When I picked E up from daycare today she was sporting her first ever ponytail! While I obsessed over the cuteness she obsessed over the tiki torches in the backyard. Another beautiful night spent outside!...
Tiptoe Through the Tulips — 19 Months
At 19 months, Emerson loves to play outside and doesn’t come back inside the house without a fight. Thanks to the unseasonably warm weather this year we’ve already racked up several walks to the park, collected all the sticks in our yard (and every other yard on the way to the park), made a few trips around town in the bike trailer with dad, and jogged with mom in the stroller — she’s a great passenger! Going hand-in-hand with the great outdoors, Emerson is deeply fascinated by animals. She has learned to say bird, dog, puppy, kitty, woof, meow, and tweet. We are working at distinguishing dogs from all other...
18 Month Photos
This morning we had an appointment bright and early at 8 am for Emerson’s 18 month photos! She was very camera-shy and smiled with her tongue hanging out for most of the shots but we had a fun time anyway and got some cute photos in the process. Here are a few of my favorites!...
18 Months: A Day in the Life
Today I stalked Emerson with the camera to capture her latest and greatest! It’s been a while since I’ve shared any milestone updates, so today I made a point to follow Emerson around with my camera to show you what she’s been up to… She’s been very interested in arranging, stacking, re-arranging and grouping objects lately. With a little help from Grandpa, this is the makings of a foam shapes tower — I imagine someday all 84 pieces will be stacked! After breakfast we said goodbye to Grandpa Gene and his beard until the next visit. I’m sure he was ready to get home and relax after all the playing...
Birthday Flashback
Happy 1/2 Birthday, Big E! In honor of Emerson’s half-birthday coming up in a few days, I decided to finally gather up the 1 year birthday party photos! I was so wrapped up in everything going smoothly that day, I barely took any pics myself (lucky for me that’s what grandmas are for)! It’s fun to look back and really see how quickly they grow up! I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months! Thanks to everyone who made this such a fun day! ...
