Fall weekend

Daddy and his girl taking in a beautiful sunset behind our house.


Counting for hide and seek...she has a tough time with the "no peeking" part

Emma celebrates an "un-birthday" earlier in the week. Emma is so excited for her birthday in January and the party she wants to have, that we decided to start practicing now. :)

Wow...now that is a look.

Emma adorned her head with her little mermaid undies. She is not too keen on wearing them the right way lately, explaining "i don't like big girl undies...i just love my diapers." Ah, the ups and downs of potty training. We'll get there soon enough.

Atleast shes wearing the undies on some part of her body. It's a step in the right direction.


An early morning playing in the yard. Look at those eyes half mast... don't think she was all the way awake here yet.



Emma is really loving the fall weather. Every morning on the way to daycare and during walks and hikes she says, "look, look! the leaves are changin!'" with this amazed little sound to her voice. She also likes to watch the geese who seem to fly over our house in abundance on their journey down south. She'll point to them and say " a pattern of geese!"

Emma and Mommy went to Michelle Stevens baby shower on Sunday. This was quite easily the highpoint of Emma's weekend, if you were to ask her. She was talking about it all weekend and is on a kick of talking about babies lately. She will take her babydolls and stuff them up her shirt, "look, i gotta baby in my bew-ly!" So, to see the real thing ( a belly full of a real baby) was pretty wonderful for her. Emma had a blast at the shower. She made a new friend, Stephanie and, most importantly, there was cake and balloons... the two staples that equal greatness in Emma's eyes.

Here Emma is, posing with the gift for Michelle. Daddy had drawn a baby in a diaper on the envelope and we had asked Em to color in the picture for Michelle. Emma used all different colors and drew lots of little circles around the diaper and said, "mommy this is lots of poop." My God, is she is Shear.

Emma continues to love drawing, more than just about anything. In this shot, she had just drawn the picture of a person. She is able to draw people with hair, legs, arms, body and a face.

Emma's other passion, as mentioned before, is babies. Wrapping them up, holding them, feeding them and rocking them. Oh yeah, and sometimes she likes to throw them. But, ever the caretaker, she is quick to go pick them up and give them medicine and bandaids.
