Our Horse

Emily Kathryn can finally get on her horse all by herself. You can't tell, but in this picture she is jumping up and down like crazy. I just love her crazy morning hair:)

Happy Saturday!

16 Months

Here are some fun facts about EmK:

-- The biggest change I've seen in EmK this last month is her vocabulary. She can say several words including: ball, dog, duck, shoe, bow, josh (her uncle) along with mama, dada, and bye. ----When she's not saying these words she is babbling in her "baby language" all day long! It's so funny to hear. We've had lots of frustration when it comes to communicating. She will point to things she wants and if I pick up the wrong thing, she lets me know:)

--She still loves her wagon and enjoys being in her stroller when I go for walks.

--EmK has started playing with her babies. She carries them around or hugs them. She has a baby stroller and she will push them around.

--She loves to play with her kitchen set and her pots and pans.

It's hard to get EmK to stand still for a picture these days. I am sure this won't get any easier.

Making something to eat for dad

Feeding him:)

We tried to take pictures on Mother's Day...this was the best one and I'm not even in it!

Beach Time

Last weekend we headed to Florida. Although we didn't see much sunshine....we were able to play outside all weekend. EmK loved the beach and the sand.....she had it EVERYWHERE!!! She didn't seem to mind that the water was cold. We took LOTS of walks around WaterSound and EmK loved riding in her wagon.

We had a great time....and EmK was on the GO the entire weekend. We ate lots of great seafood and even got the opportunity to meet my sister and her husband in Seaside for dinner one night.

I've quickly learned that the beach isn't exactly relaxing with kids;) but it is lots of FUN!

Jordan is such a GREAT dad....he got in the ocean and pool with EmK....way too cold for me!!

15 Months

I'm behind.....EmK is almost 16 months, but I wanted to post a few pictures.

--Emily Kathryn's hair is getting really curly:)

-- We've been busy with swim lessons this month. EmK didn't mind being put under water, but had no desire to learn how to blow bubbles in the water. I think all she really wanted to do was run around the pool:)

--We've been to the zoo several times this month

--EmK LOVES to ride in her wagon. If the ride is too short she lets me know when I try to park the wagon and get her out.

-- For the most part we are only taking one nap a day. Sometimes if Emily Kathryn gets up extra early we fit a morning nap in, but that doesn't happen too often.

--She babbles all the time. I can't wait to understand what she is trying to say

When EmK sees me trying to take pictures she RUNS toward the camera to try and take it from me.

This book ('Tails') is EmK's favorite. She has almost torn all the tails out BUT still loves to turn the pages over and over....

My sister brought her kids to Birmingham during their Spring Break and we went to the zoo.

The Zoo Splash Pad -- hard to get a face shot since EmK has to wear a hat:) She loved the water even though it was cold!!
