Cuteness personified

pigtails! how cute is the expression on her face?!?!

Kisses from cousin Finn - he's taken quite a liking to Emma Grace. He makes a 'gentle' sound (like a whisper) and touches her gently - it's very sweet.

The Cage

We're borrowing a playpen, dubbed by my brother as the cage. So far she likes it which I'm thankful for. As long as she can see one of us walk by occasionally she's a happy camper.

See? a little smile...it's probably also because Moose is right there next to her.

Some recent pics

Just some more cute pics of Emma . . .sigh, she's so cute!

Having some mummy time With my mum - note, Emma is NOT crying. This is a good thing....
she has been crying at mum a lot lately (I think we need to spend more time over there!)
She did keep looking at me the whole time to check that everything was ok though :)

I love her long hair!

A rare family photo!

The girls got skills!

OK so admittedly it's embarrassing for adults when we see ourselves on video, so excuse the high pitch voices and silly comments to Emma Gracie, but this is pretty cute. We tried it for the first time today and she apparently thinks jumping is rather fun!

Welcome to Winter

Winter has made itself known in Brisbane - which, to be honest, really doesn't compare with winter as most places experience it! However, it is still very cold causing us to value our fireplace and pull out all the stops to keep baby warm! Our house is raised and only has a second story - called a "Queenslander" - to keep it cool in the ridiculous summers. Underneath is all air...cold air. So we have been using the fire in the evenings but keeping Emma warm with a heater for most the night - I appreciate my slippers very much at 3am, especially on the wooden floors!

Ready for a walk to Grandpa and Granny's house!

Grandpa bought her this vest!

This is a gorgeous outfit that the Archer's gave us...

But it's currently a little big...

And not very condusive to thumb sucking...

but we're very thankful and look forward to dressing her in it soon!
