Emmy Surfing

Emmy loves playing at the computer. Here she’s checking out daddy’s Facebook account and learning how to use the mouse. She’s actually very good at discovering unknown features on the computer, which means daddy gets to turn off the features later!

My apologies to little Emmy in this one- she’s getting another round of teeth so it looks like she’s drooling a bit. She’s very excited to check out the computer!

Valentine’s Day!

OK, so I realize it was more than a month ago, but these Valentine’s Day pictures are too good to pass up posting on here. Emmy has a very silly look, I dipped some strawberries in chocolate for Julia, and she made an excellent meal! It was a very nice Valentine’s day, indeed. Hopefully our next posts won’t be so long in the making… and hopefully we can get the rumored walking videos online soon!

I woke up early to dip some strawberries in chocolate for Julia. It was much easier than it looks (hey, if I can make them look like this on my first try, more people should try it). Just don’t tell Julia how easy it was or she’ll have me make them more often.

So Emmy’s a bit of a messy eater, but that’s not really a surprise. She gets really hyper when she realizes she’s always the center of attention… which just feeds the hysteria.

Julia made an excellent meal for Valentine’s day including her famous Death by Chocolate Cake and baked linguini. This picture makes me hungry.

Cousins Part Two

Emmy had a great time with her two cousins, Logan and Joshua. Even though they’ve been gone for over a week now, she still remembers their names and the great time they had. Hopefully it won’t be so long before we get to see them again!

Logan loved building and destroying towers with his Uncle Alex.

Emmy made sure to introduce Joshua to all her toys.

A Bedtime Book

Emmy’s new favorite book is from the Care Bears, and she likes to read it almost every night. This night we actually read it twice, which is about the only variation she likes. She’s a much better sleeper these days, and she’ll even fall asleep by herself after she gets a nice long drink of water and her blanket, which she’s becoming more and more attached to, especially when she’s sad.

Cousins come to visit!

Emmy’s two cousins came to visit! Logan and Joshua (and even their mom) finally got in last night after their Chicago flights were delayed a day. We had plenty of snow of our own here to greet them, and they played for a long time today with Emmy! Unfortunately, the boys were too excited for naps, but hopefully they are a little more worn out now after playing for a long time. Emmy was excited to play – we forgot our camera, but we stole a picture from Beth of the three cousins! They’ll be here all week, so expect more pictures to come. Thanks for coming to visit, Beth!
