Warning: Reading This Blog May Result in Exhaustion

Today I started my day with a little mountain climbing....

Then I taught my mom what happens when she gives me

half a sliced banana and one tablespoon of Nutella

(P.S. she found me standing on my high chair tray, not seat)

I'm really into climbing

standing on furniture..

and jumping....

sometimes I don't even care if there is no one to catch me

I like to wear Dora "big-girl" panties

(although I've never used the potty)

Singing and Dancing

Me: Emma, you are so wild and so naughty!

Emma: It's pretty funny momma (in other words, "where's your sense of humor mom!)

Happy Birthday Bubba!

Today is Emma's Bubba's (Dan's dad) birthday! Don't get me started on this guy. We think he is pretty amazing!!! Emma adores him and asks for him often. My neighbor's daughter also asks about him ever since that time he was working outside with his shirt off :) Happy Birthday to a guy who goes by many names (Husband, Dad, grandpa, Doug, Bubba, Hottie, Handyman) We hope you have a great day!!!

(which I wonder how we ever lived without it)

Tubby Monster

Emma'isms

Yesterday Emma was sitting on my bed reading a book as I prepared to take a shower (with the door open of course). As I opened the shower curtain and stuck one leg in I heard my daughter's sweet little voice say..................."hey chunky butt."

I should first mention that "chunky butt" has been our little term of endearment for Emma. She has a cute little bum and every time she takes a "tubby" we say "hey chunky butt" and she runs around the house naked (I know it's weird, but its funny).

I think we may have to chose our words more carefully. So that's what I'll do.......I'll also start hitting the gym more regularly :)

As for Emma, it turns out she is also allergic to penicillin :( On the bright side, she is feeling fabulous! Today she said "Daisy is barking at the other dogs" I think it is her longest coherent sentence yet :)

Another Antibiotic Allergy?

Emma has an ear and throat infection. Oh, and my lifetime nemesis, pink eye. She started taking Augmentin yesterday because she is allergic to Omnicef-the "go to drug" for most kiddie bugs. Today after 2 doses (and 24 hours) on Augmentin her 102 fever finally came down to 100 (hey, it's a start). She also developed hives, similar to the ones she got with Omnicef. We are running out of things to treat her with. *sigh* I guess we will be back to visit our favorite pediatrician in the morning.

Conversations with Emma

It is Raining

...but don't worry. Emma is 100% prepared with all this cool loot she found in the closet (note the trail of evidence behind her).

Well, she's more like 50% ready. She is in a serious nudist phase right now. It is a constant battle to keep a diaper on her at this point.

She loves shoes.
