In the Daisies

 The daisies are blooming at our house...
everywhere!
 She was playing with a pink ball, and when she threw it, I caught it...with the camera!
She got bored with balls and flowers and took my necklace...
 waving at a neighborhood walker passing by...
Silly.

Mommy & Daddy

I tried to get some pictures of Em with each of us when I took her 19 month ones. It didn't work so well.
-this one's pretty cute though-

-reading the toddler Bible-
-dimples, like Daddy- 
Now Mommy's turn...
 "Take it now, Babe!"
 "I got her....just point and click!"
"Nice try...Maybe next time"

Learning to Jump!

We've been trying to teach Em how to jump this week. It is so funny. She tries and tries, and giggles and giggles, but is no where close to getting both feet off the ground at the same time.
While taking her 19 month pictures, I mentioned the word "jump" and so it began...
"Bend your knees..."
"Now jump up!"
-a little twist action gives the impression she's jumping- 
 -lifting your shoulders won't get you off the ground, but it sure is cute!-
-Totally worn out. Fake jumping is super hard work.-

She is 19 months old

Miss Emily turned 19 months old on the 19th. In her cute outfit from Bia, we took some pictures.



Oh precious one, you are getting so big. But more and more beautiful, for sure!

My First Video Camera

My sweet hubby bought me a Kodak Play >Touch for Mother's day and I love it! I had a melt down a few months ago when I realized that every video of my daughter's first year of life was taken on my cell phone. And that just won't do any longer!
We spent Mother's Day weekend with Matt's parents at their lake house in Arkansas. During the course of the weekend, Matt's mom got a new grandmother-name, from Buela to Bia. Because that's what Emily calls her.
I used the camera a lot, and then put it together into one long video. So watch if you want...it's about 10 minutes, and there's nothing too exciting, except just watching Em be Em. (There is a funny scene of her playing peekaboo with her shirt (minute 5) and splashing her feet in the water-around minute 8 :-)  )
Oh- and Matt's mustache is because he grew a gottee while he was on vacation - then started shaving it off- then left the mustache because it's funny & looks totally ridiculous. It lasted about 12 hours.
