In this picture Emilee is NOT really sleeping...She was faking for a good photo op...She's a celebrity in the making. She would love to really sleep with Maycee, but I'm just not too comfortable with that. Maycee is still too small and Emilee moves and kicks like crazy so I told her when Maycee is BIG like cutter then she can sleep with her..
Maycee seems to be taking after her big sister in the sleep dept. and the eating dept. She is sleeping on 4-5 hr stretches and seems to be making it a habit. 
We are working on getting a good schedule going. She is pretty content and only seems to get fussy when she is hungry, wet, or needs to burp. 
Please keep us in your thoughts as we transition from a family of 3 to a family of 4. We are enjoying our time together as a family. I would also like to thank Aunt Kristie for taking these amazing pictures. More to come with both my girls.
James decided to get in and help her get acquainted with the larger pool. She loves the water.
She actually let go of James and paddled on her own. Before the end of the day she was doggie paddling and moving the length of the pool on her own.
I can't believe how comfortable she was in the water. We bought her a life jacket type thing to help her float. The arm floaties did not work at all.
She got so comfortable she wanted James to throw her up and actually wanted to go all the way under the water. James taught her how to hold her nose. She
She surprised me with some hand made wall decor!! I was sooo excited! I love them they turned out so good! I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't been so thoughtful and took the time to make these. They really put the finishing touches on Maycee's nursery!
She also made an initial sign. It all looks so good! I'm really happy with the way everything looks!
All we need is BABY MAYCEE to make it complete!
James decided he needed go even out his tan so he got in with her! I think he had as much if not more fun than she did.
He got the hose and started to spray her with it! ( I told him she would have gotten introuble for that), but he did it anyway.....
Right now she's telling him NO NO NO DADDY!!!!!
She took refuge by the door so he wouldn't spray her! She's so smart...she knew he wouldn't spray it that close to the door!
To wrap up the first swim James made a fountain like the pond by Aunt Amanda's house. She had so much fun...it took FOOD to get her out of the pool. She got a good hour and half of swimming in before dinner was ready!
When the parade first started she was really shy! They went in a big circle starting from their hallway going all the way to the 4th grade hallway....
By the time they came around the 2nd time she was an old pro..
She had so much fun... Everyone thought she was sooo cute! The best part of it was James got to get off work and come and see her!
I put her hair in pig tails, stuck some pipe cleaners in there, braided her hair around the pipe cleaners, and made them stick up like antenas. I must say it was pretty creative..Especially for me!
I am so happy that I put her in this program. She gets to do so much neat stuff. She loves getting up and going to school.
Not too far into it she needed a break...(don't worry mom, she sat that close to the road for less than a minute..just long enough for me to get the picture)
Once James came back toward her she got up and was ready to help again. Only my baby would point her toes while mowing!!!
Emilee loved playing rough with Cutter! She doesn't have too many kids she can rough house with.
They wrestled like this for a while. She had so much fun with him. She loves Cutter especially when he plays rough with her.
She had so much fun. I must say it was a great idea to have stuff to paint. 
Here is the finished product. She is an amazing artist. She used every color she could.
We had so much fun on Easter weekend! Amanda and Kristie came down and brought my two favorite kiddos! Kristie the photog that she is got some great shots!
Even Blayne got in the picture taking mood. He is so adorable with his little bald head. He is getting so big so fast. Of course he didn't really get to hunt for eggs, but he did his best with some help from his FAVORITE women in the whole world.
Of course Cutter always loves taking pictures. He's a regular little GQ man!!!
Ok, so this afternoon when James and I picked up Emilee from school her hair looked like it hadn't been brushed in a week. I was so sick of seeing it stringy and tangled. James had to get a haircut so we decided to get Emilee one too.
I wanted to get it cut short with it slightly stacked! I was going to take her to Ashlynn the girl that does mine, but of course it's Monday so they were closed. I couldn't take one more day with it. So she got her first real haircut.
She's had her hair cut before obviously, but i've always just got a trim here and there. I've never gotten her a true styled hair cut. I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love it. It looks fab. If you thought she was sassy before she definitly is now!!!
She loves it and she wanted to pose pose pose for the camera. It took me 20 min just to get a few pics of just her hair. To get her to look away from the camera was a real hassle.
My little girl is growing up so fast!!! She looks like such a little girl instead of a baby or even a toddler!! I hope you enjoy all the pics!!
