Capturing Emma everyday

Like I mentioned before, since Michael is gone I have gotten better at getting a quick photo of Emma each day to send to him, his mom, my parents and my wonderful cousin Amber. This month has almost (but not quite) flown by and at 9:25 pm on the 28th I was shocked to receive a text from AT&T telling me I had gone over my text limit for the month...and I still had 6 days!! WHAT!?! I have never gone over my allotted 1000 texts but this month I did. :-(  And with this super sweet and precious little girl money is even tighter than normal. Thanks to the urging of my coworker Mary I decided to call and see if there was anything I could do. I was more than willing to switch to unlimited text messaging for just $10 more a month but I wanted to know if there was anyway they would be willing to backdate it to cover the month of August. Well the wonderful lady I spoke with did me one better (I wish I remembered her name!) she took off the $22.10 charge I had racked up with my 1,221 texts for the month AND gave me a $100 credit on our account to help us out!! All I can say is that God is good!! "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." Ephesians 3:20 I really can't explain how that little act blessed my life not to mention helped make sure that Michael gets to see his smiling babies face at the start of each day!

I am sure that this weekend when cousin Amber came in to see us that the number of texts sky rocketed!! She took so many shots of Emma Jean on my cell phone and some great ones with her fancy camera. We  had such a GREAT time hanging out, talking, catching up and visiting local stores like Riffraff and The Mustache but by far the most fun was the photo shoots!! Here are some pictures from the weekend and you see right...Emma Jean is trying her hand at rice cereal! :-D Any tips on how YOU and your little one started eating solids would be welcomed! Right now she is having a little rice cereal at night but when should she start having more? how much should she get at each time? when do we move to veggies? I need directions! ;-)

 

Ready for cereal...

Yum...that is not half bad...

More more give me more!!

All done!! Do I have something on my face?!?

 

Just another day of being me.

 So glad Michael had this old quilt for me to use as a backdrop!

 I love this little girl!!

Amber had to get one in her white dress. :)

After being up for a hour and a half a small smirk is all I was getting!

It's so hard being this cute all the time. Sometimes I just have to sleep!!

We also had a mini photo shoot with a friend of mine Jessica Ritchie to benefit Mamie's Poppy Plates. I think that 15 minutes is the PERFECT amount of time for a 5 1/2 month old to be  happy in front of the camera! :-) I can't wait to see the proofs and am so happy to be able to contribute to such a sweet organization! 

Oh and this Sunday Mom is coming to visit!!! And that also marks 3 weeks remaining until Michael is back!!! So that means 21 DAYS LEFT!! :-D Can you tell I am excited!!

Have a great week and be blessed!
