It’s Chinese New Year and we dressed Em B up in her last years chines Outfit. The pants were too big but the shirt fit perfectly. We found some red pants anyways and she was quite festive.
We didn’t do much else this year to celebrate the year of the dragon but Em b always [...]

A few snaps of Em B in Dec 2011

Wow another long stint without touching this blog.  I don’t really have much of an excuse, I am on the computer a lot, my phone has a app that can post to the blog any time yet I still manage to be such a slacker.  My resolution for the blog this year is to post [...]

Our wonderful Emery turned one today. It’s been amazing to watch her learn and grow out of the newborn and infant phase into a little babbling little person. Although she is only one, Emery has learned many things at this point. Emery can:
- crawl
- sit up and roll
- pull herself to a stand up
- stand [...]

We took Emery to the Atlantic Station’s park where they have some AstroTurf. We thought Emery would enjoy the freedom and crawl to her hearts content. Unfortunately Emery was really unhappy with the prickly plastic grass and made all sorts of funny faces.

Ever since the evening we got back from Charleston, Emery has picked up the ability to pull herself up from a railing like the ones on her crib or in her play pen. At first she was struggling with all her might to put up on foot and then the other, but now she is [...]

Emery loves bath time. At first she was really afraid of the water and gasped whenever we put her in the tub. Now at 9 months Emery is splashing and holding her little Ducky like a fish in water. Here’s some Emery bath pics with her and the blue Ducky.

Last night a long awaited event took place. Emery and her Great Grandmother (whom Ashley and I call Nai Nai) safely arrived in Atlanta! Nai Nai was so excited and happy to see Emery and Emery felt the same way. The two hit it off immediately. Nai Nai is going to stay 2 [...]

Today was Emery’s first day at the YWCA day care. Finally after 9 months of staying home with Ash, Emery was ready to meet other babies, and be a big girl. I took the day off in case Ashley needed a shoulder to cry on. It was also Valentine’s day, so we got to spend [...]

Yup, as of today Emery took her first four legged crawl. It all started with her sitting nicely on the alphabet mat. Ten she notices a plastic bag that crackled loudly. She leaned over and almost as if it was just another normal thing to do began to move her hind legs and arms together. [...]

This Christmas we had quite a number of guests over. Ashley two sisters along with their family came over. So our little one bedroom was a buzz with activity. There were 6 adults, Ash, me, Audrey, Tomo, Ziggy and Tomo. There were three kids, Emery, Megan, and Dylan. And last but no least our two [...]

Emery’s been growing day by day. She still sleeps a lot but when she is awake she is always looking around checking out the world. She’s looks at us a lot and is learning to smile when we interact with her. She also makes a lot noises just on her own, making [...]

It’s been an eventful summer here for our family.  Lot’s of change has happened here to our little family with the arrival of Emery.
After Emery was born, my Mom came down for a few days to help us take care of her. It was good to have some help.  Our first night with Emery before [...]

Here are the sequence of events that led up to Emery’s birth.
Friday May 14 AM: During our OB visit (now weekly),  Dr. Bradley tells us that Ashley is 2cm Dilated and she is doing well.  We start to [...]

One day in early September, I came home and Ash mysteriously sat me down and told me she had some news.  I had a feeling what it was and when she told me my heart leapt!  That’s right, we were going to be parents!  Ashley is pregnant!  We were surprised but not THAT surprised as [...]
