M & M's Have Arrived

(Last month) We were at Nana's and Halie had left part of pack of M & M's. So, after Emma's dinner Nana gave her her very first one. Of course it was blue. You can see in this first picture that she is holding it and not quite sure just what it is all about...


Here we have the culprit!! The chocolate, candy introducing culprit!! :) I guess that is part of what Nana's are for, spoiling their grandbabies.


She is getting into it now! She's got blue candy coloring all over her hands and face.

She is signing "please" to Nana because she wants MORE!!! MORE!! MORE!!!


Well, at least her blue face matches her blue outfit!! We haven't bought any M&M's for her since this, as somebodies in this house wouldn't want to leave them alone. Cheerios make a better treat. Right??!!??

Fountains of Fun!

We went to our local Civic Center this evening, for an outdoor concert & car show. We wandered the vendor's booths, looked at cars, listened to music and finally walked past the fountain area. There were children and adults playing in and around and she was intrigued.



I had no idea that Emma would even be interested, as the last time we tried fountains she was terrified! (probably in May )

She marched right up and got friendly with another little boy and kept getting closer and closer. Getting splashed and splattered.

Until finally she was just right in there getting soaked and splashing in those jets of water! Not just the small ones either! Having a ball!


She is such an independent child and was so happy to run out into the fountains and play and occasionally come back to me and touch base. Or even just to look at me and make sure I could see her and she could see me.

Having no clue that she'd be interested, we weren't prepared for a soaking wet kid on the ride home! I stripped her down,changed her diaper and wrapped her in my jacket that is kept in the car. Hadn't used that jacket in months, but surely glad it was still in there tonight! I'm thinking that visiting the local fountains this week is on our "To Do List" now, with a swimsuit and a towel, of course!!

Just For Grammy In England!!

Mommy has wanted to take pictures with me in this romper for quite awhile and she somehow seems to forget. Well, today was the day...

These are taken especially for my English Grammy!! I know that you aren't here to see me grow and change, but soon I'll get to meet you! Until then, know that we do think of you often, talk about you...


...include you in our bedtime prayers each night and look at your picture. I have a vinyl photo album that I look at and carry around and included in that is your picture. Mommy tells me "that is Grammy and Gramps. They live far away in England and they love you very much"! I can't wait for October to get here so I can meet you and love you too!

Our Latest Fun with a Box...

Here we are trying out our latest Pampers 2009 hot rod! Daddy is taking Emma for a fast ride all around her room and she is loving it! They went 'round and 'round until she wore Daddy's arms out!

We've got to take some of our fave toys along for the hotrod ride!! Here is Mr. Frog.


She had to learn how to get out of the box this time. It took her a few minutes and several attempts, but she got it figured out! Such cheap entertainment in a box!!


LOL!!! Check out her hat! I had bought it on sale for Halie last year and she passed it back to us and we forgot to actually use it on her birthday, so now it is just part of her dress-up stuff. She will bring it to me and want it tied on!

Check Out the Face!

She has started making some funny funny faces lately! Here is a great picture of one of them! That wrinkled up nose and pursed lips. Then, she blows out of her nose and mouth making silly breathy noises. She's quite the ham!

She's wearing one of her many 4th of July outfits here. She ended up with about 5 or so, between Mommy & cousin Halie.
