Quick note- for some reason, my YouTube channel is not linking up with my blogger account, so inserting videos wasn't possible... BUT I have a ton of cute videos of Embry this week! So I've put them in as links, so click on the word "here" where I talk about a video!
Mother's Day
We're only a few hours into Mother's Day and I've had an awesome day so far!
Woke up to find flowers, cards, cupcakes, a fountain soda, a balloon a cute dog and a happy baby girl! Jacob made an awesome breakfast of homemade breakfast tacos and surprised me with a gift card to my favorite nail salon for a mani/pedi! Embry's now down for a nap and when she wakes we're headed out to try out church here in town that a lot of people in our play group go to!
Video of Embry and Mommy here!

| Here's the craft that Embry "made" for her grandmas, great grandmas, and Aunt Ruthie! |
Visit From Mimi
Mimi (my mom) was here Tuesday morning through Thursday afternoon and we had a ball!
We ran errands, had three fun lunches out, and got Embry's pictures made! Despite my worries about Embry's sleeping with guests in the house, she slept great! And actually Thursday night, Mimi's first night gone, Embry got up and cried for about 30 minutes in the night.
Here's a photo recap of her time in Dallas!

| Lunch with Mimi and liking black olives, yuck! |

The next bunch of pictures are from story-time/music class at the library! She was such a good girl sitting alone during the story time and then got very into the music part and even learned how to shake the maracas! Video below!

Portraits
A few weeks ago I bought a Groupon deal for JC Penny Portrait Studio. I just adore the photos that Ruthie takes of Miss E, but thought we needed some in studio pictures done of Miss E. We ordered a CD of all of the photos, but they won't be in for another 2 weeks or so. Here are the three images we were allowed to "leave with" Thursday. I just can't wait to share them all!
A Day at the Races
Playing, Playing, Playing...
Embry is pretty darn good about playing by herself. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, but sometimes it's 30 minutes and I can manage to get some stuff done around the house!
I noticed when going through all the pictures for this week that there were quite a few of her playing by herself. Cutie!!!
Videos of Embry playing alone here and here!
Pictures
 |
| Sunday after I posted the blog, Jacob took Embry to White Rock Lake for an hour long hike. |
 |
| Daddy daughter fun! |

Will she be a little litigator like Daddy?
Way too many pictures of her in this outfit, but how could I choose? |
 |
| She watched her first episode (or 10 minutes) of Barney |
 |
Egg whites, black beans, and mango
Definitely into finger foods these days...although usually about half of the food makes it into her mouth. |
 |
| Going on a walk with Dolly |
 |
| Pretty baby girl! |
 |
| Tomi recently asked if all she does is smile. Nope! She has her moments for sure.... |
 |
| Happy to see Dada home from work! |
