Too much sun!

I have the busiest 2 year old ever! Let me tell you...she is in the wholw whining faze and whines about EVERYTHING! When her cousins are home, she is tons better. She has someone to play with more her size and keep her entertained while I am attempting to get something done. So, this weekend was a 3 day weekend. We haven't had the best of weather lately, but this weekend was so sunny and warm outside that the kids got to play outside all weekend. Sunday we went outside around 11 am and were outside until almost 4! Emily's uncle Rob made the toy set outside a little more 2 year old safe so Emily could climb on it, slide down, swing, etc. The kids made a fort underneath the picnic tables with blankets and pillows. They ate lunch out there and had a blast. Poor Emily, she is so fair skinned that she burns so easily. Where she got this skin tone I will never know! Brought her inside around 4 and her poor little arms were burnt. She was being so crabby, mainly because I didn't have the heart to bring her inside to take a nap when she was having so much fun outside and she was in the sun quite a bit. I layed her on the couch to watch some cartoons while her Aunt and I went to town to get Subway for dinner. When I came back, this is what I found. My little angel who hates to take naps, just passed out on the couch. It was the sweetest thing ever, I had to get a picture of it. She just looked so sweet.

Her vocabulary is developing quite a bit as well. The other day she walked up to me and said, "Mommy, you're pretty." It was so sweet. Moments like that just melt my heart and make a horrible day so perfect. I take in every moment with her, even the bad and enjoy it so much. To realize how lucky I am to have her in my life.
