First Hot Date

Emmi had her first date on Sunday. It was her boyfriends 2nd birthday so she wanted to take him to the bouncy house. So sure enough they didn't have any plans so off we went. They were so cute playing. Here are a few pics we captured.

Griffin was a pro going down the slides by himself so Emmi had to follow suit with a little help from Griffin's Dad.


Here she is the bouncing machine.

Emmi also has now mastered taking her clothes off. She spent pretty much all of yesterday naked. The hope of going with the flow with this one is that it will help get us that much closer to potty training. We will see how today goes after she gets home from preschool.

Dr Visit @ 33 weeks

Had my dr visit this morning at 33 weeks. Emmi had to come with me since Jacob had a meeting and there is no preschool this week. She did awesome listening to hear the baby's heartbeating at 152 beats and while I got weighed which I am up a total of 20 pounds. Not bad considering we had the holidays and freezing temps up North preventing us from staying active. My belly measures 31.5 cms which is right on schedule.

So far so good with a few complaints. My hips have been sore the past day or so. Sleep is something I struggle with. It is just like last time it isnt that I am uncomfortable it is almost as if I dont get into a deep sleep so any noise I hear or maybe it is my mind racing wakes me up. Jacob has helped out greatly and picks up any of my slack . Despite not feeling great yesterday he did a huge amount of the unpacking after I got overwhelmed with all the toys.

Now that the holidays are over we should get the nursery situated. So that will be the main focus in the next few weeks. Painting, finding new homes for stuff, and setting it all up.

2nd Haircut

Emmi got her second haircut today from Godmother Alana aka Nana. She helped spray her hair and also comb it such a good assistant. She sat pretty while Alana went to work. If you look close you can also see Emmi's toenails painted with sparkles as she says. Memere had to paint them the other day since she was touching up her finger nails.

Snow storm

We got a snowstorm on the Cape over night. The morning started with eating snow.

Then we geared up to head out into the deep white. Here is Grandpy Harley snowblowing, you can really see how much snow we got.

Emmi didnt love the snow but did get into after a little bit.

Here is her reaction when she decided to take off her mittens and touch the snow. Kinda cold.

We ended the evening walking around in the center of town while Emmi got pushed in a sled.

Whirlwind

Jacob had to go to Connecticut for business so why not head up North a little earlier than planned....... well that is what we did. We have been hanging out at Memere's. We definitely get spoiled here and despite the earlier sunset and colder temps I think we could get used to this. Here is a pic of Emmi bundled up to play outside and Kona enjoying himself.

While we have been here on 2 different shopping trips Emmi has asked for big girl underwears. Of course she has to wear them although we are working on the success part. She succeeded at Uncle Alan & Aunt Bj's house the other night and a few random times at Memeres but have also had some misses. We are just going with the flow so chalk this up to another step closer to the whole potty training success.
On the baby front I had my appt the day we left. I have only put on one more pound for a total of 17. I am still running as long as it isnt daily and going to yoga. I am suppose to be headed back to the doctors every two weeks going forward but will be stretching that out a little bit due to the holidays. :)

Taryn's Dr. visit, Thanksgiving, and Bacon Explosion

Well, yesterday was Thanksgiving. Taryn's dad came in for the holiday. We had your usually Thanksgiving day festivities. The day after Taryn, Emmi, Grandpa, Kona and myself went to the USNWWC to check out the rapids. It was pretty much empty:

So then Emmi decided to walk Kona. Ever see a 2 year old walk a 100lb lab?

All that walking tired Kona out.

And what a better way to end the day with a little bacon explosion.

As for new baby update. Nothing really new. Taryn said she has put on 16lbs so far. Good thing she got weighed pre-bacon explosion.

Happy 2nd Birthday

The day started with Jacob tearing his left bicep muscle, but he didnt let that stop him. He wrapped ice on his arm, made a doctor appt for during naptime and still was able to have fun with us today. Emmi started at the doctor measuring at 35 1/2 inches tall and 28.4 pounds. She got a good bill of health as usual. Yeah. We then went to the "Bouncy House" place, aka Monkey Joe's. We made the mistake of asking Emmi a few days ago if that is where she wanted to go for her birthday so she had been asking every day since. Since Jacob couldnt really take part he was able to get some good photos while we played. Here she is having a blast:





We ended our morning at Just Fresh for lunch before naptime. Who knows what the rest of the day will bring. Happy Birthday to the best baby ever.
