Beauty Queen

She's a beauty... One in a million girls...

Well, we are a little biased, but the picture with the dandelion IN on in a million!

Thought you'd also like to see her modeling her new Ariel swimsuit. Look at that belly!!!

And finally, our sweet girl "dancing to the beat of her own drum" - literally. Who knows what music she was hearing in the middle of the air field! She is encouraged by clapping and "go girl"'s from dad!

Love to all...

Airplane!!!!

Emma is OBSESSED with airplanes. We have an airfield behind our house, so she always hears them. Well, when she hears a plane she stops what she is doing and reaches, and looks. When we were at the park today she started chasing after the planes, running with her arms in the air. When I came home and told El he said "we have to go to the airfield".

Here you can see Em waving goodbye to me, reaching with her dad towards a plane in the air, chasing after a plane all on her own, and FINALLY we saw a plane landing.

So we wonder, will she be a pilot like her Uncle Justin?

Cookie Monster!!!

Ok, so she goes running over to the pantry, pulls on the handle and makes noises that one might relate to a monkey! She wants a cookie..... They are organic and all natural, naturla sugar (still sugar, I know!), so we feel a little better, and we don't have any for breakfast:)

Well, today she wanted the whole container and was walking around with it, emptying them into the container, and handing them to me and El, then giving them to Cooper of course:)

We started our second week of swimming lessons today and Em was so great at goin gunder the water! She started making a face when I started counting "1 -2- 3", and would clap her hands when she came up, and got over her moment of shock.

She's a rascal...

Dancing Queen

Little Ms. Emma decided she didn't need more than a 1/2 hour nap today!!!! Poor girl was CRAZY tired by 5:45 tonight. But earlier today she was a dancing queen - with the shakers that JEssica gave her - she just shook them as hard as she could and took off dancing. Notice the red Crystal Light mustache?

Love to all....

Mama's Shirt

Ema was a disaster after breakfast the other morning, so I had her running around in just her diaper. Well, as I was folding clothes she was investigating them (As usual) and got my shirt on. I took a hair binder and tied a little knot in the back so she could wear it without tripping.

She is in love with vacuuming, wiping up the floors, sweeping (think she sees mom doing that a little bit lately?), etc. And as you can see she always had to see how something feels in her mouth!

I am not sure if I have reported that Emma knows that her wet wipes are for wiping her parts? Well, today she needed a wipe..... So she could wipe her BABY'S parts! Isn't that hilarious?? The baby that Gream Grams gave her for her birthday is her favorite right now (I even had to take the clthes off of it today so they could be washed). The baby goes almost everywhere, and I even had to put the baby stroller in the backseat with her today!

Oh and she went under water today at her swim lesson. We did it a few times and she didn't cry at all, just a little shocked. She is such a trooper!

Love to all....

Sweet Pea

Just a quick note as it's late.... Em's face is a little dirty in this picture from this evening - it is from the dirt she tasted. No good, I guess:) Another favorite past time is jumping on Cooper!

More later, Love to all...

First Swimming Lesson

She was so dang cute! I KNOW I am biased, but she got a couple of "looks", and her instructor thought she was cute too. Em was being goofy, so I get it. In these pictures she just noticed that there was a whale on her swimsuit.

So we practiced jumping in the water, but she preffered to sit and then reach for me and be pulled in, but that was pretty good. And we tried to get them to blow bubbles, and she tried! But pretty much just ate the water. She like being on her belly, and didn't mind getting her ears wet, but we're still working on being comfortable on her back. We'll see how it goes today!

Love to all....
