Peanut Butter Picnic

It is still funny to me sometimes to watch Emma

eat "big people food." She now has 10 teeth,

so she doesn't have to have everything cut

up for her. She LOVES peanut butter

sandwiches! I haven't tried jelly yet,

the peanut butter is messy enough by

itself!!! On this particular day

it felt better outside, so we enjoyed a

nice picnic on the front porch.

Play Date

Emma had her first trip to a park this week.

A group of moms from MOPS got together

for a play date. The weather was perfect!

After all of the rain we've been having, it

was nice to get out and play in the sunshine.

Emma LOVED it!!!

She loves to climb the stairs at home, but can only go

if Jason or I help her up. But the play set at

the park had stairs that were just her size so she

could go up and down all by herself.

What a big girl!

October Fun!

This month has been lots of fun! We went to the pumpkin patch,

played with Emma's cousin Austin, and got a special

delivery from Nana and Pawpaw!

And as you can see, we have a sweet baby bumble bee for Halloween!

Buzzzzz.....

Pumpkin fun!

I put out our fall decorations this week.

Emma really liked the pumpkin, but

she thought it was a ball and kept throwing it!

I can't wait to take her to the pumpkin patch!

We'll have to have a talk about not throwing

the pumpkins before we go! Ha ha...

Go Tigers!

Ball Popper and PB

I waited until this past month to give peanut butter to Emma.

I first gave it to her on crackers, but today she

had her first official peanut butter sandwich!

You can tell from her expression that she enjoyed it!

Yay, now that's one more thing I can pack for her lunch!

Last Thursday when I picked Emma up from

Mother's Day Out, she was pushing a ball popper toy

around. She seemed to enjoy it, and later at home

she was pushing kitchen utensils the same way!

On our way home from Baton Rouge last weekend, we

stopped at Wal-Mart to get her one of her own.

As you can see, she LOVES it!

I think I'll look into getting a toy vacuum for Christmas!

Here Kitty Kitty

Emma LOVES to go outside. Today was especially fun because

we meet some new friends. There were about 5 little kittens playing

in our next door neighbors' flower beds. Our fence has a small hole at

the bottom, so two of the playful kittens made their way to our

backyard for some fun. Emma was so cute with them!

She said, "hello kitty kat." and would laugh and laugh

while they ran around playing.

She thought it was funny when they climbed the tree!

I guess I'll be going to buy some cat food to put outside

so our little friends will come back to see us!

More Funny Buisiness

J-E-L-L-O

Emma likes to carry baskets and bags around and say

"bye-bye". I guess she notices that every time we leave

I have a purse and her diaper bag!

"More please!" is Emma's new favorite phrase

Here you can see she has a mouth full already, but

is requesting more Cheerios!

Also, the bow was a joke. I put in a big bow to see what it looked like,

and she just kept wearing it.

Big shoes

Emma has a thing with shoes. She always brings

us our shoes, no matter where they are in the house, she

finds them and brings them (always to the right person)

to us to put on. Sometimes it means she wants to go outside

and ride in her car or go in the back to play, but lately

she has decided to put them on herself!

It is funny to watch her actually try to walk around in the

big bulky shoes, especially Jason's! Mine are usually flip-flops

and she has to try to get her toes in the right place.

Too funny!!!

Sunglasses

Emma has been cracking us up this week wearing these sunglasses.

She got one pair for her birthday from her cousin Callie, but

never really wanted to wear them. Then this week for some reason

she brought them to me and wanted me to put them on her.

She walked around for what seemed like 10 minutes

wearing them! I was afraid she might run into something!

I think dress up clothes are in the near future!
