Finger Painting...really?

Okay so it was pudding and food coloring but she had a blast! And it tasted good too;-)

"Look mom, yellow and blue make green!"
Aaaahhh...such an art teacher's daughter;-)

Emma walking with a little help.

Here's the video of Em taking her first steps without someone holding the walker to help her. Now there is no stopping her. It's all she wants to do. Mom's not quite ready for this big milestone to happen:-( But it's still exciting.

Bella' 1st Birthday Party

Georgia and Emma went to Bella's 1st Birthday party this weekend.

There were lots of toys to play with...

Books to read...even in our party hats!

And walking to do...Emma took her first steps alone with the walker. Very exciting milestone!

Look at me go...watch out here I come!!! (We took video and are working on getting it up)

1st Halloween

This was Emma's 1st Halloween. She was a Tulip Pixie. We have lots of fun visiting family and her friend Georgia even came over to play. Cute little pumpkin! She even had an animal cracker and tiny tiny piece of chocolate!

Getting ready at Grandma and Grandpa's...

Visiting Auntie Paula...

Hey Georgia...this is the best night ever!

ooohhhh...what's this?

How do I get this chocolate out?

Pumpkin Picking

This was Emma's first time in a pumpkin patch. She loves pumpkins and was all smiles the whole time.

Of course there was a place to pose for pictures....Daddy couldn't resist;-)

hhhmmm....which one???

"Hey guys...these are almost as big as me...they certainly weight more!"

Fall fun at the playground

It was a beautiful fall afternoon for a meeting at the playground. Emma and her friend Noah rode on the cars, swung on the swings and had their first time on the slide.

"Hey Mom, these cars rock. Can we get one?"

"Hey Emma, want to go for a ride"

"Wow, this looks pretty high."

"Hey everyone, look at me!"

Raiding the Fridge

At such a young age Emma is already raiding the fridge! Not to mention getting into everything...
