Big Week

Emily had a big week last week. Grammy came to visit for a few days so she was super busy keeping her entertained. Then we had a long weekend at the lake where she entertained BeBe and swam like a fish. She has suddenly become pretty independent in the pool and likes to swim around with just her water wings. She will now swim from one of us to the other all by herself. She has also been talking up a storm. What a big girl!

I downloaded an Elmo book for my iPod and Emily loves it. Here she is "reading" it again.

She crawled up on the coffee table again. Here she was telling me all about it and counting the coasters.

Toys

I found Emily a tricycle on Craig's list last week. She is obsessed with "cycles" so she seems pretty excited to have one of her own! She is getting better at riding it and is slowly going longer distances forward and backward. She is pretty cute on it!

On her tricycle with her helmet. She picked the helmet out herself at Target. She makes you put it on before she will get on the "cycle".

Going out for a jet ski ride with Daddy this weekend. She loves the jet ski!!

Check Up

Emily had her 2 year check up today and hated every minute of it. She weighed in at 27.5 lbs (56th percentile) and we couldn't get an accurate height measurement so the doctor told me to try at home tonight and they would give us the percentile if we called in. She had to get two shots but now she is done until she's five except for flu shots. She was even more unhappy with the shots and has told me over and over again that she is sad and they hurt. She is doing great though and the doctor said usually by three they are better about check ups. Let's hope so!

We babysat our friend's daughter Audrey who is 6 months old so her Mommy could go to dinner for her birthday. Anyway, we got Emily's Bumbo seat out for Audrey and Emily loved it.

Riding the jet ski with Daddy. As soon as she saw the jet ski in the water, Emily started yelling "I Ride! I Ride!". I think Daddy will be spending a lot of time on the jet ski this summer!

Swimming with all of her floatation devices.

Little Gym Show Day

Today was the last day of the semester at Little Gym. They do an awards program to reward the kids for all of their hard work during the semester. Daddy went with us and took pictures and watch the awards presentation. Emily took this opportunity to do a forward roll by herself for the first time. What a big girl!

Don't worry, we are signed up for the summer semester so Emily will be back at gym next week playing with her friends!

Taking a little break from playing hard

Receiving her medal

An attempt at a class picture. Needless to say, it is impossible to get ten two year olds to sit still and look at the camera for pictures so this is what we got. It is still pretty cute!
