Emma is getting really good at sitting up on her own. Here she is on mommy and daddy's bed yesterday afternoon. She was having so much fun playing.

Two new images of Emma. She is now 6 months old. She weighs 16lbs and is 26 inches long!



her sleeping was taken three days ago and her wide awake was taken this morning

We have been tying to add new post as often as we can, so if you haven't visited in a while be sure to scroll down and see more images and video of our little Emma in her world!


Emma just loves her colorful and odd looking animals that we surround her with. This is her Steiff giraffe Linda, that she loves to share long conversations with.



Emma's first hair cut! Grandma Leppink did it while she was visiting from Colorado. It helped get rid of the comb over look that Emma had going on. Emma really didn't mind getting her hair cut at all, it was the camera flashes that got her attention.

Emma's Baptism. Thank you to our niece Briana who was our camera woman.

And now... With Video! Here's some video of the Bean that is getting dated already! I can't believe how much she has grown already!

It was wonderful having mom and dad out for a week and a half. We ran all over San Diego, going to the Del Mar Fair, shopping malls, and Starbucks. We also got to celebrate Donald's first fathers day where he got a new stroller for Emma (it's an Xplory complete by Stokke, we got the blue one) and a new knife for his chef skills ( a Shun)

Emma also got baptized! She did great!

The Godparents were Michael (Donald's best friend since he was 14 and my sister Bernadette)

Emma got the full immersion and she was the star of the day not to mention the most beautiful baby baptized

After it was all over a cuddle with mommy calmed her right down

Time for a new post!

Yes we know that it has been a while since our last post. Here are some pictures to explain why we have been too busy to post.


Grandpa visiting could hardly put Emma down for five minutes. They played for hours and hours. Emma is still looking around for Grandpa wondering if he will take mommy for Starbucks or tickle her before bedtime.


Grandma made sure she got her cuddles in where she could, sharing quite times and secrets.
