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??!!??

Nana & Papaw Come to Visit

The past several weeks Emma's Nana & Papaw have come to spend the evening and share a meal with us. This has been such a great thing for all of us! Nana & Papaw get some quality time with her, but best of all Emma gets alot of attention from them. We usually see them on Sundays, but after church Emma is hungry and having missed her AM nap, she is super ready for sleep! So, she eats and immediately goes to bed. She gets a few bits & pcs. of conversation w/ whoever happens to be there that day.

This first picture was from the first time. She was teething that day and I didn't realize it. So she was really fussy and not so keen on them being too close.

Although she did like playing down on the floor with Papaw. But...

The next week was so much better! Nana came dressed to play with her out at the pool, but it rained!! So, they adjusted and Nana played with her on the floor and Emma was soooo loving that! They had so much fun and Mommy got to fix dinner w/o her hanging on me! She even let Nana feed her!

The third week, was just super! It was Memorial Day and we went out to dinner first and Emma did very well. She just laughed and talked to them during dinner. Once we were home, we got some photos of all of us in our red clothes. These past 3 weeks of regular contact and more one-on-one attention from her Nana & Papaw have changed their relationship. She is much more at ease and happy to see them!! She's such a Mommy's girl right now that that is a huge accomplishment!
