Hello All

Yes, I am still here.
I know it has been a while since I posted, but Grandpa David and me have been really busy.

We have been trying new things to make getting pictures of me here easier. So, Grandpa David has tried to create a Web Album. We are going to see if this works.

So, to start, Here is a small album of pictures from April. Trust me, I am CUTE in all of them.

Here they are: Emily Rose - April 2005.

Leave a comment and let me know if it worked. I'll pass the word to Grandpa David.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

PS. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up this weekend. Grandpa David has been busy and I've been enjoying Daycare to much to bother him about it.

PSS. Oh. I almost forgot. Mommy says I have been rolling over from tummy to back. That is so much fum. I can't wait to start crawling. Mommy and Daddy will never be able to keep up with me when I start that. I'e even started eating more solid foods. It's so cool being me.
Love to all -- ERM

Picture Time (from March 2005)

I know it's been a long time since I posted pictures, but I've been a busy baby. I've been growing and just having a lot of fun.

Grandpa David and me finally decided which pictures to put here, so we're doing another "Photo Dump." It's fun seeing the pictures that have been taken and deciding which one's to post here.

I hope I won't be so long next time.


Mommy and me on Easter Weekend. I'm just plain cute!


Mommy and me again.

Ooops! I think I passed a "bubble."


Bunny and me.

Well. That was a lot of work. I hope I won't be so long next time. But, I do stay busy keeping Mommy and Daddy occupied. They take me places. Next time I'll tell you about Day Care. They are really nice to me there.

Bye for now. Love, Emily

4/12/2005: Future Job Opportunity

This might be a good job for when I get older. But I still want to be a veterinarian.

Easter Weekend

Stayed over with Nana Cauleen and Grandpa David. We had a nice day, so took a couple of pictures. This is a collage Grandpa David put together. That's me looking pretty, me with Mommy outside under the Cherry Tree, and me again, looking pretty with my new Coink bank.





More pictures to come soon. Bye for now. Love -- Emily!!

Started Day Care Today (3/21/2005)

Well, Mommy has to go to work today, so I started Day Care today. Mommy was not happy. Daddy checked up on me later and everthing was good. Mommy did good at work, I did good at Day care, and Daddy goofed off, running errands and stuff. He didn't go to work. He picked me up at Day Care and we got Mommy. She was happy to see me and was happy that I did good.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

Doctor's Visit (3/18/2005)

Well, I visited the Doctor today. I weigh 10.5 pounds and I'm almost 24 inches. Doctor says I'm doing really good.

Then she gave me 4 shots. I DID NOT like that. Mommy found out how much I DID NOT like that. It HURT!! Bad.

She and Daddy gave me some lovin' and kisses, and I felt better later, but, I DO NOT like shots.


Bye for now -- Love, Emily

Today is my Birthday (3/18/2005)

Yep! 2 months old today. It's so good to be a baby. I can have a Birthday every month. I was told that Nana Cauleen got me some more clothes. Of course, some of them are for when I get bigger, but I can't wait to get them.

I'll get some March pictures up soon. Grandpa David needs to help me with that.

Oh, it's so good to have a ANOTHER Birthday!

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

Photos (3/8/2005)

Well, I don't have much to say. Things are really good. Mommy and Daddy are fine. I was in my swing last night and really had lots of fun!

Here are some pictures. Call it a "Photo Dump." Most of these were in February. Grandpa David says he will get a couple of the "professional" pictures up after he scans them.


Daddy, being silly again. I like that.

Mommy and me with a statue of the baby elephant at the Zoo. I'm not sure about the elephant. I'm glad this one wasn't real. I'm glad Mommy was with me.


Me, just being cute.


Brewster and Buffy making sure Grandpa David is taking care of me.


Grandpa David and me. Just a great day outside and quiet rest inside.


Me again, just being cute.


Me, still being cute.

Uncle David and Auntie Tannis.


Hey! You looking at ME?


Me and my Bunny Blanket. Nana Cauleen made the afghan. It's pretty.

Bye for now. Love --Emily

Happy Mothering Day (3/6/2005)

Grandpa David has been pretty busy lately and has not been around to help me get messages on the Blog. So he said he would help more in the next couple of days. He wants to get more pictures uploaded so I can show off how cute and happy I am.

Here is a special picture of me with Mommy and Daddy at the Zoo. This picture is for Grandma Rosie for Mothering Day. I hope she is happy today.


By for now. Love --Emily

Today is my Birthday. (2/18/2005)

It's really neat to be a baby. I get to have a Birthday every week. Today is my 1 Month Birthday. I visited my Doctor today. I weigh 8 pounds, 10 ounces and I'm 20 3/4 inches tall. I was able to lift my head and look around the room while on my stomach. The Doctor says that's really neat.

Anyway, mommy will probably take a picture today so Grandpa David can do something here and let people see the Before and After.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

New Pictures (2/15/2005)

Mommy and me spent a few days with Nana and Grandpa David. It was fun. Here are a couple of pictures from then.


Brewster making sure Grandpa David is taking care of me.


Living up to my Nick-name "Peanut".

So, this past weekend we went to Uncle David and Auntie Tannis for Valentines Day. Here are some of those pictures.

Happy with Auntie Tannis.


Valentine's Day at Auntie Tannis and Uncle David's. Mommy and Daddy showing me off. I'm just Soooo cute!!

It's so much fun being me. I get all kinds of attention and I'm really happy.

By for now -- Love Emily.

Yesterday was my Birthday!!

Yep. Yesterday I turned 2 weeks old. How exciting! Can't you see by my picture how happy I am?


2 weeks old - 2/1/2005

Bye for now. Love--Emily

Going to the Doctor today (1/27/2005)

Yesterday was an exciting day. I dropped my umbilical cord. That sure does make cleaning easier. Nana Cauleen and Mommy took me shopping yesterday. I really like riding in the car. The motion is so comforting.

We went to Mommy and Daddy's favorite $100.00 store, Costco. That's what people call it because that's about how much everybody spends when they go in there. Anyway, I didn't like it so much for my first visit. It's BIG, not very warm, bright lights everywhere, and NOISY. We have to watch out for fork lifts, carts, and all the people. But I had fun being "out and about." We went to a couple of other stores and I enjoyed them a lot more because I didn't have to stay in my carrier. Mommy and Nana Cauleen carried me. I REALLY like being held.

Nana Cauleen is going home today. She needs to take care of Grandpa David and the dogs.

I get to visit the Doctor today for my 1 week appointment. I feel good and I think things will be fine. I'll let you know later.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

Baby Chic 101

Grandpa David found this Blog while looking for some quotations. Maybe Mommy and Daddy will buy me some of this stuff. I deserve it.

Baby Chic 101

Bye for now. Love, Emily

Another day of excitement (1/24/2005)

Nana Harper is here with us again. Mommy and her are working on Scrapbooking stuff. I can't wait until I can get into the rubberstamps and ink and glue and. . .

Daddy went to work. Grampa David is at home taking care of Brewster and Buffy.

My pacifier fell out today and I put it back all by myself. At least that's what Nana Harper told Mommy. I think it was an accident, but it sure caused a little excitement today. It was a lot of work putting that pacifier back in my mouth. I had to take a nap.

Oh, well. Got to go for now. Love, Emily

Grandpa David (1/21/2005)

Grandpa David came to visit. It was fun to held by him. I feel so small in his arms. He acted like he didn't want to hold me, but I knew he liked it.



She is SO tiny

Bye for now. Love--Emily

Custom M & M's for Me (1/19/2005)

Grandpa has been collecting M & M's stuff for a long time. I hear he has a pretty good collection. He went over to the M & M's web site here and found a way to get some special M & M's for me. This is SO neat!!



Bye for now -- Love, Emily

My Pictures (1/19/2005)

Well, here are some pictures from the hospital. I am 1 day old, and I am a little cranky because of all the fuss.

Anyway, I promised you some pictures, so have a look. I'll post more. I nursed after these were taken and took a nap. A nurse looked at my ears and said I had good hearing. Mommy can tell you that I have good lungs. Daddy can tell you that my other functions work just fine.

Enjoy the photos.

I'm going home today (1/19/2005)

Mommy, Daddy and me are going home today. Mommy has a couple of things to do here at the hospital before we leave. Daddy will try to get pictures done. Nana is at our house. She is going to fix Fried Rice and Potstickers. I can't wait until I can eat that kind of food.

Well, I need to be fed and take another nap. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

I'M HERE!!!! (1/18/2005)

Hello, world. Emily Rose Morris has arrived. Mommy is doing good, Daddy is very happy.

I guess I was an easy baby. Mommy was only in labor for 3 hours. She sure seems tired though. I'm ready for the attention the world is about to give me.

Nana finally talked to Grandpa to give him the news.

So, here are my Vital Statistics:

Place of Birth: Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, Kirkland, WA
Time of Birth: 1507 (3:07pm) Pacific Standard Time
Height: 19.5 inches
Weight: 6 pounds 12 Ounces
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue

I've already nursed. I've sneezed (that tickled), and I yawn a lot. I guess I'm still not use to the attention I'm getting. Pictures being taken, doctors and nurses hovering over me and cleaning me up. It's good to be out. I can't wait to finally see everyone.

Pictures to follow (hopefully tonight, if not tomorrow).

Bye for now -- Love, Emily

Today is the Day! (1/18/2005)

Mommy and me are at the hospital now. Daddy is here with us. Nana will come to the hospital later.

Mommy should be getting medicine to help me come out today. I feel good, so I'll help Mommy along.

Keep watching the Blog. I'll announce my arrival when I can. Bye for now.

Love, Emily

My visit to the Doctor (1/17/2005)

Mommy went to the doctor again today. He says I'm ready to come out, so Mommy has to go to the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:15am. She will be given some medicine to make it easier for me to come out. I should be born between 4:00pm and 8:00pm on the 18th of January 2005. Of course, I could be born earlier, but for now I'll stick to 4-8.

Nana is getting ready to come up and be with Mommy and Daddy tomorrow. Grandpa will probably come to see me on Friday, after I've been home for a couple of days. I can't wait to see everyone. Grandpa is promising to send my picture to everyone (his family).

So, until tomorrow, bye for now.

Love -- Emily

Grandpa found this neat Historic Tale Construction Kit over at J-Walk . So, he wanted to spread the news to everyone.

Grandpa is SO NEAT!!


An URGENT message to the masses!

Bye for now. See ya soon!!

Love, Emily

My visit to the Doctor (1/11/2005)

Mommy took me to the Doctor today. The Doctor says I weigh almost 6 pounds, I was in good position, my heart rate was very good, and I was ready to come out. The Doctor even said I could come out today if I wanted. That's pretty exciting because I'm ready to face the world (I think). If I don't come out today, I should be out by next week.

Bye for now -- Love, Emily


As Grandpa says, "Signing Off! Until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

My Mommy and Daddy (1/10/2005)

Grandpa showed Mommy how to make a picture of herself as a character from South Park. So Mommy set out to do it. She made one of herself and then did one of Daddy. Pretty good, Huh? Thanks, Grandpa.


My Mommy and Daddy

Grandpa says that if you want, you can go here to make one of your own. Maybe Mommy will make one of me when I come out.

Bye for now. Love -- Emily

As grandpa says "Signing off, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

A visit to the Doctor (1/5/2005)

Mommy went to the doctor to see how I was doing. The doctor says Mommy is just fine. She says I am head down. She said that if I wanted to come out now, she wouldn't stop me.

The Doctor even said that I might come out a week early, the 17 of January instead of the 24th. That would be nice. I am excited for my arrival, and I know Mommy and Daddy are, too.

Nana (that's what Grandma wants me to call her) still finds me clothes to wear. She is probably more excited tan Mommy and Daddy. Grandpa is still hard to read, but I think he's just as excited as Nana, but just won't show.

Gotta go. Time to let Mommy know I'm still here.

Love -- Emily

As Grandpa says "Signing Off! Until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

I want to be a Veterinarian (1/3/2005)

Grandma and Grandpa had to take Buffy (their girl German Shepherd Dog) to the Vet today. Poor Buffy has been peeing more than me lately. They thought she might have an infection.

It was so funny, They took her to the Vet and one of the tech's followed her around with a pan to try to catch some of her pee, so they could look at it in the microscope. Well, Buffy wasn't going to let that happen. (Grandpa says Buffy has D.A.D.D. -- Doggy Attention Deficit Disorder).

Anyway, Grandma and Grandpa had to leave her there for a couple of hours, so the doctors could get her to pee. FINALLY, she did.

Grandma and Grandpa have to give her medicine for the next couple of weeks and take her back so they can look at her pee again (HA!). Well, it was an expensive trip to the Doggy Doctor!

So, I decided that since Mommy and Daddy have a dog, Uncle David and Auntie Tannis have 2 dogs, and Grandma and Grandpa have 2 dogs (not to mention the assorted cats and birds and other animals in the family), I want to be a Veterinarian. Yep, that's what I want to be. Then I can take care of everyone's pets and save them some money.

What do you think Mommy?? Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh?

Love, Emily

As Grandpa David says "Signing Off! Until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

Happy New Year (1/1/2005)

I guess I'm suppose to say that. I understand that wishing everyone a "Happy New Year" is suppose to bring good luck. Well, if that's so, the I will say it again: "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!"

I am almost ready to show myself to the world. I'll try and be a little quicker in saying stuff, but sometimes it's not easy. Especially since I have to keep reminding Mommy that I'm almost ready.

Anyway, I hope all is well with you, because I am just GREAT!!

Love, Emily

As Grandpa David says "Signing Off! Until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

My 1st Christmas (12/25/2004)

Well, not really my 1st Christmas. After all, I'm not even here yet, but still, I can claim it as my 1st.

Mommy and Daddy took me to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas. It was so neat. We left early because Daddy said Grandma was fixing breakfast (Daddy REALLY likes Grandma's breakfast). So, Mommy, Daddy, and our dog Jasmine all got in the car with all of Grandma and Grandpa's presents (and Uncle David and Auntie Tannis's presents, too) and we drove to Roy. That's where Grandma and Grandpa live. It was so much fun.

When we got there, Uncle David and Auntie Tannis were already there. They brought Rio, and U.B. (their Greyhounds). They are so funny looking, but really cute and they REALLY like to be petted. Uncle David even brought Jaz, another Greyhound he and Auntie Tannis were taking care of while his parents were on a trip.

Imagine this, 6 dogs and 6 people at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Oh, What fun!!

Anyway, I need to talk more about ME! I got all kinds of neat Christmas presents. I got clothes, and Grandma even made a special Christmas Stocking tree ornament for me that says "Emily--Made in Washington." It even has a $2.00 bill in it. How NEAT!!


I got 2 hand crocheted hats from Auntie Tannis. I got another tree ornament that was a porcelain bootie, and a snowsuit (pink, of course), some really neat bath stuff made with Goat's milk, and some blue jean overalls, so I can help Daddy work in the garage.

I know there is a lot more stuff waiting for me when I come out. I already know what my FAVORITE store is -- Baby's-R-Us. Mommy and Daddy take me there ALL the time to get me stuff. I can't wait to see it.

Anyway, I had a fun Christmas. I'll be almost a year old when my next one comes around, I can't wait.

Bye, bye for now. Love, Emily.

As Grandpa David says "Signing Off! Until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!"

My visit to the Doctor (12/19/2004)

Hello again. Emily here. Sorry I haven't written sooner, but it's been pretty busy here in my little world.

Mommy and Daddy took me to the Doctor on the 19th of December. They took some pictures. I really can't see a lot, but maybe you can. In picture 05, they drew an arrow to point out some hair. I still can't see it, but the doctor says it's there, so I believe her.

The doctor said that I have turned and that I'm headed in the right direction to come out. I can't wait. I'm going to have so much fun finally seeing my Mommy and Daddy. Oh, I'll get to see Grandma Cauleen and Grandpa David, too! and Uncle David and Auntie Tannis -- Oh Boy!

Well. I need to go for a little while. I'll write about Christmas next time.

Bye, Bye for now.

A Work in Progress

Hi!

I'm Emily Rose Morris. I became a twinkle in my Mommy and Daddy's eye about 8 months ago. I'm due to arrive with lots of fanfare around the 24th of January, 2005. My Daddy wants me to show up before the 1st, so he can get the tax break, but I don't think I am ready just yet.

My grandma Cauleen is really excited for me to arrive. She has been buying clothes and all kinds of NEAT stuff for about 6 months now. I don't know what grandpa David thinks yet, but I'm sure he's excited.

I can't wait to meet all my playmates, Brewster, Buffy, and Jasmine. I know my uncle David and aunt Tannis have some playmates for me, too. I'm really excited to get here. I can't wait to see my new room and sleep in my own bed. It's going to be loads of fun to keep Mommy and Daddy awake at night just being a GIRL!

Relax. I'll put some pictures up soon and write some more. As grandpa David always says:

Signing off! until next time, I'll see ya on the Blog!!
