St. Patty's Day - Chicago Style

We went downtown on Saturday to check out the green river and the other St. Patrick's Day festivities. We had a great time, and Emerson experienced some "firsts" along the way: his first time facing forward in the stroller, his first ride on public transportation, and his first clown.

FIVE MONTHS

Emerson is five months old today! I can hardly believe it! We are having the best time watching him grow. He is AMAZING!!!

Fun in the City

Last weekend, Emerson's grandparents and aunt came to Chicago to visit. We had a blast!! We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Field Museum, and we walked around our new neighborhood - Roscoe Village.




Here are some pics of Emerson playing around the house!

Big Changes

A lot has happened since we last wrote.

January 26: Emerson went to the doctor. He weighed 16 lb. 6 oz. and was 26.25 inches long. He is still in the eightieth percentile for weight and the ninetieth percentile for height.

January 31: Emerson took his first plane ride and the whole Amrich family moved to Chicago. We are all enjoying city life...even with the foot of snow we got last week!!

February 6: Emerson was 4 months old.

Here are some pics of our ever-growing little man!!

Another Photo Shoot

Brian and I won a radio contest in August and part of our prize was a photography session with Bryan Snipes of Snipes Photography. Please check out Emerson's newest pics. It's hard to believe he'll be 4 months on Feb. 6.
