Nana and Papa Hinrichs come to visit!

Nana and Papa Hinrichs came to help us watch Emma this week, while Grandma and Grandpa Loerch are on vacation.  They have been such a huge help, and it has been so wonderful to see Emma playing with them!!!  Nana is such a natural and always has all of these great ideas about how and what they should play.  And, you can see Cooper fits right in (he is in love with my dad!!!!!  seriously...)

In the last picture, notice what Cooper has on his ear?????  El's phone!  We were sitting there and Em was pointing at "Peepee"...  She had set the phone on his ear so he could talk!  CUTE!  

Really she is so dang cute and so much dang fun lately.  

Love to all...

ps- her new favorite pass-time is picking her nose:)

"Coffee"

Emma is obsessed with coffee (among many other things), however she thinks that the creamer is coffee!  She watched me put it in my coffee every morning, and she often has to get a "poon" so she can stir it up and take a sip and say "i like it!".  But her new thing is to go to the fridge and take out the creamer and say coffee, meaning she wants some creamer in her cup.  So, being the terrible mom that I am, I give her CREAMER in a cup!!  just a sip, seriously:)  but, you can see the byproduct in the first picture!!!!

She is also a Yogi in training.... trying to balance money on her foot (the money is also another favorite pass-time!).

Her baby is again becoming one of her favorite things.  She is constantly rocking it in her arms, putting it over her shoulder and patting its back, changing its "p-u-me" diaper, giving it a bottle....  The new thing is that it has to sleep in her room, in the suitcase, all zipped up!!!!!

The adventure continues....  Love to all...

Lovin' Dad

Emma is IN LOVE with her Dad!!!  he can't go anywhere without her following, and she can't do anything without pulling on his hand and saying "come".  So of course she had to go out and "help" him grill for Grandma Loerch's birthday dinner!  It was cold out, hence her "hat head".

A cute story...  She watches me get coffee every morning, often out of the microwave.  So the other day she pulls her sleeve over her hand, picks up her juice glass and says "hot, coffee" then goes to the fridge and gets out the creamer, wanting me to pour it in her "cup of coffee"!

She is such a little copier lately and I just love it!

Love to all...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Little miss Emma was all pink and heats for Valentine's  Although she WOULD NOT cooperate for pictures!  She would either stick her tongue out or run at the camera!  That's the action shot you see.  I have 10 similar pictures on the camera, it was hilarious! 

Hope everyone had a lovely heart day....

More "Cheese"

"Cheese" feeding baby, with Papa Jim

"Cheese" eating a chocolate donut (I know,what mom does that?)

"Cheese" making baby walk (while spending ALL day alone with Dada!)

"Cheese" eating bananas with Dada and Pee-Pee (Cooper)

Love to all...

Super Bowl Party

Poor Auntie Becca....  look at her eyebrow and notice the white thing on it????  Well, that's Cooper slobber that went sailing through the air landed on her eyebrow!!!!!

We had a Super Bowl party here and all the family came, plus Elliott's mom who is visiting us from Michigan!   Emma decided she didn't need a nap, so she was DONE by about 5:54.  Here she is sitting on the couch with Uncle Chris (who she calls Becca!).  you can see how tired she is just sitting in coma!  

In the last picture she is lying with Cooper in his new bed.    Notice she has what looks like a long skirt on.  But in reality it is her overalls, and she doesn't like having them snapped up!  She will IMMEDIATELY unsnap them the moment they are snapped up!

Ok, gotta sleep...  love to all...
