Emma had a playdate with her friend Lillian from daycare. The two are growing up together having been together since before they were 1. They play and fight like sisters. No playdate is complete without first putting on tutus before going outside to play!
Our little Ariel red for trick or treating...flashlight and all..safety first:-)
Look at all our loot from Grandma and Grandpa!
Mommy's little monkey!
Jack's first leaf pile. He was enthralled and tolerated it very well. Emma, of course, had a blast!
"No Jack, don't eat the hay."
Emma was not in a smiling mood that day;-(
Jack got his first haircut this weekend. He was a little unsure at first but then just plain squirmy. He wanted to look all around at everything going on. Thanks Auntie Paula!
Look at a me I'm 1 today! The birthday festivities started on friday evening. I had a wonderful steak and potatoe dinner, my fav. After dinner Daddy brought out a big "red" cupcake. Emma choose the red one for me. No one is quite sure why.
It was delicious. I never hesitated once. I just dug right in..all the way up my elbows. After cupcakes it was straight to the bath for me. After bath..present time!
I got my big boy chair...look at me sooo big!! I climb right on up by myself!
Then my wonderful big sister helped me open the wrapped presents. I got to play with the paper after and maybe the toy if I was lucky.
Saturday was party day. It was very warm outside and we all played in the backyard. My newest trick is climbing all the way up the slide. A little scarey for mommy to watch.
Then more cake! This is great!
I couldn't even wait to get outside.
I impressed everyone with my fork skills. Hey if there was frosting on the fork every time of course I would use it and not throw it on the floor.
It was a great birthday weekend surrounded by family and friends. Thank you everyone.
We had a goregous day at the Public Garden. (okay, so it was a month ago from the post date!)
Mommy and Jack enjoying a smile together. (some funny business behind the camera:-))
Not our boat, but one we went by.
"The ducky family...like in the book", Emma said.
And finally we get to the duckling statues. Emma had to sit on every single one!
And finally Mama duck!
Emma was a sleep before we even left the garden and slept the whole, very loud, "T" ride home...tired baby:-(
Yeah, now down to only 1 in diapers!
Emma went to see her Auntie Paula for a haircut this weekend with Daddy. She is getting braver and braver evey time she goes. This time she worn the "cape" and let Auntie Paula blow dry her. She sat so nicely Auntie did the whole thing...straight! Mommy hardley recongnized her little girl when they came home! Emma thought it was so much fun! Uh Oh...what to come...
