Emma Update

2008 January 26

So I haven't posted pictures of Emma here in a long time and I know that is the only reason some of you stop by here… so I thought I would give a quick update. Emma turned three this past week and is most assuredly a full fledged toddler. She loves exploring the world, asking "why" incessantly, and demanding that we read her books (also incessantly). She is very full of energy and like all three year olds is attempting to learn how to "use words" to express her emotions. She is still very excited about the new baby and is still insisting that mommy is having a girl baby (but apparently as she informed us, Daddy is having a boy baby because he has a tummy too – Mike loved hearing that). The picture on the left conveys a very typical Emma – climbing on the furniture and screaming just because she can. I think she is trying to deal with this ever long winter and very little outside playtime. Her favorite phrase of the moment is "I'm the craziest thing." I'm not sure where she picked up that phrase, but it suits her these days.

She looks a bit more demure in her birthday party pictures below with her pigtails, jumper, and yes, birthday tiara. She was very specific on what she wanted for her birthday this year – Dora hats, pizza, cake, and dancing. All which are documented below. Enjoy
