We got to wear pants!

We FINALLY got to wear some pants.... It makes me sad that some of the cute clothes I have Miss Emma will never wear!!!
STOP GROWING BABY GIRL!!!!

Emma and Guinness playing chase. They doe this all day long! She gets Guinness going and then she just chases Emma. It is amusing once it gets started! Sabol joins in on occasion!

trying to figure out why we aren't going outside today.... I usually tell her it is too hot.... Today she was confused. I was telling her it was raining too hard!

She thought she was going to break out!

Loving her Guinness


Story time with Guinness



This is for Daddy in case you are missing your G!

just another day

Today we had a great morning! Emma had her friends Jack and Lael over and they did some water time. I got no pictures:(

After sleeping 13.5 hours I wasn't sure what our afternoon nap was going to look like or what the afternoon would be.... We both took a nice long nap:) It was wonderful!!!

After that we just played inside....

Apparently the shower was the fun place to be today:)




And of course we had to have Baby Einstein to entertain some!

QUIET TIME!


What is Quiet Time?? Quiet time is a VERY important time for this Mommy! It takes place during Emma's morning nap. We have (or working on) transitioning from 2 naps to 1 nap. So during her morning nap time, I load her crib with toys and let her go to town with them. At first she did not like it and CRIED/SCREAMED! She soon learned that she mind as well play because she is staying in there! In the beginning she would fall asleep about every other day and I would let her only sleep for 45 minutes or our afternoon nap and bedtime would be all messed up:) The last week or two she hasn't fallen asleep at all.... UNTIL TODAY! After about 45 minutes she started to whine and I figured I would wait 5 more minutes it stopped and I heard banging of toys.... Then all of a sudden.... SILENCE..... This is what I found!!!




I took pictures and she didn't flinch with the flash. I turned off the sound machine and she didn't move! I hated to wake her but I knew if I wanted some peace this afternoon and a good night sleep.... I had to wake her.... She just looked SO CUTE!!!!


I LOVE THIS BABY GIRL!!!
She is getting so big:( Much too fast!!!

PEEK-a-BOO

She LOVES her dogs!!!



There could possibly be the word DOG in this video. I think Da-da and dog are the same word! DA!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!



It is not so easy to do the sign with Emma anymore....
We had to be a bit more creative on this one:)
The rain almost washed it away before we could get a picture with her and the Birthday wish!!!



Happy Birthday Grandma!
I LOVE YOU!!!

WHAT A DAY!!!

Well today started off great! Emma woke up happy and we headed to the library for story time.... She did good but she is VERY active..... As a teacher I know what that means:) She did good but just didn't want to sit with me...
We left there and went to do an errand. We made sure Lilly STAYED in the car so we wouldn't loose her.... We got home played and ate lunch and played some more. We read a few books went to head to bed.... I started my FRANTIC search for LILLY! SHE WAS NOWHERE!!! My heart started to pound Emma was starting to fuss and she wanted lilly and her bed. She was nowhere to be found so I called where we had gone and she was not there.... I looked ALL over the house again and she was nowhere so we got in the car. We drove around the parking lot and looked for her and she was not there. I wanted to get sick. Emma and Mommy and Daddy can NOT survive without Lilly!
We got home and I am looking all over for her and can't find he. Emma is now screaming in her bed because she wont go to sleep without Lilly. I look in the bathroom and there she is in the bathtub!!!!!! I guess my little baby girl can now open the doors and shut them!!! Guess I will be purchasing some door locks this weekend!!!!

OH LILLY I LOVE YOU!!!!
I don't think she will be leaving this house ever again!!!!

just a few more....

Someone forgot to tell me it was crazy hat day I guess..... Lets see how many hats I can wear in one day! Notice Guinness following close behind- It is how their day goes!

Thank Goodness for our Monthly free books!

Today Emma enjoyed playing in "time-out" !
She was not in TO she just liked playing in there!!!

Just some randoms...

We are finally feeling better here! Besides a bizarre "rash" that Emma has but it is looking better! Hopefully it is nothing and will go away!
These pictures are backwards from our day so far....

This is why I can not pack up Emma's stuff while she is here. I turn around and she is taking out what I put in!


Emma and Guinness have really bonded lately. She just sits and hits and teases her all day. Then they run around the house. Guinness chasing Emma and Emma just laughing away! I think Guinness thinks she can tire her out....I don't think so!

Yes, I am going to have that child that people look at in stores and say....
AHHHH she dresses herself!

This morning I decided to skip our walk and do water time. Emma wants to go out all day long but it has been just too hot for her (ok well maybe really for me)! I figured we would make use of the time we had outside. When Jeff went to work we went outside for about an hour. She was loving it!!



This one is from the other day. My lil bag lady loves to carry anything and everything.
This is a waterbottle from her friend Mackensie and when she realized you could carry
it as a "purse" she fell in LOVE!

After 20 minutes of getting ready to get out side...
Mommy says.....
"OK TIME TO GO IN!!!!"
After being out for 10 minutes!



This is what I have done for about a week! Lots of books and Baby Einstein!!!

Finally better!!!

(*** NOTICE ALL THE DROOL IN THE PICTURES! SHE WAS A MESS!)

Last week was not a great week for Miss Emma! She had what I think was a bad case of coxsakie and I know it couldn't compare to others but for us.... It was the worse! She basically did not eat from Tuesday evening until Saturday.... She did eat yogurt and I don't blame her if she NEVER wants it again because she ate so much of it because she wouldn't drink either!

OH HOW I LOVE MY GUINNESS!



So we don't have many pictures from the week or anything special to share.... We spent a lot of time inside..... We had a playdate set up or last week that we rescheduled to this week but both of us feel that it is best if we don't get together. Her son is just about 6 months and he does not need this and they are going on vacation so I don't want to share this when they have a fun few weeks planned. Emma will just have to meet handsome Owen in a few weeks!
LOVING MY DOGGIES!

LOOK HOW PATHETIC I AM!!!!
WHY ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE MOMMY???

MOMMY LET ME PLAY WITH ANYTHING WHILE I WAS SICK!!!!
Even her expensive sunglasses:)



OUR LITTLE BAG LADY.... Again notice the drool!


And mommy let me play with the doggy collar. She supervised me I promise!!! I also DO NOT know how to buckle it yet!


HELPING WITH THE LAUNDRY....




Getting a little better.....


One thing that Emma has REALLY enjoyed reading is her Baby Einstein alphabet books (from Jack). She will take them and sit next to Guinness and it looks like she is reading to her. Of course whenever I try to get a picture one of them gets up.... This is the best I could do!

Just one of my girls:) ALL TUCKERED OUT AFTER A DAY WITH EMMA!!!
