January-March

I was lucky enough to be able to take 12 weeks off from work on maternity leave with Emily. It was a great time for us to get to know each other and for Chris and I to figure out what in the world we were doing. Early in January, we had a huge snowstorm (huge for here anyway) and were snowed in for almost a week. We spent a lot of time visiting with family also. My grandparents came from Texas and stayed with us for a week in February.

Emily started to smile in February

In March, she started using her Bumbo seat to practice sitting up.

We worked hard on a Valentine's Day treat for Daddy!

All the great-grandparents on my side of the family
