents to stay the weekend in Kemah. Adrian was a groomsman in our friends' wedding (Ed & Kelly). So we had to be there Friday night for the rehearsal and Saturday for the wedding. We decided to just stay for the weekend. I was sad Friday night and missed Emily like crazy. I was really glad that we had decided to leave her in Houston because Friday night we got stuck in the middle of a flash flood! It was crazy! It poured for hours and the streets flooded in minutes! At one point we were 0.3 miles from our hotel and stuck in a CVS parking lot. Cars were stalled everywhere and the water was so high it came in the door of my SUV! But we survived and so did the car. We had a great time with our friends and the wedding was wonderful. They chartered a yacht and had the ceremony and reception on the water. It was so cool. Emily did great with my parents and I know they were sad when we came to get her, but probably got to catch up on some sleep!

On a separate note, Emily went Monday for her 2 month check up and got her first round of shots. She is now 10 lbs 11 oz (50% percentile) and 23.25 inches (75% percentile). The peditirician said she has hit all her milestones and is incredibly strong for her age! That's our girl!! I was so stressed for weeks about getting her shots, I thought it would be so heartbreaking. And I was afraid she'd get sick. But it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. She cried when she got the 3 shots (ouch!) but after I picked her up she was better. And aside from a little bit of fussing that night, she was perfect!

McNemar Family Easter

I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter this past Sunday! It was so fun to celebrate Emily's first Easter with our families. We went to church with my parents and Adrian's parents. Emily did great and slept until the last 5 minutes, she was hungry and needed a bottle - Grammie Mathews to the rescue! After church we had a wonderful lunch at my Aunt's house and watched Jacob and Landon hunt for Easter eggs. We got some great Easter pictures of the cousins and the "little cousins" that I can't wait to share! Emily enjoyed a full day of lots of family with tons of cuddles and kisses. Jacob and Landon did great with her. Most of the time they were too busy playing to worry about her, but they did settle down for a second for us to get a picture of the three of them together. Later in the day Emily was a little fussy and Landon heard her crying. From another room Landon yelled "Don't worry Emily, I'm coming!" SO CUTE! We had a lot of fun! Enjoy the pictures!

Such a big girl!!!

I am such a proud momma! I couldn't wait to tell everyone that today Emily rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time! I am so proud! Today she is 6 weeks and 4 days old. We were at my Mom's house when it happened and my mom got to witness it as well. She has been smiling socially for about a week, but only for my mom and once for Adrian. But yesterday I got my first HUGE smile. She is hitting milestones and it is so much fun!!!! We have her Easter dress all picked out and she went to see the Easter bunny last Friday. And my mom bought her the CUTEST Easter basket. We aren't sleeping more than 4 hours at a time, but I hear sleeping through the night will come soon (knock on wood). The pictures in her overalls is from today.
