Bubbles

Emmi has been in love with bubbles for some time. We usually play with them while waiting for Daddy to come home from work. She has now mastered blowing bubbles herself.


Of course we cant forget the monster shed almost finished.

Cape Cod continue....

Emmi has been having a blast at the beach. She did let out a scream when she saw the crabs we found at Woodneck beach but at the end was picking them up herself. As we built sandcastles for her she would keep getting us water. Today takes a shift in our vacation since Daddy is making his trip back to NC with Kona while Emmi and I will hang out for another week.

Here she is being all silly with her swim diaper on her head, think it is a sign to Memere that she needs a new hat????

Cape Cod

Here are some pics from the day at the beach. I could not get over how much Emmi loved the water. We didn't expect it so we had gone to a beach that was a little rocky at the shore. Tomorrow we will go to a much better beach.
She also had fun playing in the sand and getting her legs buried.
Alana tried to show her how to build sandcastles so she helped drag water from the shore to make the sand the perfect wet moisture for packing.

Fire Station

Today we headed to the Fire Station after a quick stop at the Farmers Market. It was once again with the Mommies group. Plenty to see and check out. I think the best part for Emmi was sitting in the fire truck. We followed it up with a yummy lunch.

Boo Boo

Emmi had her first major boo boo. After we had gotten done running on Sunday, a neighbor and her 18 y/o daughter were out walking. They asked if Emmi and I wanted to come along. So we walked up to the pool. While Emmi played in the parking lot the 18 y/o was riding her bike. After she was done she started to chase Emmi. When she caught her, Emmi kinda expected her to pick her up but the girl didn't quite have her as she is a high functioning special needs girl so down on her face she went. Emmi has 2 chipped teeth. It timed out Ok since Emmi was due for a cleaning anyways. But my poor baby has chipped teeth :( which does not even seem to phase her.

Safety first. She loves to wear her helmet whenever she goes out in her buggies.
Here is a pic where I tried to capture her teeth.
Here she is at the dentist today.

What's new?

What's new you ask..

Well this week was Emmi's last week of baby camp as she knows it. Laura has been gracious enough to babysit her for the past 16 months but she has decided that she didn't want to continue on. So we have found a new sitter right around the corner, thanks to the Mommies network. Daniela has 2 boys, 1 & 3 who Emmi will get to hang with during the summer. Cant wait for that as next week will be the first week.

We have been to the pool twice, yes I forgot my camera both times, but Emmi isn't overly interested in it. First time I had to hold her the whole time, second time she just wanted to play on the stairs. We may get her arm floaties to see if that helps.

She also is interested in the potty but not ready quite yet. If she has a chance she pulls her diaper off and puts it in the toilet. We also let her run diaperless often before bed. She takes her baby to the potty or she will tell us she has to go so we go through all the motions but no action yet. So maybe by the end of the summer she will be there but who knows.

She is getting so big. She no longer uses her tray from her highchair. It is so awesome to see this across from me while we eat lunch or dinner together.
Cleaning up.

Baseball game

Since Cousin Oliver was pitching in Kannapolis for the Delmarva Shorebirds we just had to go. This kept Emmi up until 10:00pm and not home until just before 11. But she was able to see Oliver pitch and see fireworks. She did wake up at 5am of course but went back to sleep until 8.




Voie and her cousins also came along since they couldn't pass it up either.
