Trip to the Zoo

We made a quick trip to the zoo on Sunday afternoon. It was our first time this year, and now Emerson is old enough to really see the animals and react to them. She liked watching the tigers play and really enjoyed being so close to the penguins. We finished off the afternoon with frozen custard from Ted Drewes. Of course, Emerson loved that!

Build A Bunny

We took Emerson to Build A Bear to make a bunny this weekend. She loved it... for about 10 seconds. Although she quickly lost interest in the process, she did enjoy feeding and playing with "Peaches" at home. The final picture shows how a one year old acts after a little too much cinnamon sugar pretzel.

Little Fishy

We finally got some pictures of Emerson during her swim lessons. She loves the water- even going under! She is very relaxed on her back and likes to "swim" to the toys. She is even starting to learn that she needs to kick to move in the water. Her favorite time is when she gets to splash during the songs and do the hokey pokey with her little friend in the class!

Daddy's new office

Jeff finally got to move his office this week! It's not even a block away from the old office, but the new one is in a recently renovated building. Emerson loved running around, exploring the rooms and testing out all of the doors.

We love weekends!

We planned today perfectly - played at the park , went home for a nap while it stormed, and then went for a walk when it was sunny again! We finished our afternoon eating pizza at a sidewalk cafe in the neighborhood which we all enjoyed (even Jackson!).

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

After a cold winter, we finally had wonderful weather on a weekend! After gymnastics class this morning, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to play outside. Emerson had so much fun that she skipped her nap to allow for more playtime.

Emmy gets so excited every time she sees her Bitty Baby that I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of her and "Baby".

Feeding Jackson

Emerson has decided that she is going to help Jackson eat his dinner. To do this, she feeds him one piece at a time by throwing it "to" him. The video shows her doing this (and our doofus dog actually waits for her to do it). For everyone's viewing pleasure, I did not record her feeding him the whole dish!
