Playing with Mommy

Emma's new favorite thing to do is to run around me in circles, and then climb on my back Every time I sit on the floor she gets so excited and runs to me to play this!

Coloring Eggs!

Emma was so excited to color eggs, until her hand got dirty! So, Mommy and Jacen did most of the coloring!

Fishy Puzzle

Emma had been bugging me for this fishy puzzle every time we went to Target. I finally gave in and got it for her. It came with a fishing pole that is magnetic. She loves it!

Our Day at the Zoo

After Mommy spent the weekend in St. Louis, we needed some Mommy & Emma time, so we went to the zoo on Monday. We had great weather and Emma had lots of fun. here she is posing with a Manatee.

This is not a pic from the zoo, but from the same day. I love this picture because she looks like such a big girl!

I told Emma that was a baby elephant and she didn't believe me. I think she was expecting a LITTLE baby elephant.

Here Comes Trouble

Jacen is officially "trouble." When Emma refers to him, she now says, "Here come's trouble." Right now she is saying, "I'm gonna go find Trouble." I guess that's Jacen's new nickname! Out of the mouth of babes...so true.

My Little Italian

Well, Emma has officially decided she is an Italian. When you ask her what her full name is, she says, Emma Sardeelllla....stretching out the end, like a true italian. She also proudly exclaims, "I'm a little Italian." Now, Shawn has her saying, "Capisce." We're in trouble with our little mobster :)

My Finished Room!

Mommy finally finished my room....and I love it! I love my new curtains and my name on my wall!

My Finished Room!

I Think!

The other night, Emma was playing her Diego 1, 2,3 game with Shawn and I. In this game, you draw a card (an animal) and have to match it to an animal on your playing board. Well, she drew a Tanager, which is a type of bird. She asked, "what's this?", and Shawn said, "a tanager." Then, Emma said, "No, it's a bird, I think." We were both dying laughing. Ever since then, that has become her new phrase, "that's a _____, I think." It's crazy to hear the things she comes up with!
