Emma's 3 month old pictures are a little late, as our iMac hard drive decided to kick it at the beginning of September. Leslie (as we call her) has been an amazing iMac for me since i bought her in 2008, so I'm not going to complain too much about the repair. Leslie came home yesterday, so I quickly put together some of the shots I took just after Emma hit her 3 month mark (as Nana was bugging me that I never put any up).

Hope you enjoy these as much as my mom will :) xo

Emma is now more then 3 months old and Andrew and I are starting to get used to this whole parenting scene. 

Its been a while since I posted (which is usual).

Andrew has been up to his old tricks, cooking us delicious meals. He made a wonderful Quiche last week including broccoli, onions, and peppers all from our own garden. And more recently we enjoyed some fresh steak (marinated in salt), along with a homemade potato salad (it was so good!!) and some of our gardens green beans. Nom nom nom.

Another month has flown by, and this little girl is growing like crazy. She's up to 23" long and just about 11 lbs, and she's absolutely adorable of course ;)

In our house, Andrew is the king of the kitchen. I really lucked out. Not only does Andrew cook 90% of all our meals (usually from scratch - we are talking homemade bread, veggies straight from our garden), he does it extremely well. I have been eating like a Queen ever since we got married.

I've been meaning to blog more about the beautiful meals Andrew cooks our family, so I've decided to do a little blog series called "My Husband Cooks" where I'll display the scrumptious meals & treats Andrew dishes out week after week.

For dinner tonight we are starting with a Spaghetti Bolognese. This dish had a homemade sauce (which was absolutely delicious), caesar salad and garlic bread on the side. We finished the meal off with little personal sized chocolate cakes & ice cream - yum!

Before Emma was born I got an iPhone 5 for Christmas. I previously had a 3, but wanted the 5 so that I would be able to capture pictures and videos all day of my little bean. Well - I've successfully filled up my entire phone with Emma Lynn photos - O dear.

So now I have all of these photos on my phone.... what do I do with them? I found a great app by Social Print Studio, called Print Studio. They print your digital photos right from your phone onto beautiful thick matte cardstock and ship it straight to your door with record speed! Now I can take all of my iPhone pictures and put them into albums for safe keeping, to look back on down the road! I LOVE this app.



Another app that I have become very familiar with is Sprout Baby. This app helps me track all of Emma's major milestones, including her Dr. appointments, weight gain, diaper changes, feeding times etc. Its been my go-to app ever since Emma was born and it really helped me adjust to life with baby. Its surprising how hard it is to remember when you fed your baby last - maybe it has something to do with so little sleep ;)

Emma has been growing like a weed. I guess its true when everyone warns you to cherish every moment in the first year, as it flies right on by.

Em is now out of her NB clothes and into 0-3 month sizes. Its a bit of a toss up as she is swimming in some of the 0-3 sizes but the NB are way too tight, can't get them over her wiggling arms anymore.

I find that the brand Carter has always fit our little girl best size wise (although I prefer Baby Gap style wise). Today I went out to one of my favourite places - Once Upon a Child, and bought a few 3 month sized carter onesie's. Once Upon a Child is great for having expensive name brands like Baby Gap, Mexx and Carter's for cheap prices (because its all second hand :). This past trip reminded me of my pinterest board that I started while pregnant with Emma, called "I'd like my children to wear". Its a bit "dreamy" but here are some of my favourite shots from it... so adorable.

Wow, that flew by.




If you'd like to see even more recent pictures of Emma, or would like to stay updated on our lives (because I am so horrible at keeping my blog updated) - be sure follow me on instagram. :)

I found a bit of time in the first weeks to design up a quick announcement for Em. I even incorporated some pink (well, I call it peachy-pink) which should shock many of you!
