Go Red Sox

This weekend, we traveled up to Dallas to watch the Red Sox play the Rangers and to hang out with my brother, sister in law and their beautiful boys. Being the new mother that I am, I was trying to look out for my little one and suggested we go to a day game vs. an evening game, so she would be awake and happy. Well, I forgot that day games in August, in Texas are very different from Boston day games. I think it would be an understatement to say that it was hot? Luckily, we were able to find some seats in the shade and that made a world of difference, but it was still HOT! Next time, I think we'll push Emrey to stay up a little later. It was so sticky at the game that taking pictures was not on our mind, but here are a few shots of Emrey on the trip up, at the hotel and hanging out with the Hollo boys, who are sooo much fun.

At one of our many pit stops, Emrey was all too excited to get into the drivers seat!

I only feed Emrey on white sheets when staying at hotels :)

Matt was very sweet with Emrey, he's a great big brother.

Port Aransas

Yes we were traveling again...We went for the weekend, down to Port Aransas, which is a Peninsula that is just north of Corpus Christi. It is a pretty drive, very different from what we saw the past couple weeks in the northwest. It was completely flat and lots of cotton fields on the way. I thought that was interesting, but it turns out, I was the only one that was seeing cotton fields for the first time..

Anyhow, Below are a few pictures I took of Emrey last week on her Seven Month Birthday! It's hard to believe she is seven months! She is changing every day. She is still not crawling, but is certainly no the timid, quiet, "sit-still" baby she used to be. For starters, she is making all kinds of fun sounds (loudly), (Dat, dat, dat, mamammmmmm, hiiii) that will soon be words! She is also lunging at things and reaching out for Ellis or I if we are within arms distance. She is dangerous when she is anywhere near the table, as she will grab at anything she can get her hands on. We've had several near misses so far. I'm certain that she understands many of the signs we have been teaching her. Although she is still not signing back, I feel she is right on the verge of putting it all together.
