coke, cupcakes and kids

So Miss Emma is officially no longer a "tiny baby". I don't know about everyone else, but for some reason, 3 months seems like a big milestone to me. Once she hit 3 months, she is a big baby :) 3 months is a big deal--she'll start rolling over soon, she holds her head well by herself, she stays awake happily cooing for longer periods of time--and the biggest one of all is course no longer needing to sterilize her bottles :) I realize of course that the 3 month mark is no magical number, but still for all 4 of my babies, I faithfully sterilized the nipples till they reached 3 months. Then I stopped :) I make a point of taking a picture of Miss Emma on the 14th of every month. So here are some of her official 3 month photos :

Now I realize I may be just a TINY bit biased :), but seriously, isn't she absolutely adorable?! She smiles all the time now, which of course brings joy to everyone who gets to see it. Rhys will come up to me and say "Mama, Emma did a really big smile for me!!" I love how much all three of them love Emma.

And because you always need to have something crafty:), here a couple more cards I made for the Verve challenge last week:

I don't really like how the balloon one looks in the photograph. The colors are much prettier in real life. oh well... I used a gem to hold the strings together at the bottom. Its always nice to have a little more bling, right? These papers are just some from stash that I have had for ages. The balloon stamps are Verve. The strings are made from PTI'S rustic twine.
I like how this one turned. Alot of it is how the colors go tother--I love any shade of pink or purple with brown. And there's a butterfly:) These pattern papers are from K& Co. The sentiment stamp is Verve. The butterfly is Quickutz (of course:) )
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are staying cool :)
