Sweet Baby Emily

Emily is SUCH a happy little baby and was so nice to put up with all the chaos in her house!

Amanda loved to "tickle" Emily. Emily was a really good sport about it!

TROUBLE!

Uh-oh...these two could be real trouble in a few years!

Perfect weather for a party!

Jen and Tim hosted a great party for a bunch of friends and all of us. Amanda got spoiled with lots of treats that day including Coco's chocolate cake!!

One happy little girl!
