Introducing the Perez Family: My Apologies!

Okay, I've been terrible, I know. Eventually I'll get Ray to update for once. *Gasp* Horror, I know! Anyways, we've been pretty good. Emi has been crawling like crazy, getting into EVERYTHING. She loves it, we love it but wish she hadn't figured it out THIS soon. *laughs* It's nice though. It means she's curious like us, trying to figure things out. And I love the fact that I can say her name and she'll come right to me with the biggest grin on her face. Emi will be six months on January 16th, which is fun. She had a weigh in and length check on the 2nd for WIC where we found out she was just under 25 inches long and 14 lbs 14 oz. Not too bad for her age. I think right on target for height, but still under on her weight.

Emi started solids last month but got her first taste of rice cereal. She doesn't like it on it's own but LOVES it in her bottle. Downs the thing in nothing flat! So funny. Oh and today we went out bowling with another military mom with a 13 month old daughter named Brianna. Emi and Bri seem to get along swimmingly, though the first time Emi crawled on Bri she was like, "What the heck?" but eventually thought it was funny. As usual, I sucked at bowling but had loads of fun. For once Ray didn't win either game. Anne beat us during both games.

Let's see, I'm still scrapbooking, which is fun. I had a crop this afternoon and have one tomorrow night as well. It will be nice to crop without having Emilee with me. Ray will be taking care of her. Also, next tuesday, I start back at school and have two campus classes, and I have a work study position. So on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'll be busy from pretty much 730 am till 5pm and Emilee will be staying with Kim, who's watching her for us, which is very nice of her. This being the first time I'm away from her this often, I'm probably going to be that mom that sets down a few ground rules just cause I'm a worrywort, but I'm sure Kim will understand.

Ray's been pretty good. Work has been annoying him on and off, but overall I think he's doing good. He's working towards getting promoted to SGT, which will be nice for him. I think he put in a packet to go to WLC which is a leadership training thing I believe. It will be a month long thing where I won't see him. It will definitely suck, but it's all to help him further himself, so I'll be supporting him 210%. He's also doing this thing that transfers all the schooling and stuff he's done with the military into civilian credits which will be nice. It will make finished his degree that much easier.

So there's that for you guys. To appease you all for my shoddy updates, here are a few pictures.
