Emily 23 Months!

Today is the last of the monthly pictures I'll be taking/posting of Emily. Can't believe this little baby of mine is going to be 2 next month!!! Love this girl to pieces!!

Emily is so much fun...and independent...and I'm just loving her personality more and more each day.

She is still my little snuggler and she'll still let me hug on her and love on her.

Emily is getting more opinionated on what she does and does not want.

She is still a pretty good eater overall. Her favorites are grapes and crackers.

She loves to play outside. Right now she loves to play with daddy's rocks around the garden bed. Yeah...that drives him crazy.

She LOVES naptime...and so do I! She has been napping for at least 3 hours lately....I'm able to get so much done in that time. 

She is still her shy sweet self. She still gets apprehensive when we go anywhere to see anyone new...or whenever someone comes over. She is quite glued to my side.

She's talking more and more each day. She'll try to repeat most things. But overall, she's still pretty quiet.

Oh...her FAVORITE....is watching the baby genius sing a long songs on the TV. She doesn't care to watch anything else on TV...but this is her favorite! She'll watching it several times in a row. When I tell her we are going to watch "Emily's show"...she gets really excited and starts clapping and saying "yay". 







Elliott was trying to hid from the camera....but my camera was too fast for him to hide his face from me!

She was playing with a cord...and she didn't care that I was telling her "no" a gazillion times. But she did fall apart when I took it away.

And this is what she does to let me know she's upset with me...she gently lays herself on the floor and makes sure I am watching her. It's pretty funny.

Monkey Joe's

 We had a mom's club activity at monkey joe's today. The kids...once again...have been cooped up in the house...so it was good to get them out.

Emily had no interest in this place!! But Elliott LOVED it!!

Chuck E Cheese

My parents are in town to help me after I had surgery. The kids have been cooped up lately...so we ventured out to Chuck E Cheese. I used to love taking them because we could get there at 9 am and no one would be there. But now they don't open until 11 am....darn! The kids still had a great time!! Emily was a lot more active this time...and wanted to ride more rides than just the carousel.

Teacher Gift

Today was the last day of speech for Elliott for the school year! We LOVE Elliott's speech teacher. She is so sweet and kind and loves my little boy! She has helped him out so much this year.

So this is the teacher gift we gave her this year. I had the makings of the sugar scrub and the bath salts...super easy to make! And we picked her up an Orange Leaf giftcard.

Houston Zoo

We went to the Houston Zoo today. It's been a long time since we've been...last time was when Elliott was less than a year old. Last year we got a state parks pass....so we decided to get a year pass to the zoo. And somehow, we still managed to find alligators and snakes. This boy LOVES reptiles!

My 2 Handsome Boys!!

I'm so proud of Patrick! He has lost 30 lbs and can now fit in his suit from 5 years ago!! He looks so good...and especially in his suit!! He does get bummed because he feels like no one has noticed he's lost weight. But he's a guy...I don't think guys talk as much about their weight. And I recently got Elliott this suit...I think he looks so good too!! Love these guys so much!!!
