Spring is coming

Emerson and I wanted to celebrate Spring's arrival by planting some flowers! She had so much fun digging her hands in the soil and watering the flowers. I had just as much fun watching her excitement! We can't wait until we get to do more activities outside! Bring on the warm weather!!

ONE PROUD MOMMA!!

So, we've been practicing getting to the stand position for the past week. Today when Miss Rebecca (E's physical therapist) came, Emerson decided she was ready. Miss Rebecca was just as excited as we were because she was able to witness her "first" standing!! It won't be long before we'll be chasing after the little lovey!!

Here she comes....

An action shot of E on the move. I love it! She is offically taking 6-7 steps off the couch. We're working on standing up and walking but I have a feeling it will be coming soon.


Emerson using a spoon all by herself. Good thing we have a washing machine.

APH Annual Heart Party

Today we were invited back to Arnold Palmer hospital to celebrate Heart Day. Each year the Congenital Heart Institute welcomes back all heart patients and their families for a reception. Emerson and I had a great time visiting with her prior doctors, nurses, and surgeons. Our family is forever grateful for these wonderful people! We look forward to many more Heart Day celebrations!!

Emerson with her new teddy bear. The hospital had a ton of gifts for all the kids. Our favorite is a handmade heart pillow that each child got to bring home.


Mommy, Emerson, and her cardiologist, Dr. Fleishman. We love that we only have to visit him once a year!!

My Little Chick

Travis took this picture while E and I were on our morning walk. I thought it was too funny not to post. She's the cutest little chick I've ever seen!
