Sicky Sicky.

She's got the flu.

We've actually gotten through the worst and now she seems better.

She is walking around....the fever is gone....and no more puke!

FOUR times vomit on her mommy. Yes, people...and that fourth one?!!? Straight down the front of my shirt. (This was last night.)

The fifth time my husband actually got it. And it was milk. I think that smells the worst...(This occurred this morning when we thought she was getting better. I didn't want to try the milk yet, but he did...serves him right :)!!)
And my kid positively does not like Pedialyte. She's been guzzling the water though, so dehydration wasn't too much of a concern. But, oh, we've been watching her like a hawk!

Still deciding if she will be well enough for daycare tomorrow. We'll see!

Catch up.


A co worker brought in tomatoes and green beans to share and Emmy tried the beans raw....she held onto it more than she actually ate it as the photo shows! :) (9-4)

The photo doesn't capture it, but that pumpkin was huge! This was at the zoo in the farm animal exhibits. They grow corn and misc. veggies at that exhibit. I know it seems like we always go to the zoo, but she loves it there! (9-6)

This was on the way out in the morning to daycare (9-8). She is finally starting to actually "pose" and smile when you tell her to. She used to when she was younger, but now that she can move and discover, she'd rather be doing that than make a nice photo...

Have a good weekend!

Taking a Walk

Tonight Emmy and I went for a short relaxing walk after dinner. Emalyn kept trying to locate a noisy crow that was cawing overhead. Every time that thing made a peep, she'd get startled and jump then point and stare intently to try to find the thing. Like I said before, she wants to give it kisses (anything animal related, she wasn'ts to give it kisses). Personally, I'd rather kiss it with a bb gun!! :)

One of my favorite toddler items are these Crocs. You may be able to convince me that they are ugly for adults, however, look at these freaking adorable things....love!

As always, we are on the MOVE! ALL THE TIME! I laughed so hard when I saw this...milk gut, I like to say.



Two nights ago we went to the park to eat supper and walk near a small lake and play on the swing set. This shot is dark, but I liked it. Again, she was NOT wanting to sit down and eat. So since Cameron and I are desperate to keep her full to sleep a full night (which she isn't beuase she is getting another molar...) we followed her around spooning and stuffing veggies and bread in her mouth.

She saw the zucchini bread Cam made earlier this week....about the only thing she was really wanting that night!

Emmy in Wonderland


This group of photos made me smile when I saw them.

She just looks so tiny and faaaaaaaaaar away.

Getting ready to sit....

Aaaaahhhhh. Nice.

Helping Daddy

While my mom was taking are of Emalyn, she found that Emmy LOVES to be a helper.
Finally, I was able to catch her on video, assisting daddy with the laundry. It actually is hilarious as the second she sees us go in to the laundry room with clothes to be washed, she is right there behind you trying to pick up a load of clothes on her own.

I love this age, when they mimic you as best they can. It comes out so sweet.

Waterbabies


We've started to take swim lessons at a community pool on Saturday mornings. Cameron was a swimmer in high school and I've always enjoyed time in the pool, so we want Emalyn to be very un-afraid of the water.

She's already willing to "jump" in the water as long as we're there to catch her, and we sing lots of songs that include blowing bubbles and teach kicking and reaching/pulling with her arms. She still is working on going under water as she's never liked water in her face, but we can tell slowly, she is minding it less and less.

We have a lot of fun....that's all I could ask for!

Picnic

Tonight we had a really nice time at an all church picnic. A member of the congregation owns a farm with lots of land to run and play....and work, I'm sure!

Emmy walked and wandered and checked out every corner of the place....as you can see she was movin'.

Here we were approaching the cows. And suddenly, we stopped.

As you can see, she wasn't so sure about those cows. And when they started to bellow, well, she was even less sure. We got up close, but not enough for her to feel comfortable to touch them...in due time, I'm sure since she is such an animal lover.

Thankfully, there were some chickens that she didn't mind walking right up to. More her size, I guess!

We really did have a beautiful evening. I think Emalyn would agree the hayride was the best part! Well, she was pretty excited to hang out with her friends Carly and Clara! (This is Clara, she's 4 months younger than Emalyn.)

Here is Emmy after church this morning. One of her favorite things to do it pick up the rocks from the rock bed and throw them, of course. We're working on keeping the rocks with their other rock friends.

Off to another week! Enjoy!

She's a Lover


Saturday we visited Oma and Opa to catch up on birthdays we missed over the summer. During our time, Emalyn showed off her kissing skills and tried to smooch the cat, Mac....repeatedly.

She tends to try to kiss, or hug, any animal within reach. And if they are out of reach, you will repeatedly hear, "mmmmuah, mmmmmmmmuah!"

People walking their pets get a real kick out of it. She's so funny... :)

Friends

This is a couple we know from church. I have posted their photo on here before as they are dear friends. We decided to go to the zoo with them and had a really wonderful time! We were in the butterfly exhibit when these shots were taken. The butterfly's are definitely my favorite part of the zoo...too bad I can only enjoy them in the summer!
