A Playdate and New Toy

Chowing Down

Yesterday I watched our 6 month old neighbor, Baby B. I have to admit at first I was a little apprehensive to have 2 babies in my care but it went really well. The "kids" had fun and the dog was very entertained by a new visitor.

I think Emerson is a little young to be leaning on a boy's shoulder!

Having him over made me realize how very petite our gal is. I mean seriously look at the size difference. He is only a month older. Notice the classic E. look. "Why are you here again?" Emerson did cry a bit when he screamed and I told her she does the same thing. :) But, of course sometimes she is sensitive. After our fun half day of playing we had the dreaded vaccination visit. It was not fun, I hated ever minute, and it was worse than last time. The whole time I was thinking they can create vaccinations that prevent life threatening illnesses but they can't figure out how to make them less painful? I mean seriously. That's of course coming from a Mommy point of view. The only good thing about the trip was being able to head out to Trader Joes. I stocked up on some goodies and to my delight the chicken lime burgers are back. They are delicious! If you haven't had them before I highly recommend stopping by to get some because I haven't seen the burgers in the store in almost a year. Perfect for summer!

Too Close?

Here is Emerson's new toy which Mark found at the consignment sale. I have to give him credit because she really loves the music. She even uses it as a chew toy since the corners are somewhat rubbery. Usually she rejects teething toys and goes for my finger. You can imagine that can get painful! Here are a few more of her enjoying the "music box."

Yummm...Plastic!
