Goodbye Miracle Blanket, we will miss you.

Aaah, the Miracle blanket, it has truly been a miracle. Emily has slept in this mini straight jacket since she was around two weeks old. She has, for the most part, slept through the night since then. So what if the package says "newborn to 14 weeks"? Well, with Emily being 6 months old now (24 weeks), I guess it really is time to retire this thing. I really did try to make it last until she was 12 yrs. old, and I really want the company to consider making these in larger sizes.


Yes, it was absolutely necessary for me to cut a hole for her feet. No judging allowed.


Thank you, miracle blanket. Last night was not the same without you.

Happy EARLY Halloween!

I couldn't stand it any longer..I have had Emily's costume for months now and I had to get her in it. Anyone that knows us, knows that we are completely obsessed with our other two children. So, of course, we dressed Emily like her sisters! I am pretty sure my dogs officially think I am insane. Emily, you have a few years before the reality of how crazy I am sets in.

Emily and Bella


Pretty puppy

The girls..take 1 0f 200

Emily was not a very happy camper...so, the paci made the majority of the pictures.

I think this may be our first real picture together.

And the first family picture..

Typical Emily and Harrison behavior

5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party with the new additions..JJ, Harrison, and Emily is hiding with Joe.

Sitting up?!?!

Last week, I sat Emily in her bouncy to watch a little Baby Einstein while I did some laundry. Usually she just lays back and enjoys her show...this time she would NOT lay back. She sat straight up for the entire thing! Silly girl..now she is trying to sit up by herself..of course she topples over a bit, but she is doing a pretty good job!

I am off some during the week, so we have tried to get the lovebirds together. This is their typical date.

She loves her exersaucer..and it's the only way I get a thing done around here.

SICK

Ok, she never even ran a fever..but she was so congested. I think I was more upset about this than she was. One thing she was upset about..the dreaded nasal aspirator. Sorry child, but if you can't blow your nose, how else is it going to come out?? You will thank me later.

Bad quality..but how cute? Poor girl was probably trying to figure out how to hide that from me!

Not feeling too hot..but still sassy as ever.

It's 8:15 PM, do you know where your children are???

Don't worry, on Saturday night, while Joe was cheering on the Tigers, the rest of us were in BED. Is this the epitome of old?? 8:15PM on a weekend night, and we are all piled in bed together..aaah, I wouldn't change it for the world. I am a hermit and I love it. I think the worst part of the night would have to be that I thought about ordering a J. Lo movie. Don't judge.

Who wouldn't want to snuggle up with these babies?? Even if it is still light outside..

Sweet girl

Party Animal

Yes, this is my little girl at a bar..there is an explanation.

So, my sweet Aunt Ramona turned 50 this month! Her surprise party was this past weekend, and with Joe's parents busy with company, and my entire family attending the birthday bash, the Chittick's were left with no babysitter. So, guess who joined the party?!!? Don't worry, it was a smoke free party at the Holiday Inn..very baby friendly =)

Those two look ready to P A R T Y..

Somebody LOVES squash...

Emily hates taking a bottle and is not the biggest fan of rice, but she seems to like squash! This is our first try at veggies and I have to say it went pretty well. When did vegetables become so exciting???

Looks like she can't get that spoon fast enough...
