We have been cramming in activity after activity that it is almost exhausting! Although- we did stay in our PJ's the other day until almost 3pm....but that is a rare exception- we were spending a lazy morning watching Mama Mia- what 18 month old doesn't love Mama Mia??
Our mini road trips are about done- we visited Gainesville & Orlando, and I think we have one more small trip down to Miami. Little Emma has become quite the traveler!
She loves loves loves playing outside. Especially since she has discovered sidewalk chalk. I like my theory of preferring she colors on the back patio instead of the front yard driveway... because if she falls in the pool I can just scoop her out.... but if she runs in the road- well... not so easy.
She wasn't very happy when I brought her inside. But-while playing outside with the bubbles, one accidentally popped in her eye and she was not happy about that, so I tried to rinse it with water....even MORE not happy about that.
Here she is planning her escape..........
...unfortunately she underestimated the size of her head when trying to escape through the doggie door.
Lucky us! We were able to squeeze in another visit with Catherine & Audrey while they were here visiting. Auntie Carrie came too- and Emma is in love.
Dancing with Carrie....
We celebrated Hanukah on one night all together when everyone was in town at the same time. This was such a fun night, and mom & dad prepared a delicious feast. I didn't get many pictures...but I DID get a snuggie blankie! woohoo!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to cozying up on the couch back home with my new blanket with sleeves!
Although it baffles me as her mother.... and is hard to admit.... but I do think my daughter much prefers her Aunt Stephanie over me!!!!!! She asks for her quite often, and when Steph walks in the room Emma begs to be held by her, no matter who is holding her/playing with her at the time!!!! This has been the case since she was a month old!!!!!
Visiting Grandma for Christmas. We were able to enjoy an extra day in Orlando this year and Emma got a lot of playing time with Grandma and her cousins. She spent several hours.. yes.. HOURS... in the playground with everyone and was then exhausted for the rest of the day.
She was showered with tons of stuffed animals... so many in fact that she thought their mini poodle was actually a stuffed animal and was trying to pick him up to play, so cute!
We enjoyed a nice lunch together after the playground and then opened presents the next morning.
Emma posing for the camera at dinner... I think she looks like a 'tough girl' in this picture, but my poor baby was just too exhausted to smile!
I didn't get very many pictures of Emma & Audrey playing together while we were visiting Gainesville.... they had a ton of fun together. Audrey remembered Emma from their last visit, but I think Emma is still too young to really remember. When we arrived Emma was too busy exploring all of Audrey's toys instead of playing WITH Audrey... but she eventually warmed up!
The two girls played and giggled together and it is just so sweet to watch.
We brought them to a gymnastics playcenter- Emma LOVED the trampoline, and spent most of her time jumping on the trampoline or playing in the foam pit. Here she is rolling around in the pit- it was extremely difficult for her to maneuver around in there.
Peek-A-Boo! ....trying to climb out of the pit. (if you ignore the stuffy nose, I think this is the cutest picture ever!)
