Hello out there! I have not been posting so much these days. Summer is upon us and we are feeling so busy with life! Emmy turned 11 months old this week- that is just crazy to us! We are beginning to plan how to celebrate her upcoming birthday, and enjoying her more and more. She now has 6 little teeth, -we are all 3 quite happy for a break from teething for a little while till any next ones begin. Oh, and she learned to WALK in these last two weeks! We'll show you a video of this at some point soon but for now, here are some pictures and a video of our time at the beach.We were there a week ago.

My sister Robin has a shore house in Ocean City,NJ. Emmy and I stayed for the week with my sister Rachel and her husband and boys. Bron came for a couple days on either side of the week. Emmy just loved the water, she was so brave and funny and happy. 

I figured Emmy has the perfect body for a bikini right now:)
She would watch the waves coming in and squeal with joy as they got closer and hit her. The water was so cold!
Emmy loved having two friends to hang out with all week and give her attention. They were so sweet together.

Every morning, in the hour or so before everyone was up, I'd hang out on the front porch with Emmy and drink my tea while she played with her toys. I would call my mom too because I knew she'd be up, and she'd encourage me that I could get through another day without Bron around. (Thanks Mom!) It was one of my favorite parts of the day, and week. The city is not as consistently quiet in the mornings where we live, so this was a blessing to me:)
It was actually a total coincidence that we stopped in front of this OC boat for our pictures, hehe. My mom thought we did it on purpose.We are not that creative! :)
Bron and Emmy, jumping the waves. This one is my favorite.






^And lastly, a video of Emmy's reaction to her first time on the beach. So fun to watch these moments.

Thanks for reading and looking into our life. I am loving being a mom more than ever. Still can't believe we are almost to a year with this little girl in our life! Hard to imagine it without her now.
Ok. we'll be back soon!
