My First Road Trip

This weekend Emma had a chance to meet her Great Aunt Mary and her family.  When Emma arrived late on Friday night Aunt Mary and Conrad greeted her and she was rocked to sleep.

Aunt Mary definitely has a way with babies.  Emma rested so quietly when Aunt Mary would rock her.

As soon as she woke up, the festivities began.  The day started with a visit from her second cousins.  Mom's cousin Shannon and her husband Michael came over with their daughters, Riley and Alex.  Emma had so much fun watching the girls play.  However, we were very tired after a few hours with so many people.

 

Here is Riley, Aunt Mary, Alex and Emma

Nap time was a struggle because we wanted to continue playing, but finally we took a break.  As soon as nap time was over, more people arrived for more fun.  Mom's cousin Karen came over with her twins, Ava and Alton.  Ava and Alton played with almost every toy in the bin and Emma decided that she wanted to do some tummy time play herself.  Mom thinks that Emma was starting to realize that these bigger kids knew some things she didn't.  When Emma pursued tummy time, she tried harder than she ever had before.  She made it across the blanket more than three times before deciding enough was enough.
