Poopy on the Potty

Last night we had the first time pukey kid in the car. Besides the baby spit up stuff Emmi had never threw up. Of course it happened just minutes before we pulled in to where we were going. We cleaned her up, good thing for spare outfits, and she seemed fine. When we came home she got a bath in the sink. She had naked time and all of a sudden during dinner she said, "Ought Oh" and ran into the living room.

Jacob checked on her and sure enough she went poopy on the potty. Whoo hoo. We have plenty of naked time since we have the little girl that refuses to wear diapers or will take of her diaper at times. Since we have the hardwoods I figured what the heck and put her potty in the middle of the living room where it has been for a few months now. This has been the only time we had complete success.

Here is a pic from last week:

Par-Tay Time

To celebrate Cousin Benjamin's 5th birthday his parents rented him a bouncy house/water slide for his party. Before the party the cousins were able to test it out. Emmi had a blast. We started by lifting her up over the side, her sliding on her bum, and letting her go. By the end she would try to climb up the normal way but then just go down by herself on her belly. No fear. Here are some pics from the day of her just having a blast.


Resting up after all that sliding.

Lazy 5 Ranch again. :)

Not sure who likes to go more, Emmi or I...... Since Memere is in town for Ben-jamin's birthday we figured it was the perfect excuse to have to go again. This time we took the wagon, although I think taking your own car is better, it was still fun to check out all the animals. Check out the pics from the day.

This is how close the animals are to the wagon.

Time for another blog?

Taryn and I created this blog in 2007 to celebrate Emmi. Over the past two years we've shared everything from Taryn's pregnancy, to Emmi's birth, to not only how she's grown, but how we've grown as a family. Well, in February of 2010, our family is going to grow a little more. Emmi's little brother/sister will be arriving. I asked Emmi if she would mind if she shared the blog with her little brother/sister and she said she was fine with it. So now it begins. Boy or girl (I say girl)? Names?
Move Emmi out of her room? Will he/she sleep as well as Emmi? So many questions.We're excited. I'm thinking we should start training Emmi on how to change diapers.

So stay tuned for updates as we prepare for baby burns numero 2.

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.
