Week 42 ~ Busy Week

Well, I didn't take any pictures during week 41, but I made up for it during week 42. Emma used to like playing in her jumper but now she will squirm around and kick her legs all over if we try to put her in there. She does that when we try to put her in her walker and high chair sometimes as well. She just wants to be free to move about wherever she wants. This week, she has also mastered climbing up the stairs.

"I'm balancing the jumper on my head. It's a trick only I can do."

"Let me sing you a song. Mommy and Daddy have been watching a lot of American Idol lately. I think I should create an American Idol for babies."

"I'm ready for school."

"It was a nice day so we decided to take stroll. Mommy thought I would be cold, so she bundled me up."

"Like, oh my gosh. Do I look like a Valley girl or what?"

"I love to stick out my tongue."

"This is my surprised look."

"This is my happy look."

"Look Mommy...no hands!"

"Daddy says that he's a little worried about me since I only like to make withdrawals from my piggy-bank. I guess he's going to have to make more money for me then."

"Nicholas came over so I gave him one of my Gerber snacks. It was his first time. I think he liked it."

"I have to concentrate since the snack is so hard."

"Don't bother us while we're eating."

"Isabella liked the snack too."

"Nicholas, I have a pictures similar to this one. I had the snack all over my face the first time I ate it too."

Week 40 ~ Messy Emma

Emma has been enjoying these Gerber snacks that are like long pieces of croutons. I don't know why she likes them but it seems like a lot of kids do. Her hair has also grown out some, so now when she wakes up in the morning, she has some crazy looking hair. Even when I wet it down, it doesn't help.

"Yum. Mommy, that snack was really good. Can you tell I enjoyed it?"

"Can I have some more please? The snack looked big but for some reason, I don't think all of it made it to my stomach."

"Good morning. How's my hair today? I feel like baby Elvis."

"Hmm...I can't seem to curl my lip. Oh well. Can I have my breakfast now?"

Week 39 ~ New Friends

It's been a very busy month for me so I haven't been able to update the blog as frequently as I would like. Little Ms. Emma has decided to take only 2 naps a day for short periods, so that doesn't leave much time for me. Since my last blog update, Emma has had 2 play dates, learned how to climb up the stairs and to shake her head back and forth. In 5 more days, she will be 10 months old. 2 more months and she will be a year old ALREADY!!!

"Look at this huge baby-proof play area!"

Nicholas: "Help! Get me out of here."
Isabella: "I got you now Nick. You can't get away from me."

"Mommy, it's scary in here."

"This play land belongs to my new friends, Zachary and Tyler. They are twins! We were all born in May '07 except for Isabella."

"Hey Nicholas...lets put our heads together and find a way to break out of here."
