update on the Woods






So the 11th was the Marine Corps Ball. its normally on November 10th for the Marine Corps Birthday but since 3/5 was gone they did it in June. We left Emma with my parents and drove to Vegas. It was Randan and Mines first ball in 4 years. Every year Randans been doing some kind of training where he hasn't been able to go. We weren't there long we just went for the ceremony and dinner and then left. we were anxious to get back to Emma. who was an angle so my parents say.
on the 12th Randan I and Emma headed for California. Randan has a friend who offered their spare room in their house. they are so nice. they have a 20 month old a 6 month old and a dog and still were more then happy to have us. Emma and I have LOVED being in the same state as Randan. although it is pretty hard living with other people with Emma so who knows how long it'll last. But on the 18th we went to Sea World! I have never been. And because Randan's active Military we all got in Free! we had a blast. We didn't ride any of the rides but we walked around and went to the shows. Emma was a doll, pretty much slept the whole time. and when she woke up and started fussin we were ready to leave anyways!
So thats that! Just a little update! hope you're all doing well! :)

Emmas a month already!!





oh my goodness my baby girls a month old, and a few days :) I can't believe how time flys. and look at me bein a mom doing my monthly posts about my babe :) crazy
So many things that both Emma and I are learning! (poor thing has to be my lil ginny pig) so many firsts!
-She is SO strong she'll hold her little head up squeeze fingers and push with her lil legs.
-She didn't like pacifiers for a long time until we found the one she liked, now shes quite fond of it!
-She had her first bath and didn't quite know what to think of it, everytime. she just kinda sat there. ha ha until I took her out.....
-She hates being cold
-She LOVES to sleep on her tummy. I know they aren't supposed to but i figure if its gone back and forth between sleep on tummy no sleep on back, no sleep on side... it doesn't matter a whole lot. however bein a first time mom I am pretty paranoid, Randan gets annoyed that I have to check on her a million times a night. ha ha
-She LOVES to eat. oh my goodness. (I could do a whole post on this, but I'll leave it at that ha)
-She loves her carseat, and rides so good in the car. we even took our first trip to SLC, with much help from my amazing sister and she did SO good!
-She really is such a good baby! My family keeps telling me its not fair I have such a good one. (i was.....not so good ha ha)
-She is 21 3/4 long in the 75%, and 10 lbs 15 oz in the 93% ! Such a lil chunk! ha!

I can't believe the little sweetheart is ours, we're extremely blessed! Randan left on the 31st and we're missing him so much. Its so fun to see him with Emma. He already is such a good daddy and I'm so thankful he's mine. We're still working on chasing after him :)

-i have to add, today 5/6 Emma rolled first from her tummy to back and then from her back to her tummy! So It looks like it doesn't matter a whole lot which way I put her. told u she was strong :) ha ha girls determined and gonna do what she wants. (wonder where she gets that) :)
