Bring Your Baby to Work Day

Emrie wasn't feeling well yesterday so I picked her up early from day care and took her to work with me. She had a late doctor appointment so she hung out in the office for an hour or so. She had a great time crawling all over the place. And again, even with all the toys I brought along, she still played with my water bottle the most.

Ummm...it wasn't until I snapped this picture and took a look at it that I realized she was sitting on a bunch of floor outlets chewing on a half full water bottle. YIKES!!!

We have movement! Life will never be the same!

Last night it finally happened! Emrie crawled. I was sitting on the couch and she was playing on her TAMU blanket with her favorite toys. I went to the kitchen to grab some water and when I turned around she was right behind me. I was so excited I did a little cheer and my happy dance which scared her a little so she crawled back into the living room.

I spent the rest of the night moving all over the house to see how long it would take her to catch up. The answer: not long. So long pretty candle holders, farewell tiny trinkets and goodbye to anything else she can get her little fingers on. You're all going on a trip way, way, way up high.

Roger Creager!

Yes ladies...I got to hang out with Roger Creager yesterday. Eat your heart out!

He was in the studio during the Big Lunch Rush to talk about his brand new CD called Surrender which was being released yesterday.

He's Fightin' Texas Aggie class of '93 just like me. I think we had MATH 142 together at TAMU back in the day. He said he remembers me cause I'm so cute.

Blahahaha! I could just eat him up!

Emrie's Big Day

Yesterday was Emrie's first day at day care. My parents are still keeping her a couple days a week for me but the rest of the week she's attending Brazos Valley KIDZ Academy in downtown Bryan. As you can tell from the picture she's not too sure whether she should smile or cry.

Well, I'm happy to report that she had a great day and an even better night. She went to sleep on her own in her own bed and slept for 7 hours straight! I actually had to wake her up to nurse instead of the other way around. I have a feeling it won't be long before she's snoozing for a solid 8 to 10 hours a night. I can hardly wait!

Awwww...my little Mootzie is growing up so fast.

I got a Glock for Christmas!

That's right. I'm a pistol packin' mamma! I got a Glock for Christmas and finally had the chance to try it out yesterday. I went out to my parent's ranch in Deanville for a little target practice and I was actually pretty good once I got my groove on. Now, I want learn the ins and outs like how to take it apart and put it back together and of course how to take out a zombie should the occasion arise.

3 Big Teeth

Emrie is 28 weeks old today. She has 3 teeth (all on the bottom) and continues to use them as she experiments with a wide variety of food. Although to look at her after she's eaten, you'd swear she didn't get any of it in her mouth.

She's trying to crawl. She manages to get up on all fours, rock back and forth and then BAM she flips over on her back. It won't be long though before she's mobile and then watch out!

She loves being outside. The weather's been so nice this week that she's spent a lot of time in our yard in her exersaucer or in the garage in her walker. Ahhh the walker...it's become a source of frustration for her as so far she's only been able to scoot backwards.

Hang in there Mootzie!

Another picture from Emrie's first Christmas...

I was looking at some old pictures I took with my phone and realized I hadn't posted this one yet. So, here it is another picture from Emrie's first Christmas!
