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!

Amalie & Walker

Amalie and Walker came over to try out some of the toys that Emerson got for Christmas. The girls are starting to play together a little better, and Walker was very content to sit and watch. It won't be long before he is ready to join in on the fun!

Emmy Smiles

This video shows Emmy's latest way of smiling. To most of us, it's called blinking, but to Em, it's a smile!

Mackenzie's birthday party(s)

Turning five is a very big deal and Mackenzie has had multiple parties to celebrate the occasion. Emerson enjoyed all of the opportunities for cake! She also had a lot of fun playing with her cousins and her first trip to Chuck E Cheese.




Emmy is finally getting teeth. Along with the bottom two, three more are now visible on the top. Pretty soon, she'll actually be able to take bites of food, although her lack of teeth hasn't slowed her down. Her favorite things to play with right now are balls and baby dolls. She loves to wash the babies' faces, feed them and push them in strollers. When we go shopping, she can spot pictures of babies or balls from across the room and shouts it out. I can't tell you how many balls I have bought for her now!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Emerson's daddy's birthday was also this weekend. GG and Granddad were in town to celebrate, and we had a wonderful weekend. I don't think we'll have to eat all week after all of the delicious meals that we had! On Saturday night, we had dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Anyone familiar with Soulard knows that the brewery is just down the road, making Budweiser a very popular beverage, but contrary to what Aunt Carolyn says, her daddy and I think Emmy has about another 20 years of milk before she gets any!

Cousin Ben's Birthday

Just after Emerson turned 13 months, Ben turned one! With two one year olds, and a house full of excitement, we weren't able to get a good picture of them together. But, we had a lot of fun at the party!
