Happy Valentine's Day!!

Nathan just learned how to stick his tongue out :) So I suspect it's going to start happening in lots of photos in the near future ;) 

Pretty sure he had enough of big sister today. She just loves on him so much. I think today might mark his first tell off...she was getting near him and he screamed and then looked away from her at one of us with a HELP look, lol. Poor little guy... everyone said that the newness would wear off... NOT AT ALL. 

Happy Valentine's Day Folks!

Nathan Vaughn

Nathan Vaughn Herne was born Sept 23rd :) And with his birth we start this blog :) You can read about my pregnancy with him and his first week of life here on his blog

Happy 4th Birthday to me!

Today I'm 4 years old! Look at how much I've grown :)

So mommy and daddy said my party will be in a few weeks when my friends can come... but today they took me to dinner after gymnastics and I got to eat a yummy sundae and the people at friends sung me a birthday song! Yum Chocolate!

So now that I'm four I can...

count to 14

write my name

write many other letters

recognize numbers 1 - 10

play go fish and the memory game

buckle myself in the car seat

put my shoes on the right feet

dress myself

undress myself

pour my own milk

clean up the clothes in my room

feed my fishie

and i'm almost an expert Om Nom player :)

Batting Practice :)

Here's daddy giving me some pointers :) But i'm not a lefty and he is so... 

I tried it from the other side after I missed on that side. 

Aww man dad, catch the ball your making the team look bad!

I like my bat :) hehehehe

I love painting :)

Mommy bought some new paints called watercolors. These are pretty neat to use... :) There are so many colors to choose from :) 

Random Bits and Bobs

Look at me at gymnastics I can do a front flip/roll :) 

Look I found a way to get comfortable AND get daddy's pod at the baseball game :) 

I love baths :) And now I can FLOAT!

You CAN'T Miss these Grandma!

So you hear Em's voice and then Nathan gives me a nice swift kick on the left side :) It's a little ways in around 14 seconds

This wiggle worm doesn't stop most of the evening when he's in a good position (not feet down and not behind my placenta).

In this next one same side around 9ish seconds is the hardest kick caught on camera I think :)

Emilie the OB in training :)

Emilie hasn't tried finding Nathan since he was ALOT smaller ;) Today just happened to be the first time I've thought about it... Here's the videos of it :)

First comes the gel ofcourse. We have been using Aloe Gel :) 

Then comes the serious hunting of the heartbeat :)

And her telling me we are all done now.

Once she felt/heard him move she was no longer interested in the doppler. She did pick up the heartbeat a few times but didn't leave it long enough to register anything, lol.

Happy July 4th!

We went to a park with all sorts of neat things to see and do for the 4th of July. I got to ride a merry go round, jump in a bouncey house, eat yummy food and... 

play on daddy's pod :) All while waiting for some pretty cool explosions mommy and daddy call fireworks.

Anniversary Party and North Visit

I got ready for Grammie and Gramp's party at Grandma and Grandpa's house :) We have the same expression...must be something mommy said. 

 

Alright kisses and off we go! 

Look I found cousin Harper! 

There goes that mommy making people look with the same expression again. 

 My little family, including my baby brother in mommy's ever growing tummy!

 

Alright well thats all folks, I wasn't feeling well so good thing it wasn't my party I left early so I could get some sleep and let my party maniac parents to stay.

The Letter "A"

Emilie learning how to write the letter "A".

We started with making the three dots and now she can do it all on her own :) She's since doing these videos learned how to make many letters, including writing her name :)

Randomness

These are just some random things that have happened. I haven't been the best at updating her blog with things...

Emilie was accepted into PreK and we went for registration night :) She is very excited to start school :) 

Daughter like Father ;) Not sure what they were watching but they had mirror poses :) 

Emilie with her cousin Harper! 

Her drawings are getting more detailed :) This is a family portrait of Daddy, Mommy, Emilie and the little smudge dot thing on the left is Nathan :) 

Easter Morning :)

Wow there are EGGS everywhere!!! 

 Look at all this stuff...

 I'm the Emilie Bunny... and look there is a mommy bunny ;)

Wow chocolate! 

Easter chick :) Yay!

I was sure spoiled by that bunny. Not only did I get some money in the eggs he hide, but I also got all kinds of toys and candy! Thank you big ole bunny for stopping in! See you next year!

HOPPY Easter!

 YAY! Easter is here! 

This is so much fun!

Okay now where is my candy?

Decorating Eggs!

Tomorrow is Easter so it's time to decorate some eggs!! We are getting ready! 

First we have to measure out some water and vinegar. 

Then we add in the coloring and wait..... 

Now they are ready to dip! 

 

Then take them out... 

Look at all the pretty colors... but I think they are boring still... 

They need STAMPS! 

ALL DONE!

Mommy made some special ones :)
