4th of July

This weekend was Emily's first official camping experience... we only stayed one night while visiting Grandma Nancy at the church's camp-out... but it still counts as camping!

Emily did great... she spent a lot of time in her stroller with the netting surrounding her, since the mosquitoes are HORRIBLE this season! She loved sitting by the camp fire... although she smelled like bacon afterwards! Honestly... she did. I blame Erin Jo and John for cooking brats over the fire... why else would she smell like bacon??!

She only woke up once in the middle of the night... so camping definitely agrees with her! Actually, since then... she's been sleeping pretty good overnight. The last couple nights she's gone 6 hours between feedings! She feeds around 7pm... then not again until 1am-ish. Last night she fed at 7:30pm, went to sleep around 8:30pm, and didn't wake up until 1:45am!! Good job, Emily! Mommy and Daddy like their sleep!!!

Here are a couple pix of Emily from yesterday... Auntie Erin Jo gave her the cute little stars & stripes piece... it's supposed to be a dress, but fit more like shirt since Emily is growing up so fast!

Here she is with "Grandma Judy"...





And with "Grandma Maggie"...

And of course, with Grandma Nancy!
















Later on in the day, she changed into a sweet tshirt that says "American Baby" -- I'll post pix later when I get them off of Auntie Erin Jo's camera.

Yes, I realize Emily is both American and British... our little dual citizen... but I thought Independence Day would be a bad day to wear anything NOT American!!!
