Was it Xmas or Easter???

With the amount of loot that Emmi got one would think it was Xmas, new kitchen, new picnic table, new Kettler Trike, new golf clubs. Lucky little girl. :) Here are some pics of her new toys, Easter day, and her just having fun on the deck.

On Top of It All

Munchkin is on top of it all. She has managed to climb our kitchen chairs (our table is counter top height so chairs are higher than normal chairs) to get to the laptop on the table, climbs on to the office chair to get on top of the desk, scaled the bathroom cabinet to get on top of the counter, stand on the open dishwasher to get a better view, and will now take leaps from the footstool to the couch in our sun room. Here are a few pics we have managed to capture of her in action.


She is also in transition to one nap. We have been fortunate to get two naps up until recently. Back a month or so ago she started to play in her crib sometimes for one of the naps but was usually only one day tops a week. This has now become the normal so we figured it is time.

We have also gotten a wireless web cam so I can keep an eye on her when I am in the office. Here is what I caught her doing. Chillin being a TV Junky.

Happy Easter

The mommies group I am part of had an Easter Egg hunt today. They split it up for under 3 and then over 3. Emmi cleaned up in the under 3 and then took part in the over 3 because she is that good. So here are some pics of her in action from the day.

And she was off.
So many what to do what to do.

Checking out the loot at home.

Her cousins better watch out as she has her game on for next weekend. :^)

Such a big girl.

Well this weekend Emmi had two new things.. one is I made her a new sleep sack since she is getting so big (I swear she gets heavier and bigger by the day) and the other is she is now sleeping with a pillow in her crib. She had been using Puddles as her pillow or a blanket so figured why not get her a real pillow. She started with nap time yesterday and then slept on it all night last night.
While Jacob and I cleaned up our front gardens and bushes Emmi played. She played hard which lead to a spill down the stairs and another up the driveway. Her face can tell you all about it.
Daddy likes to use water bottles while working out. As you can see who else likes them.

Here she is in the shower with me one night last week.

The word "no".  It can mean many things.  Of course there is the obvious, like "no, I don't want to go to the store" or no, it wasn't me that backed my car in the garage with the bike on the roof".   But aside from the typical meaning, who would have thought it could mean so many other things such as "Emmi, what is the lion doing in this book?",  "No" or "Emmi, what are you carrying?",d  "No" or "Emmi, how does that mouth full of sand taste", "No".  Imagine if in the adult world the acceptable answer to any question would be "no".  "Jacob, we have a 9am conference call to discuss the North American refresh", "No" or "You owe $20000 in taxes", "No" or "Congradulations Mrs. and Mr. Burns, you're pregnant", "No (*that's a little joke)".

Slides

Emmi loves slides. She started by going down the little one over and over again.



This weekend when Daddy came with us we could tag team. Emmi wanted to try the big twisty slide. Now the one at the park is not very kid & parent friendly. When we gave up on that we decided to just let her go. Having her go down on her belly is so much easier and she just loves it. She was too quick to capture her on the big slide.



Here are some pics from the day.

Checking out the ducks.

A is for Apple

The other day when I was getting Emmi's lunch ready for baby camp she took the apple out of my hand. Unsure what she would do with it and she proceeded to eat it. Well of course right.. This was the first time she ate a fruit like that herself, she eats bananas and cut apples or pears but never a whole one.
I think I have a girl who will be following in my footsteps. While Sara and I were working on Benjamin's weighted lap blanket, Jacob entertained. If he didn't Emmi was climbing on the chair to try to use the machine her self.
