Warm Weather Finally

Well, the weather has finally warmed up. It has been beautiful the last few days so we've been able to get out and play a lot. There has been lots of bubble blowing, playing with rocks and roaming around.

Emily got her bangs trimmed last week. She has sooo much hair! She was very good and pretty much mesmorized by the Elmo video they put in for her. I think they could have done most anything to her as long as they didn't block the TV!

After her hair cut... super cute!

Giving Mommy an earful!

Fun Weekend

Despite the crappy weather, we had a fun weekend. We went to the Butterfly House and for a ride on the carousel in Faust Park on Sunday. The Butterfly House had a bunch of beautiful blue butterflies hatch in March so it was especially neat. Emily loved all of the butterflies! She wasn't sure about the carousel at first but once it got moving she thought it was lots of fun.

Our Big Girl

We have been taking full advantage of the warmer weather (it was 70 yesterday!) and playing outside a lot. Emily's big achievement for the week is counting to five when we hold up our fingers one at a time. She is getting pretty good at it too but still messes up sometimes and calls every finger two. She is so smart if I do say so myself!

Last day of swim lessons. All of the kids from the different swim groups were playing under a fountain in the pool and Emily thought it was way cool.

Daddy and I turned around for a minute and the next thing we knew, Emily was sitting in one of our chairs. She then kicked us both out of the chairs so she could climb up in both of them.

Getting Outside

The weather finally warmed up over the weekend so we were able to get out and play. We all enjoyed getting outside in the fresh air.

Emily was so excited about her cozy coupe, she jumped in before we had a chance to put it together.

Not much is new around here but there are some recent pictures to share anyway:

Getting comfortable while watching Sesame Street

Playing with our friends' daughter Audrey. Emily was very sweet and gentle with her. It was very cute: Emily let Audrey pet her face, tried to hold her and give her blocks to play with. Very sweet!
