Sorry for the lack of posting. Emerson and I have been sick the past week so no real energy for preggo updates or cute pictures. I thought I would share some funny things that have happened, if not for the simple fact so it won't be two weeks since my last post. The other night when we were saying our nighttime prayers I try to prompt Emerson with what she is thankful for. The usual is Dadda. That night she said Dadda, and I asked her what else to get her to maybe say I don't know her Mommy??? Haha. But, in honest response she said fish. Goldfish that is. My toddler is thankful for her Daddy and Goldfish. Haha!
Jump forward a couple days while I'm filling my prescription at Target. We are just walking around, wasting time. As we pass the shoe section I stop near the toddler girls. As soon as Emerson sees these shoes she takes off her fake Uggs and throws them in the cart, begging for these sandals. Not quite weather appropriate yet I admire her fashion sense. Although the temper tantrum that ensued was not I had hoped for. :)
Emerson is 22 months old! Only two more months until 2. I can barely believe it! She has been full of personality lately. Talking a lot, saying tons of words, and is always surprisingly us with what she understands. She is silly and loves to make us laugh.
Emerson has been talking about the baby and wanting to rub my belly and give it a kiss. She also wants to tickle my belly and tells the baby to get out. Ha! I tell her he is sleeping. E. also rubs my behind if she sees it and says baby. Apparently anything round contains a baby. :)
She is girly as ever and loves to carry a purse and put on some jewelry. She wants to switch shoes about 10 times a day and always insist on wearing shoes that don't fit. We wore our summer flip flops yesterday and she walked like a duck.
When we say our night time prayers all she wants to pray about is Dada. A Daddy's girl for sure. At the end she will let out a loud AMEN. She still loves to read books, and is enjoying singing songs. Whenever I sing something she will cheer, and clap at the end. My own personal fan. I think lately she must be going through a growth spurt because she is clearing the food out of our house. I can't say snack, or lunch without her running to the fridge and hanging on the handles like a monkey. For breakfast she had two bowls of cheerios, a cup of yogurt, and a cereal bar. Insane!
Our little comedian loves to make silly faces. She will do this shocked look and bust out laughing afterwards. That is what she is doing in all these pictures just in case you were wondering. All I have to say is act surprised Emerson, and she will give me this look. Haha.
I'm trying to jot down the funny things she is doing now before I forget. We've been listening to a lot of pandora through the tv lately so the album covers appear on the screen. One day we were listening and Emerson started yelling Dada. I noticed Bebo Norman on the screen who looked similar to Mark. She insisted it was her Daddy. Now everytime he pops up she yells for Dada. Even getting upset when he is gone! I caught in on video one day so I wanted to share. You can also see that she is a dog whisperer in training. By the way the dog is playing not being scary. Enjoy!
New Year's Eve we decided to take Emerson to Marbles Kid's Museum since Mark was off work. I guess every other parent in Raleigh had the same idea because it was crowded! E. was a little apprehensive at first with the mass of people but she quickly adjusted. Here she is taking a little cruise.
Of course we played with the wildlife.
Then took another drive.
There were so much stuff to do it took awhile to get her over to the play kitchen. Once she did she was a maniac trying to get a shopping cart and baskets. She managed to get two and wanted to pile them in a wheel barrow. Overkill, much?
Then she had to make a phone call.
I'm still not sure who she called.
The splash area was a big hit. There was an aquarium on the other side and she was pretty stoked about the fish.
One of our favorites was the build and destroy room. Mark would build a tower and Emerson would destroy it. Haha! She found it hysterical.
She also loved her own dump truck. Emerson practically stalked the kid playing with it until he got off. It was the perfect height for her to scoot around. After a couple hours of playing we figured we needed to get this kiddo to bed.
She passed out in the car and I was able to transport her crib for a 3 hour nap. Thanks Marbles!
