Winter Wonderland.

We have had a lot of snow.  I know my sweet husband is ready for it to be over.  A lot of snow means a nice paycheck, but it also means a lot of work and a little of sleep.  For Emma and I, it has meant quiet days at home, sledding, and snowman building.  I think I received the better end of this deal! Brett is such a great daddy and husband.  Even though he has been bone tired, he still cheerfully greets us when he comes home, and made a little time to play in the snow with us!

Last Saturday night, my bestie Brooke came over for dinner and brought her sweet Crosby.  Emma loved rocking him in his carrier, and giving him his binky, and holding him, and giving him kisses.  She is really into babies right now!  

This past week my momma has been here with us.  I really love my mom.  It was especially nice having her here to visit with while my hubby was busy at work.  Em really loved having Nana around, too.  A full five days of grandma snuggles and spoiling and showing off her gymnastics moves. Plus, Brett and I were able to sneak off for a little date with momma here!

 

 

 

Emma has loved going outside and playing in the snow.  She really loved watching us throw snow in the air for Dallas to catch.  We had to pick her up off the ground from laughing so hard!

Emma is really starting to climb, so she has been promoted to big girl bed before she cracks her head open scaling a crib rail.  She did really well at nap time today.  I only had to put her back into bed twice before she finally laid down to go to sleep. It's so bittersweet, these milestones.  I feel like I am constantly grasping onto new parts of her while letting go of others.

Because I don't want to forget these precious moments, here are a few more pictures...

Uncle Matt stopped by for a night before going home to D.C.
