Pahrump and Six and Seven Months!

It has been a while since we have posted anything so we have TONS of pictures to share today. In May we went to visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Gillespie in Pahrump, Nevada! It was a VERY long drive but Daddy was a trooper and drove at night so Emily could sleep most of the way down. It was great getting down there and we can't wait until we can go again. Emily really loved Grandpa and the puppies were pretty funny too.

Bath Time in Grandma's sink. Emily was sliding everywhere!

Still in size three diapers

Will eat whatever is given to her even if she has to steal it from you.

Loves to slap tables and make noise

Talks all the time

Can stand up if she has your hands to pull you up

Cries if a stranger is holding her

Really wants to walk but still wont try and crawl.

She is planning something here I'm just not sure what.

She loves to chew on these blocks.

Happy Fourth of July!

She really likes balloons.

I made her this tutu with help from her Aunt Kim. She is already a little girly girl.

Five Months and Family Pictures

We can't believe it. It has been five months since we had Emily. She has grown so quickly and is such a happpy little girl.

At Five Months old Emily can:

Sit almost on her own.

Roll from her tummy to her back and her back to her tummy.

Is very ticklish.

Loves her Grandpa Gillespie's stubby chin.

Is starting to wear some 6-9 month clothes.

Wearing size three diapers.

She is still the best baby a mom and dad could ask for.

Welcome to our Family Blog!

Isaac and I met in January of 2005 and started dating. We saw each other everyday. By December we knew we wanted to be with each other for the rest of our lives and he proposed on December 23rd. We were married on August 19th, 2006 and have loved every minute of it. We bought a condo and started our lives together.

In April of 2009 Isaac and I found out that we were going to have a baby and we started planning an unmedicated birth. In Septemeber we started taking the Bradley Method birthing classes and it was the best decision we ever made because on December 8th 2009 we welcomed our daughter Emily Seren to our family. She has been an adventure from the very beginning. She was born in our home and was delivered by the Magna Unified Fire Authority because I was unable to make it to the hospital before she came. She was very alert right from the beginning and is a very sweet little girl who looks like her Daddy. She weighed 6 pounds and 14 ounces and was 19 inches long at birth.

The Gillespie Family went from having one small child in the family to having five small children. Starting with Maddy (7/29/2004), Conner (09/11/2009), Collin (11/13/2009), Emily (12/08/2009) and Lilith (02/13/2010). It was definitely interesting to have all three of my siblings preparing for a baby at the same time as me.

At Two weeks Emily Weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Everyone was very happy with her weight gain. She was absolutely perfect.

At Two months Emily weighed 11 pounds 3 ounces and was 22.2 inches long.

At Four months Emily weighed 13 pounds 13 ounces and was 24.2 inches long.
