Still loving it!

Emma still loves teasing the dog with her cookie.  It doesn't alway end the way she wants.  Here is round 2 of Emma and Daisy's cookie "talk."  I think the dog is getting smarter.

Spot-opotamus

What is this!? Emma broke out into a rash following a fever Friday night and it just keeps getting worse. We've been the the pediatrician and they say it is a virus. Well, okay but which one??? Poor girl is not comfortable!  (click on the pictures to make them bigger)

Cookies=Power

I believe this video speaks for itself. Note the evil little laugh coming from Miss Emma around the 20 sec mark! Poor Daisy!!

If it makes you feel better, that cookie eventually fell onto the floor and then into doggy's belly. So, Daisy got the last laugh after all!  

Chewin' and Movin'

Emma's chompers! They are getting bigger by the day. The bottom left came in and then over night the right one popped up! She is growing up so fast.

And this morning she surprised us with CRAWLING!!!  Best Saturday ever!  These were her first "steps" if you will, so she was wobbly and slow.  Just a few hours later, girlfriend can move!  She is currently helping us to identify all items in our home that baby should not touch :)   

Summer Fun at the Early Learning Center!

These are some pictures that Emma's teacher sent in an email.  Their current theme is the beach!  Here Emma and her friend are playing with sand (aka cornmeal) and buckets.  They also have explored shells.  I L-O-V-E it when I get these pictures.  It makes my day to be busy at work and find these lovely pictures in my email! 

my beach bunny!

Emma updates!

So it has been brought to my attention by "anonymous"  that my blog needs to be updated :)  The batteries in my camera are dead so I don't have any pictures to share tonight.  If I did have a picture to post you would see Emma with two pearly white chompers in the bottom of her mouth. Gone are the days of gummy smiles.  They have been replaced with love bites and Emma's snake impression (she sticks her tongue in and out of her mouth at lightning speed....I think she is feeling her new teeth).  She loves to clap and has even attempted crawling a bit.  She hasn't mastered it yet but she gets around pretty well.  She will get an xray this week to rule out any muscular/skeletal reasons for her delay in crawling (we think it is the weight of her big ole bootie weighing her down.  

   clapping and doing the snake tongue

We are working on learning the word "no."  This weekend she was trying to climb up the cd tower and I kept interrupting her adventure with a stern "no."  She stopped what she was doing each time and I thought I was the best and smartest parent ever (okay, so she is pretty smart for learning so fast too....I can't take all the credit).  Just when I couldn't get any more smug, my little girl went right back to climbing up the cd tower saying out loud "noooo,noooo,nooo!" over and over.  So now I think, SHE thinks she is supposed to say "no" when she climbs.  BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!  :) 

Look what Emma grew!
