I know...I know...its been a while.

We have really great excuses for why we haven't posted in a while but you're not interested in them I'm sure. Anyway, this picture is of Emily getting ready first trip to a soccer game. Dad was playing. Mom was cheerleading. And Emily was ready for fun in the sun! Dad's team won by the way. After the game, we celebrated by going to the Varsity. Emily was upset that she could not partake in those greasy delights but she settled for a bottle and nap. We're going to try our hand at movie making. We hope to have a video up soon!

Boo Boo Bands

Yes, that is our little girl's leg. And, yes, that is one horrible looking Dr.'s office band-aid (or boo boo band as Abby calls them). Emily went for her 2 month check up today. Included in her all expense paid trip to Dr. Warren's office, she received a thorough check up and 3 SHOTS!!! Mom and Dad almost fainted when we saw those needles. I think that the shots were actually rougher on us than on Emily. She is definitely Amanda's child because she didn't pass out or turn green or anything like that. She fussed a little bit but it was nothing a bottle couldn't handle. For those of you keeping score at home, Emily is now 11 pounds 13 ounces. That puts her in the 75th percentile of all babies weight-wise (that means only 25% of the babies weigh more than she does at the same age). She's 24 inches long-95 percentile! (That means...nevermind...you know what that means). She's already an overachiever! She's been immunized against 8 different diseases and has been pronounced a beautiful baby by the Dr.'s entire staff. All in all, a pretty good day. Could have done without the shots but a girl's gotta do what girls gotta do.

Halloween Visitors

Minnie Mouse and Wilbur the Pig came by for a Halloween visit! The part of Wilbur was played by McKinley Gore and the part of Minnie Mouse was played by the incomparable Abby Williams! Sorry for the blurry picture...too much Halloween candy!

Veggie Tales

Here she is...the princess in the pea! The costume only lasted about 15 minutes which works out to about $1 a minute. In my opinion it was worth every penny! She didn't do any trick-or-treating but she did pretty well for her first Halloween. Today is also her 2 month birthday. Time is really flying. She's growing like a...pea!

For our family and friends...

Its hard to believe that Emily is almost 2 months old! She's been growing and growing and growing. We want everyone to be able to keep up with how the White family is doing so we've started this blog. We'll have pictures and, eventually, video. We hope that we might be able to share our joy over the internet! Look out world...Emily is now in cyberspace! For those of you into stats, Emily is now over 10 lbs and has to be at least 2 feet long. She's sleeping through the night and has been since she was 3 weeks old (yes, I know how lucky we are!). She eats like her father and has all of her mom's personality. She's got a little hair growing around the back. We haven't decided what color it is yet but we'll keep you posted. Check back here soon. No telling what we'll have for you!

My favorite pic...so far

I am becoming addicted to
taking pictures of Emily...eating, sleeping, taking a bath, staring at the ceiling fan, etc. However, Donald took this picture of the two of us sleeping on the couch a few days after we came home from the hospital and it is my favorite so far. Someone actually accused us of showing off the fake baby picture that comes with a picture frame when we showed off this picture!
