Mommy's Little Helper

Emma enjoys being my little helper.

She is good at helping me unload the silverware 

from the dishwasher

and being a taste tester!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On June 1st we took Emma to her first baseball game.

We went to see our local baseball team; 

the Shreveport Bossier Captains.

The weather was perfect. Emma enjoyed 

walking up and down the stairs,

wearing her mommy out of course!

It was a fun time. Emma wasn't sure what to think about the mascot.

I have to admit, he did look a little shady!

Water Baby

With the temperatures getting into the 90's this weekend,

we thought it would be a good time to get out 

Emma's water mat and swimming pool.

She wasn't sure what to think about it.

She liked the water mat, until it sprayed her in the face!

She didn't like the cold water in the pool. Next

time we'll give it more time to warm up!

The main thing of course was that she was

 super cute in her swim suit and sun hat!

I can't wait for us to take our swim class at the Y in a few weeks!

Watch me go!

Emma started standing on her own last week.

Then Friday she took her first steps by herself.

This video was taken a few days later.

As you can see, she's going to be a little

speed walker! It won't be long

and we'll be running after her!

Big girl!

We still can't believe how fast Emma is growing!

Her hair is getting longer, thicker, and lighter.

She wears a bow almost everyday!

She enjoys feeding herself with a spoon,

so needless to say, mealtime can get very messy!

She can also stand by herself and has even taken a few steps!

We are working on getting a good video of her "walking."

Unfortunately  we weren't prepared the first time it happened;

we were getting her ready for bed. She was standing 

holding onto her crib, wearing only a diaper, and she just let go and

took three steps towards me! 

What a big girl! 

 

Go bye bye

Emma's favorite thing to do is go "bye bye".

She crawls to the front door, stands up, and says

"bye, bye" (her most frequently used word) 

while reaching for the door handle.

Then she gets the key to the door

and attempts to put on her hat!

She's ready to go!

"Bye, bye!"

Sunglasses

Emma had fun playing with her KK's sunglasses.

She always likes to grab glasses or sunglasses

when she sees someone wearing them.

Emma got her very own sunglasses for her birthday.

Too cool!

She only wore them long enough to take the picture!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Pretty as a flower

Emma got this adorable little outfit from her

Aunt Lacey and I have been waiting for the perfect day

to take some pictures. Our back yard was

nice and green after a big rain, so we went

out. I was so pleased with the results!

I took about 80 pictures! 

Emma did great posing;

she was very interested in the flowers!

Dining Adventures

Meal time is always entertaining.

Emma eats with her fingers more, which can

make for some pretty messy dinners!

Sometimes I have help cleaning up the food

she drops from our four legged family member Tigger!
