Turtle

Emeri emptied all of our blankets out of our basket in our living room and used the basket as a turtle shell! 

Pretty clever don't you think?

It's so fun to see this girls imagination develop and grow! 

Worn Out

Sometimes we just wear this girl right out! : ) 

CRASHED in the car! 

Mermaid

Enjoying some fresh air! 

  

I turned around Emeri was sitting on "her rock", with perfect posture, the wind blowing in her hair, looking off in the distance!

 It was like she was waiting for someone to take her picture! : ) hahaha!

I showed Braeden this picture and he said it looks like she's a mermaid! : ) 

Proof

Look how adorable this picture is!

So cute! 

It's a good thing we have proof that they like each other because it's questionable sometimes! : ) 

As much as they love to play together they also love to drive each other crazy! : ) 
Typical toddlers! 

Thanks for the super cute picture Annie! : ) 

Shaving

Emeri has watched me shave my legs one too many times!

Now every time she is in the bath she has to make sure and "shave" hers too! : ) 

It amazes me how much these kiddos pickup on! 

Love this nakey bum! 

This picture is super blurry, but I love the little smirk on her face! : ) 

Floating in the tub! 

Look at those tan lines on her legs! 

It's scary that Emeri is always watching and learning from me and everyone around her! 

It's scary to think that kids grow up and have to learn lessons on their own because no matter how many times you tell them not to do somethings they just have to learn for themselves sometimes!

It's scary because I had to learn several lessons the hard way even though my parents taught me not to do certain things! 

(I know my parents are smiling, shaking their heads, and rolling their eyes as they read this!)

It's a good thing I have several years until my kiddos are teenagers because I still have a lot to learn as a parent until I can deal with a teenager and especially a teenager like me! 

At the same time I'm sure nothing can prepare you for the teenage years! : ) 

ahhh...

That was kind of way off subject, but when you see your kiddos mimicking everything you do it makes you stop and think!  

Messy Girl

Finger Painting is always a blast!

Emeri loves it and always makes a huge mess... everywhere!

She gets paint all over her, me, the kitchen, and of course her highchair! 

 Here are the pictures from our latest finger painting adventure! 

Look at how incredibly messy this girl can get! 

(Denver, she's saying party in the bottom left picture!) 

By this point she gave up on painting on paper and wanted to make her tray into a master piece instead! 

The finished product! Too bad we couldn't save it! 

All clean!  

She loves doing this kind of stuff!

 Who wouldn't love having permission to make a huge mess? 

: ) 

...

Side note:

We have our 35 week appointment today!

I'm so excited to see our little man this morning! 

Monkey

Emeri is becoming a little monkey! 

She loves to climb and swing on everything! 

: ) 

Emeri ready to get up from her nap! 

If she really tried to get out of her crib she could, but she waits for us to come get her instead!

Thank goodness!

Are you as impressed as I am with this stretch? 

There is no way I could do that! 

Prego or not! : ) 

Swinging on the kitchen counters! Who knew you could even do this? 

Swinging on the playground! 

She saw another little girl do this a week or so ago and has been trying to get up enough courage to do it herself since! 

When she finally built up enough courage and picked up her feet to swing she was so proud of herself! 

The look no her face was priceless! 

Now when we go to the playground this is all she wants to do and she must have everyone's attention while she does it! : ) 

Love this monkey! 

I can't wait for my other little monkey to get here!
