Emma Grace and the Doggie Door

Emma Grace loves to look out the doggie door. Luckily (knock on wood) she has not started heading out of it yet. She has however figured out how to unroll the toilet paper in the bathroom and she thinks that is the funniest thing on earth. I can remember Taylor doing that when he was a baby, and he two thought it was great.

(Yes, I have Emma Grace dressed in brothers old PJ’s! Gotta save where I can!)

The Petting Zoo

Taylor School had a petting zoo come this year and the kids had great fun. Taylor loved riding the pony rides with his friend Jillian. We are both going to miss when he no longer goes to Wee Friends come August.

Taylor Funny

On Saturday morning I walked into the den to find Taylor watching The Little Einstein’s. His only comment for me was “This is the bossiest cartoon I have ever seen, and I am sick of watching it, I can’t believe this cartoon is so bossy mom.”

Little Einstein’s is a very interactive cartoon, and I guess Taylor just got tired of them asking him questions and telling him to clap his hands together. Taylor I thought is was so clever that you would suggest that it was a “bossy cartoon.”

Emma’s First Real Food

On Friday night Emma tried real people (and not baby food) spaghetti for the first time. She loved it, and ever since has not been able to get enough “Grown Up” food.

She is also getting really good at hand eye coordination. She loves to put the balls in the caterpillar’s mouth. She also is great at playing the xylophone in the bathtub.

Happy 10 Months Emma

Emma today you are 10 months old. You are just growing up so very fast. You are quite independent. You love to crawl everywhere your brother is, and you love any pair of shoes you can get your hands on! You love live and are a pleasure to care for. Your daddy and I love you and don’t know what we did without you 10 months ago.

Here are some pictures of you now at 10 months vs. your preemie outfit that you wore as a new born. My how you have grown.

Week in Pictures

This has been such a wonderful weekend. My sister has been in town visiting from NYC, and we love having her home – especially Taylor!

This weekend Taylor go to do his “Spoil Me Rotten” weekend with Nene and Poppy in Brandson, and he had so much fun going to Silver Dollar City, staying at a hotel, and eating out.

At one point Taylor and Nene were in the car waiting on Poppy to get their Subway, and Taylor said to Nene “Nene which way are you looking?”
Nene: “well Taylor I am looking to my left.”
Taylor: “what do you see Nene?”
Nene: “well I see a little boy with his pants down going to the bathroom on that car tire.”
Taylor: “Nene, I see the same thing. Why is that little boy going to the bathroom on a car?”
You are too cute Taylor – evidently this situation really took you back, and made you think.

For my readers – I do have to apologize that you always see pictures of Emma. I do want everyone to know that I love my Taylor man just as much as Emma, but the child will not let me have any pictures of him. I just don’t want anyone to think that I favor one of my children over the other!

Taylor Funny

Last night as we were headed to the ball park for practice/team pictures Taylor starts yelling “oh mom, my foot is having a heart attack, these cleats are killing my feet, they are having a heart attack.” Silly little boy – I don’t even know what you know about having a heart attack.
