Who knew having kids could change everything? I started this blog to keep my family and friends up to date on all the adventures and mishaps of being a mom.

Top Ten of the Last Month

Ok so I know it has been FOREVER since I last blogged. So... I have made a top ten of the last month to catch you all up.

1. Emersyn started on baby food at the first of February. She loves it. She is huge fan of rice cereal :-)


2. Emersyn had an ear infection at the end of January and 2 weeks later she was sick again with a horrible cold that settled in her chest. Breathing treatments 4 times a day was what the doctor ordered, but Emersyn did not agree. She hates them and screams through the whole process.

3. On the anniversary of the day we found out I was pregnant, Alex proposed to me. I will be Amanda Lombardi by the end of next year.

4. Alex and I are in the process of buying a house. We have been preapproved for our home loan and now just need to find the perfect place. We want to move when our lease is up in June, so we are going to start looking in mid March.

5. Emersyn had her first play date with my friend Aleesa's daughter Brooklyne. Brooklyne is 11 weeks older than Emersyn so Aleesa and I were pregnant together last year. The play dates are going to be a work in progress I think lol.

6. Emersyn has her christening dress and is all ready to be baptized on Feb 27th. I am excited for my beautiful little girl to finally be Catholic.

7. I was able to enjoy my date night with my breastie since getting pregnant. Alex forced me to go out and Jamie and I were able to enjoy dinner at Chili's and a movie, 'No Strings Attached.' The movie was great but spending time just being a girl again was even better.

8. Emersyn is now rolling over and loving it. The second you lay her on her back, she is flipped over and ready. She kicks her legs (in an attempt to move) and is just itching to move. She is working on the sitting up thing and I am sure will have a grasp of it by the end of March.


9. After a few weeks of eating her cereal like a big girl, Emersyn has decided that she is ready to feed herself. To stop her from stealing the spoon that I use to feed her, she often gets her own to play with during dinner time. She doesn't really understand the concept yet and tends to just hit herself in the face with it. In the picture below, she actually hit her mouth.

10. I really didn't have a number 10 but I like even numbered lists so... tonight Emersyn starts on baby food. Peas is on the menu... I will be sure to keep you all updated on how it goes :-)

Need to blog!!!

I haven't had a lot of chances to blog lately and really need to get back in the game. Since the last post Emersyn is now rolling over, has added cereal to her diet and has been through one sickness and is starting a new one today. I have pics of all of this and will work during the next nights to get you all caught up on my little angel. Thank you for being patient.
