Emma Claire 15 Months

A Day Home with Mommy

Today Emma Claire & I stayed home because I was not feeling well when I got up this morning. I was up most of the night coughing and got up this morning with head and chest congestion. Who knows what it is with all the crazy things going around.


Emma Claire was such an angel today. She didn't fuss at all until later in the afternoon it was her melt down time. I videoed several clips of her today, but bare with me because it takes me a long time to upload them on my end.

Some of you have asked how she did being around the animals at Drew & Leah's. She actually did great! We were out in open air the whole time and we didn't allow her to touch them. I had given her a dose of albutural that afternoon because she had already been wheezing some. I'm sure that helped too! : )

Don't forget to check out her new videos. I got some clips of her riding her new 4-wheeler!

This is awesome you have inspired me to do one for Macadyn. I can't wait to see all the things that Emma is doing.

Oh my goodness! She really is growing up quick! It's so funny to see her following in Mommy & Daddy's footsteps on the 4-wheeler! That-a-girl Emma Claire! We love you and can't wait to see you in sunny Florida! We know that will clear up your congestion (and Mommy's too!) xo

I call this Praise Technology!! Looking at it made the miles between us fade away, if only for a few moments. I know it will take time to keep current but this is something you'll be really proud to have as EClaire gets older. Thanks for sharing! Love you all!

Love the new site Ashley . . Thanks for going above and beyond to keep us from missing anything. GREAT JOB!! Love and miss you guys.

Ball! Ball!

I forgot to mention that as we were walking to visit with the Brown's we saw some hot air balloons up in the sky. We pointed them out to Emma Claire and all she kept saying was "Ball! Ball!" and pointing to them. She's so smart. They do look like balls in the sky.

Another Crazy Sunday

As horrible as it is to say Sunday's are not good days for Emma Claire. She is very much a schedule baby and Sunday's are the only days that she is not on her schedule. It doesn't help that for the last several days she has been raspy in her chest so we have been giving her extra treatments of albutural to keep it from turning into bronchitis. And the albutural makes her a beast! It is a form of a steroid and it makes her feel out of control. As of tonight I am not planning on giving her anymore so hopefully we will have better days ahead.


This afternoon Benjamin, Emma Claire, & I went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. Emma Claire got her little lawnmower and mowed the grass and then we took a walk with the wagon over to see Mr Brown & Ms Virginia. It was so pretty that we all just sat outside and talked while Emma Claire played. I can't wait for everyone to see how much she has grown and how smart she is. There are new words coming out everyday!

A Trip to Drew & Leah's

On Friday we went with Ross, Katie, & Baby Leah out to Drew & Leah Baldwin's for an afternoon at their farm. Emma Claire loved seeing all the animals and she did great around them. She would go toward them and as soon as they started coming at her she would turn and run. It melted my heart she was so cute. However, I think Benjamin, Mary Mac and Katie had as much fun as the kids did. Drew saddled up the horses and they all went for a ride. Needless to say none of them could hardly move the next morning.
