TimTam Love

Thank you Uncle Duncan and Aunt Melanie (in Australia) for the beloved TimTams. American's just don't know what a treat they are missing out on.





I can't quite remember why she ended up pointing to her eye...but the chocolate was a wonderful treat :0).






Emmy pointed to the camera and actually got chocolate on my lens...I was explaining to her that we should be careful because chocolate on the camera was yucky. She came in close for an inspection.





SAY CHEESE!! (Which she really was saying at the time...)

2-two-dos-deux

She's two.

Today.

We had our party in early May since that was when both sides of the family were in town.

It was a lot of fun. Oma and Opa (and family) gifted her fun clothes and one of those talking Little Miss Sunshine's. Along with that came Little Miss Chatterbox (very appropriate for this little girl, I will say).

My mom/dad and brother gifted her a small play kitchen. Cam and I got her kitchen pots and pans and utensils. My mom is an exceptional sewer and made felt food for the kitchen.....pizza, cookies, "no-nees" (mac 'n cheese), strawberries, fried eggs and pancakes.

Look how great all these things turned out:


I am happy Emmy is older....I have more fun with older kids because they are communicative. And communicative she is!

She's putting together 3-4 word sentences. She repeats pretty much anything we challenge her with (including Spanish). She has most of her favorite books memorized. Really, she just doesn't stop talking.

Kind of like her momma. :)

She loves to sing too....but that may be back along with the communicative/verbal. And that comes from her daddy.

She loves to run.

She loves to wash her hands.

Loves her markers rather than crayons. And loves "tracing" her hands (I didn't mind so much with the crayons, but those markers are only so washable...).

She is quiet in church in that she whispers. But you can't get her to sit still if your life depended on it. Tried everything, she CANNOT/WILL NOT sit still.

She loves Pincey (Quincy the Pug). She likes to sit on the couch with him and have her hand on his back during "movie time."

She loves her daddy. Every morning her first word, "daddy?" And I always have to say, "he's at work already, sweetie." Then we move onto other things....usually milk or juice related.

But...*sigh*

...my first baby has grown up quite a bit. I look at her and only see how much she has grown and changed. Just look:

(I borrowed these from the maternity shoot...but I bet her photos will be up soon on www.kimberlywilliamsphotography.com)



She sure isn't a baby anymore.

Good thing there is another one due to arrive soon... :) But that really isn't why we got pregnant....promise!

What a week...

You may (or may not) have noticed I haven't posted in a bit.

That break was due to Cameron being out of town for a week (work related), while his wife was creeping up on 34 weeks preggo. He was gone Sun-Sat.

We should have planned the whole family going. Orlando, FL. Would have been a much needed break for me. But me, flying at 33 weeks? Not really on my list of things to do.

His week went well. Met up with people he hadn't seen in a while, old friends, that kind of thing.

Emalyn and me, on the other hand!??! How did we do? How kind of you to ask....

All week she and I both had a stomach/intestinal bug. Which led to a ridiculous diaper rash for Little Miss (in which she fights the diaper changer like a champ...she is STRONG. Even doctors/nurses say so.)

Thursday, I went to pick her up from school and see her eyes-both of them-are pink. And she itches them all evening long. She had pink eye about a month ago, so I already had the drops, thankfully.

Thursday night, Emmy commences to poop her diaper EVERY TWO HOURS UNTIL MIDNIGHT. Midnight. At which time, I decide to pull her in bed with me and we both finally fall asleep for the rest of the night. THANK HEAVENS!

So, off we went to the doctor Friday morning, because it just isn't right to be pooping that much.

The final verdict:
Double ear infection, (which for Emmy leads to...)
Pink eye in both eyes (while still getting over the)
stomach flu.

Glorious.

I can be grateful we weren't throwing up at least.

And so my reward? Cam surprised me with this:





What a sweet husband I have.

Maternity Photos

This doesn't have much to do with Emmy, other than she is going to be a big sister....but here are some of the shots that were taken on Friday4/23. I was 7 1/2 mos. Lovin' how they turned out!
