Another try?

I'm not sure if it's worth another try :) but I'm going to attempt to blog again. Facebook just seems so much easier, but this is a little more permanent, and there are a few people who don't Facebook, so I'll try to blog at least some. Plus, several giveaways give extra entries for promoting their giveaway in various ways on your blog. So I'll try again. Here's an update on life in the Wilson house. We are in the process of adopting 15 year old Ashley Wester. She's had a really tough life before she came to live with us in November, and she's adjusting to life with us. We're also expecting yet another family member at the end of this year. I'll find out next week if the new baby is a boy or girl, so I'm sure I'll post some ultrasound pics.

Battle of the blog

Just as I was determined I was going to keep up on my blog, Emma came down with RSV and we spent some time at Jackson County Memorial Hospital in Altus. She now owns her own nebulizer (which I am pleased to say we have not used in a couple of weeks) and got IV fluids, antibiotics, and oxygen. She wouldn't eat more than a teaspoon or so of baby food and didn't nurse well, so she lost a couple of pounds but is all caught back up now.
Emma's now sleeping in her own bed- not because we didn't enjoy snuggling with her all night anymore but because we were unintentionally waking her throughout the night and she sleeps much better in her own room.
Emma is also learning so much so fast! She has been pulling herself up to standing since she was 4 1/2 months old. She started crawling at 7 months, got her first (and so far only) tooth 2 weeks after that, and started "cruising" or walking holding on to couches, furniture, etc. at 8 months and is getting better and better at it! She has said some words although I'm not convinced she knows what she's saying. So far she has said Mama and Dada many times, Jaya (the dog) several times, Layla (one of the cats) a couple of times, and "Bye-bye Dada" once(well several times but only one occasion).
Pictures when I get home and more blogging (barring unforeseen circumstances) in the future.

I'm baaaaaccckkk...

Ok. I've been a total slacker. I really enjoy blogging, but it seems life has just gotten in the way the last couple of months. I'm determined to keep it up from now on. (We'll see) In stead of going on and on, I'll be brief and put up a few months' pictures in review a little later.
Well, we've all been ok, aside from Jason's gout and some stupid Oklahoma (or Snowklahoma as it has been renamed) weather. Thanksgiving was great, Christmas was wonderful too although stretched out due to a blizzard. Emma will be 7 months old tomorrow and is just so much fun! She's babbling almost constantly now, has been sitting up on her own for almost 3 months now and has pulled herself up on furniture for a couple of weeks now. She has tried many different fruits and vegetables and a couple of different meats. She loves trying to grab my food off my plate, but doesn't have any teeth yet so she doesn't get much.
I've been watching Jason's cousin's two kids- Rebecca who is nearly 4 and Cullen, 3 1/2 who have been having a blast playing with Emma everyday!
Pictures to come soon and I promise to be better about updating so come back soon!
