Play Date

My friend Cassandra from work has a 6 month old daughter. Since it is officially winter weather outside now, Cassandra comes over now to use the tanning bed. In the mean time, I get to play with Lilly!!! This was the first day that she came over. Emily had so much fun.

I didn't even ask her to hug the baby, she just did it. How cute is this?!

Dishes

I have the most perfect daughter! She LOVES to help clean. Yesterday she decided that she was going to help with dishes. Had to get a picture because she looked just too cute!

A day with uncle Rob

Last December when I was back in OR for Christmas, my dad have given Emily a cookie for breakfast while I was taking a nap because that is what she wanted he said! This morning, Emily wanted her uncle Rob up, so she went upstairs to wake him up. Emily wanted a cookie, so uncle Rob gave her a cookie. This is what I saw when she came to get me! A chocolate face!

And, a first for Emily today...Rob and I were outside shooting his .22 while Emily was "taking a nap." Yeah, she decided that today was another non nap day! Any ways, while Rob had me outside practicing shooting, Emily came upstairs and wanted to join us outside. She opened the screen door and went over to her Rob. He picked her up and put her finger on the trigger and helped her shoot. She was so excited! She pointed to where she had just shot and said, "Mommy, whoah...a gun!!! So, we had to take a picture of it. Don't worry, she was perfectly safe!

Monkey in a Tree

My friend Kim from work is dating this new guy who makes balloon animals. So of course me being the person that I am, asked him if he would make me a monkey balloon since I call Emily my little monkey. Kim asked him while we were at work, and he called an hour later and said that not only had he made me a monkey, but he made a tree to go along with it. Again, being the person that I am, told him that there better be a coconut in the tree! Laughing out loud after I had said this knowing that I was being sarcastic, he quickly replied that he already had!! Being the nice guy that he is, then asked if I would also like bananas in it as well! I respectfully declined! Told him that he had already done more than enough. I went and got after I got off of work last night and put it in the living room so Emily would see it when she got up this morning. She LOVES it! Wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, and freaked out when it started to fall over, but as soon as she realized that it was as light as a feather, she had so much fun playing with it.
This is when she was still a little apprehensive about it. I thought that it was just a cute pose though.
Ah, yes...Dora the Explorer came on...what balloon mom?!
Finally getting the nerve to touch it! This is when it started to fall over and she freaked!

Afternoon walk

It was a nice afternoon, so Emily and I decided that we would walk to the end of the road and pick up Kenny from the bus stop. Of course she had to stop and pick a flower in the middle of the grass on our way to the bus stop.
Such a little ham...I love it!
The very last part of our walk...I kept telling her that we were going to get Kenneth and she was running down the road to go get her "Tenneth!"
And we reached our destination! She just looks so small standing under our street sign!
And to kill time while we waited for the bus, she played with her doll in the rocks. This was her first walk down the road today. I am so paranoid about cars coming up the small hill and Emily running and getting hit. Tried it today, and she did great...stayed within 5 feet of me. Got to get in more walks before it starts snowing next month.

New Dance

Saturday afternoon we were watching the movie, Stomp the Yard. We had started to watch it, but I had to leave for work. After I left, Emily decided that she was going to copy what they were doing on the movie! Luckily, Aunt Jen and Uncle Rob were home with her and took this video to show me what she did after I left. I thought that it was just too cute and had to post it.

Uncle Rob Pictures

While waiting in a waiting room this morning, uncle Rob took this picture of how cute Emily was being while patiently waiting with us. Kind of looks like she is about to do something I think! And of course, I had to work tonight, so aunt Jen and uncle Rob were left in charge of Emily. Rob took this picture of Emily after she was done eating her dinner. They said that she only had a chicken pot pie....hmm...I dunno about that one!!!

And a funny Emmy story: her time out is to go stand on a door...well technically at the door...can't really stand on a door! But, either way...most of the time now I just have to give her the look and she just goes by herself...I know, I know...she is well trained! Any ways, the other day I had given her the look because she started to throw a fit because she wasn't getting a piece of cheese like she wanted. She got the look, stomped off (which irritates me to no end), went into the living room, got her baby doll and then went to the door. I thought that she was going to hold her baby, but nope. She stood her baby on its feet and put it's nose on the door while holding it's hand! I really wish I would have thought to get the camera. It took all I had to not laugh. After I asked her if she was going to stop crying and she said yes, I told her that she could get off of the door. So, she continued to hold her baby's hand and said, "Come here baby, we are done now!" And proceeded to walk her baby into the living room and sit her down in her chair! It was the cutest thing ever. I love my daughter!
