Order Up!

For some reason (maybe because we eat out too much) Emmy LOVES taking orders. She has been really into drawing for a while, but in the past week or so this has turned into order taking. She will following you around the house saying, "order, order, mommy you order". It's very funny! The other day we were meeting friends for a picnic lunch so we stopped at the local deli to grab some food. I ordered my sandwich and she choose to have a grilled cheese. My sandwich was done first and in the bag and the woman from the back rang the bell and said grilled cheese. The cashier was busy helping another customer so at the top of her lungs Emmy yelled "order ready, order ready" as if the woman didn't hear the bell ring. Apparently Emmy didn't think she was moving fast enough. Everyone had a nice chuckle!

Here is a preview of the order taking...

Friends!

We met some friends the other day for a walk around town and then we sat under a tree for a bit and just enjoyed the warm, sunny weather! Emily loves her friends and is starting to remember people by name and ask for them which is really sweet. She has always loved her baby dolls but now also really loves real babies and always wants them to sit on her lap. I have one friend whose daughter is 7 months old and such a good sport about letting Emmy "hold" her. Emmy loves it so much that she doesn't even mind when Addison tries to pull her hair. Hope she doesn't start crawling anytime soon or Miss Em is not going to be too happy!

Bubble Fun!

We have been taking full advantage of the beautiful weather and getting outside as much as we can. After this winter we couldn't wait! We have been to the park almost every day and if we don't make it we at least play in the driveway with her car and bubbles. Emily is obsessed with bubbles. The other day while at Target I bought a bubble gun and she LOVES it. Andy makes fun of me saying I could not be lazier using this machine, but I told him blowing bubbles can be very tiring! Regardless of laziness or not, she can use the machine herself and she loves every minute of it!

Daddy took a break from working and joined us for some playtime!

Cereal? Yes please!

Every now and then I have an "ah ha" moment and I realize that Emmy is really turning into a little girl and is not a baby anymore. It's usually the little things that do it to me the most, like the other morning when I came into the kitchen and saw her sitting at the table eating cereal like a big girl. It seems like only yesterday we were feeding her at every meal. The time really does fly, but luckily we're having a great time along the way!

Pizza Night!

Last night we made our own pizza, which was SO much fun. We just used the Boboli crust because I was being lazy but I bought Em her own little crust and she was so excited to help Daddy make it.

She thought this was so fun!

She stole a handful of cheese from the bag and shoved it right in her mouth. There was no waiting for the pizza to cook, this girl was hungry!

Very pleased with her creation.

Fancy Pants Dance!

There's a dance in our house called the "Fancy Pants Dance". If you ask what it is, I will point you in the direction of Andy. He named it, created it and encourages it often. Here is a little preview...

Photo Shoot Saturday!
