Emmie's World

Emmie's world is expanding rapidly.  A few pictures to demonstrate.

I love what a good sport Emmie is at being hauled around.  Storytime, the grocery store, errands...she is a happy, good little sport even if it's during what should be naptime.  Sometimes after I haul her back into the house I set her car seat down and need to tend to something, like food that needs to be put in the freezer or a ringing phone, before unbuckling her.  She's such a good sport.  One day she was sitting in her car seat amidst the bustle and I caught her ever so patiently holding up the car seat blanket that was covering her face.  She wanted to make sure she didn't miss anything but she didn't cry - just held it up out of the way.  She is the sweetest little thing!

 This little lady loves everything electronic (phones, remote controls - yikes, she even loves to watch TV!) almost as much as she loves her daddy.

Drew. Loves. Emmie.

 Daddy was the first to observe Emmie's unusually long tongue. 

 You can see it in her face - she has pinpointed her next destination.

Very, very rarely will she snuggle with her Momma - she's a Daddy's girl all the way.

No pictures for this one, but Emmie is another little book-lover.  For several weeks we have been looking at some books before bedtimes.  Fat Mouse is a favorite.  The other day she was in particular need of a nap and I was in a hurry.  There were a few books sitting out in her room and I saw her eyeing them, so I turned around and tried to keep them out of her line of sight.  She kept trying to look around me to see those books.  The message was clear:  I want to read!  I sat down with her, picked up the beloved Fat Mouse book, and she was so excited that she started bouncing up and down on my lap.
