Fun With Food

She's going to be so embarrassed when she sees all these "food on my face" pictures later on in her life. But for the moment, they're absolutely adorable.

Rattleworm's Day at the Zoo

Rattleworm and Emma had a very nice time. He got to see all sorts of animals, and spent some face-to-face time with a long-lost cousin in the reptile house! It was a gorgeous day to go to the zoo.

We started at the Flamingos....

Then went to the Reptile House. She loves the interactive exhibit.


Turtles!!


Snake!

Rattleworm's long-lost cousin? What do you think?


One more turtle...

Off to see the Kangaroos!


Stopped for a snack by the Gibbons.... they weren't high up today.


Oh my... that's right. It's the World's Largest Stinkiest Flower!


Look Mom, I'm sitting on an Ape!

Bye-bye everyone!

Thank You Uncle Dean!

She loves, loves, loves her new drawing table. :) Thank you so very, very much. I cannot tell you how wonderful this is going to be for her!

17 Month Videos

Emma has been such a joy.... she's growing so fast and doing so many cute things on her own! The first video is of her putting her teddy bear to bed. She did it before, and we just cued her to do certain things. Bedtime is much easier now, btw.... we read our story, say our prayers, sing a song, and she goes into the crib. No crying, no whining. She's asleep within 10-15 minutes. She still wakes up about 2 times a night on average though. (we're nursing once before bed and once when she wakes up for good in the morning).



This is a really sweet video of her "walking" in Daddy's shoes. She actually put her feet in them all by herself and walked all this way on her own. She's done it several times since and just gets a kick out of how big Daddy's shes are!
