O Christmas Tree

Here are some pictures that I found on my computer from Christmas...
Just as Emma loved the light of the candle on her baptism day, she loved the lights on the Christmas tree.

Grandpa David's Classroom

A few weeks ago...or maybe a few months ago....time sure has flown, Emma was able to go up to Grandpa David's 4th grade classroom and play student for the afternoon.
Here are a few sneak peaks at what we have to look forward to in about 8 or so years! :)

Tooth Alert!

Emma now has 6 teeth! 4 across the top and the 2 middle ones on the bottom.

In the Box

We have been continually finding Emma climbing inside of things. First, it was the little people farm box back at Christmas time, then it was the canvas tote at Matt and Stacy's. Her most recent hanging out place is inside her block container. She doesn't even need our help anymore to get inside of the box. She just yells for us when there are no longer any toys within reach of her to put inside the box with her. Here are a few pics to show her having fun in the box!

**By the way, Emma and I are home sick today :(**

Emma could be the next Pepsi-Baby after a trip to Extreme Pita on Saturday!

Just an update: 2 new teeth---both on top but not the middle ones. 2/24 & 2/27

Supper Time

As you can see, we have recently given up on the cloth bib around the neck during meal time. We purchased some bib-shirts from IKEA that literally go on like a paint shirt. Emma points at them hanging with the aprons on the side of the cupboard whenever we ask her if she's ready for some yum-yums. I attempted to save money during these long North Dakota winter months by purchasing frozen fruit and thawing some each day for her snack. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again any time soon.
As soon as she heard our reaction to her rubbing the raspberries all over in her hair, she continued to do it. Like I said the other day, we deserve every minute of it and we couldn't be more blessed!
