Trip to the Orchard Craft Fair

This past Sunday, it was finally a cool day. The craft fair at the orchard was something I had looked forward to taking Emma to for over a year now. Well, the craft fair was horrible. It was aisles of crap, with a few cute things sprinkled throughout. I picked up a cute knit hat for Emma, but that was all I got at the craft fair part of the orchard. Emma was asleep for my browsing, which was fine.

It was really nice to browse all the "moon stone" and fairy crafts, but I couldn't help but think that some of my crafty friends should have been there. They would have made a bundle on their baby items, and scrapbook style letters (to hang on your wall).

Here are some of the pictures from the day. I forgot my camera, so I took these with my phone, and "tweeked" with photoshop.

Goats, sheep and an ostrich (emu?) were in this pen togethere.
after squealing for the animals, she would look up at me to make sure I was watching her.

Getting her pumpkin. She was looking all over the place while in Pumpkin Land. I think she likes the color orange.

she was squealing at the deer that would eat right out of your hand. I never openly wasted so many quarters in my life, but the animals liked the corn I gave them, and Emma had a great time.

Here's the ostrich. This brings back bad memories of the drive through safari at great adventure, when I would call these big birds "pipsqueaks". Emma seemed to really like them. I still find them creepy. I don't like their red eyes.

In the car after a long day . She was asleep by the time I turned the key!

6 months tomorrow!

I really can't believe that Emma will be 6 months old tomorrow. Seems like only yesterday I was being a miserable bitch, not knowing I was in labor, then bringing her home! I have to say that, looking back, I feel sorry for anyone who dealt with me that day! (yeah, thats you Donna!)
Well, we've discovered that we're going to have to lock Winston up when its time to feed Emma. He goes banana's whenever she is having her brekkie or dinner.

She loves Winston, and obviously, loves her food! He got too close, and I don't know if she bit him, or was trying to kiss him. He wound up with a big carrot stain on his nose!

Today was also a good day for sitting. I am a pro at it, but usually she would tilt forward and land on her nose.. today was very good, with the help of the boppy pillow (best thing I bought)

Here she is playing with teething beads and her lion
Lion needs to teeth too!
So does noisy bear!
classy, isn't she?
stretching back to watch the naked chef.. and is happy that Jamie Oliver isn't really naked!

Today was the Christmas episode! he's shoving vegetables in little chickens..

So, now if she'd just hold her bottle, but one step at a time!!!!

damn you, picture people!!!!

Why do you have to be sooooo good! Emma is wearing a lovely outfit, given by John's friend Paul, and some bling that her nan gave her. The bow is thanks to 4 dollars at babies r us. I really didn't think they'd turn out good because she wasn't smiling like she normally does for the camera.

I can't wait!!!!!!

FINALLY! We got a new bed. I can't believe the prices of some beds either. We opted for a more expensive one, and didn't get a headboard or anything fancy like that, since by the time we got all of that, it would cost more than getting a good mattress. Besides, we don't know what will look good in the dark house we're moving into (doesn't have good light exposure- so its a dark house). We got the bed at a mom and pop store in DE, and got free delivery and NO TAX because they don't have stores in PA. So, we're just waiting for the bed to come in, and schedule delivery for when John is off.
