EMMA'S second BiRtHdAy!
~The cake~
Emma sure seemed to understand that it was all about her special day!
She loved the candles, although blowing them out was harder than she thought! With help from the other kids she figured it out pretty quick. But that is "Emma style," all she needs is a little encouragement and she is MISS INDEPENDENT!
Enjoying her cake
This sweet little girl of ours has been such a joy to watch grow up these past two years! I'll admit she dared to do everything sooner and with more "INTENSITY" than any of my other kids. Those who know me, might say, watch out!
EMMA didn't just learn to walk at 11 months... she learned to do somersaults, hop and run! Her abilities on a trampoline astonish every audience, as she some how with her tiny build manages to bound 2ft off the tramp and land without buckling at the knees! She recently learned how to do an amazing "James Bond" stunt to get out of her crib! She pulls herself up with her arms so she can lift a leg over the top rail and then in one motion she swings herself over, catching herself with straight arms on the top rail as she free falls to the floor! IT IS QUITE AMAZING TO BEHOLD!
.....And you can imagine, it makes bedtime.... interesting! She has been snuggling in bed with Maddi for the past week, they are so cute to watch as they giggle and play before they drift off into dream land! It would be nice to be able to take down her crib so we'll see how long we can keep her in a big bed, so far so good!
Emma is so full of life, energy and love. She is always ready to give a snuggle or a kiss, and boy oh boy is she a talker! Her latest is "Gimme that! We're working on some other options when she wants something,....NOW!
She can talk in sentences now and has got quite the mind of her own! Her latest trend is wanting to stay up late with Mom and Dad for some quality time, she feels so big when she can pull that off!
Our love for each of our children grows as they learn, and yet I have found myself wishing that I could just freeze time lately with our sweet Emma! I love every minute with this bubbly little angel, who can always bring a smile and makes the walls of our home echo with sweet laughter every day!
I love you Emma
