. you like to put your hand palm side down on our cheeks...so sweet
.you almost have it down, but still working on sitting up
.you tried your first bottle(it had breast milk I pumped)...March 19th...you sucked it down
.you also had your first out of town trip and overnight stay in a hotel. you did great!
.you still want to wake up sometimes at night to eat a little
.you have fun picking things up and moving your hand/wrist around exploring it
.you wear size 2 diapers
.you wear size 6-9 months clothes and size 2 or 3 shoe
. while on your stomach you will push up on your tip-e-toes and try to scoot. thing is is that you need to raise your face and arms off the ground first.HA!
.whenever you are in your car seat and are waiting for us to take you out you start hitting the buckle with your hand
.you drive mama crazy sometimes reaching for everything you can
.mama has been trying to get you on a nap schedule with bubba, and for the past week it has been working.
.you almost always hike up a leg while I'm feeding you and it cracks me up
.you enjoy your stacking cups and you love to hit them on the table. you love the noise
.you're a mama's girl for sure...maybe it's due to the fact that I have the food...HAHAHA!
.I've heard you on a couple occasions trying to put letters/sounds together like (ah-goo)
You're such a big girl Em! WE LOVE YOU!


::Thursday after a visit with the Easter Bunny we came home and ate a bit of lunch and went down for naps. When naps were over we played outside for a while.

{I got a little smile}

{oh the life...}

{we put toys in a basket and she loves getting them out. then we put them in again and she's like...oh wow where did these come from...new toys. then she gets them all out again}

{here she's yelling at me. I guess she was tired of all the photos}

{she's looking a little POed in this photo}
I got several photos of Em, but Hunt wouldn't be still and let me get more of him. To busy playing! And I love Em's urban bonnet. I got her two different ones for the summer.
I found some cute Easter pasta so for dinner Hunt and I had that.

Hunt managed to scratch himself with a stick so I snapped a pic of the injury. If you look real hard you can see it(ha,ha...Hunt runs over to me and says "mama I HAVE to go inside and look in the mirror! So I say why? Hunt says LOOK!}It looks a little worse now, scabbed over.

{sadly this is the only photo of Hunt}

::Friday Hunt didn't have school and hubs was off from work, but we still just hung around the house. Later that evening Hunt, Little Miss(strictly supervised) and I dyed eggs. It was fun and Hunt is getting old enough that he can almost do it all by himself. Here are some photos of the fun...

{crayon coloring}

{awww, he wrote sister's name}

{lil sis...hanging out}



{coloring complete, time to dye}

{pants optional}




{nice job Bubba}

{aren't they beautiful}

::Saturday Em and I took at trip to Canton. We picked up a few things...

I bought Em 2 smocked dresses(love love love smocked dresses). The green one with turtles she wore for Easter with the matching bow and the yellow one will be for next Easter since it has bunnies and was $40% off(YAY!). Hand smocked dresses aren't cheap! I also bought her these monogrammed "E" bloomers(she also wore those on Easter, a perfect match), 2 bug houses for future gifts and vintage linens...table cloth, 2 child quilts, some hankies, a quilted pillow case and a embroidered 2 pocked possibly clothes pin holder(not sure).
OH I LOVE CANTON!!!!!
Hunt and daddy drove out to Gander Mountain to check out there outdoor goodies. We later meet them for some dinner at Pasados.

::Sunday the babes woke up to baskets filled with treats from the Easter Bunny!

Hunt of course knew what was going on, but not Em. She just wanted to dig in the baskets and taste test everything.
I took several trying for a really great photo, but it just wasn't in the cards. A few are good, but not great. Photos and kids...need I say more?!!!




{I bought this basket, decided it needed more color and added some pink and green rick-rack}



Some of the things Mr.Easter Bunny put in the baskets were...bubbles, books, candies, mini lego sets, golden money eggs(Hunt got $5 and Em $1), funny glasses, caterpillar flashlights, finger puppets, drink holders with straws, pirate gun, colored pencils, slinky, crayons, sail boat, 2 shrinky dink sets, 2 mini scrap books and a few others. Then he left them cute grass baskets with stuffed bunnies inside. Wow what a haul!

Around 10:15 we left to go to Grandma's and Papa's house. We had a great time there!
We played, hunted Easter eggs inside and outside! Then we feasted on some yummy steaks, burgers, hot dogs, sausage, salad, twice baked potatos, egg salad and pies! Man were we stuffed after all that! Good stuff though!!!
Here are some of the photos I took from the day...
