May 2018

May was a very very low key month for us. With Blake just being born and being in the NICU the whole month.

Emma spent the first week at her Aunt Melody's and Uncle Michael's with her cousin CJ since we were at the hospital.

 She also got some Mimi time

 And some Gammi time. She said the fish was ew and wouldn't touch it. But she had fun catching it.

 She got to go shopping for NICU snacks.

 She was really into sorting and counting things this month.

 She has also started "writing".

 After a couple of weeks of pure exhaustion from NICU life, we finally caved in and gave her her present from Blake. We had wanted to wait, but we just needed some rest after a day at the hospital. This month/summer her tablet babysat her a lot and I am 100% okay with that.

 After her shower one night she decided she needed to take a bath with her baby in the baby's bathtub.

 We had to practice using the ring sling before Blake came home.

 Cheetos and ketchup...her life.

 Mommy and Emma time the weekend before Blake came home.

 One random night I was really frustrated with the lack of storage because we have this hall closet that is super deep, but you can't use the back because you can't reach stuff. So we spur of the moment ripped it out. We were able to combine two closets into one.

 My youngest sister Victoria graduated high school.

 Summer officially begins when the pool goes up. I can't wait for Emma and Blake to be able to play in it together next summer.

 Exhausted.

 The day before he came home!

 Daycare fun:
