I can hardly believe it but our sweet Emery Ashlyn is one month old! Becoming a mommy has been the greatest experience. The amount of love, joy, and happiness that fills my heart everyday is indescribable. Now I know how much my mother loved me!

Road Trip to California
Last week I took Emery on her first road trip to California to visit Grandma, Grandpa and her uncles. We spent lots of time hanging out and Uncle Nathan and Griffin had a chance to take care of their niece (They are so in love with her :)). There's lots of pictures so get ready!
She isn't a fan of the road just yet...
Good thing we had sea horse!
Uncle Griffin was so happy to see her.
This is Drake's first encounter with a baby...
and he did very well!
I must say the uncles jumped right in with feeding, burping, soothing and entertaining Emery! They were excellent!
I love this one!! She was out cold after being rocked to sleep by Uncle Nathan.
Of course I had to share this, she lost the rest of her umbilical cord the first day we were there. It's not as bad as it looks, I promise. And she's an innie, whoo!
Nathan and I have two great babysitters we can call anytime, they would just have to travel to Phoenix...anything for your niece right guys?!
Like I said, Drake enjoyed Emery too!
Ha Ha, this is funny. After taking Emery to her first photo shoot for her one month old pictures (see next post!) we were approached by an older gentleman who said, "So this is the real reason they make baby carriages...so you can pack on the bags and hold the baby!" He then told us we should take a picture..so we did! Hey it was a busy day!
Another first while we were visiting was capturing our little one's smile on camera!! After giving her a bath she was in a great mood so I challenged myself with acting goofing behind the camera so I could catch her in the act.
This may have been more entertaining for mom but...
We got it!
Grandma was so delighted to be with her Emery!
On our last day I noticed Emery had disappeared while taking a nap. Where did I find her... napping with her uncles, and Drake of course!
They aren't as sound of sleepers as Emery (smiling for the camera :)), but this was quite a precious moment!
Overall Emery did really well on her first trip to Grandma and Grandpa's...she can't wait to go back!

Love at first sight....
Okay maybe not love...yet! But Keegan and Emery met for the first time this weekend and it was so much fun!
The lovely Helfrich Family (plus one :))
Look at these cuties.
I love this little man!
Daddy wasn't too excited about this one...we're going to have to watch them!
There's no better way to spend a Sunday then with great friends. We had a lot of fun hanging out with the Helfrich Family and introducing the babies! I have a feeling Keegan and Emery are going to have a lot of fun together!
