she loves to dance

Our precious girly loves dancing. And singing. And music. Of any kind. I can't remember what music she was dancing to when she asked me to take these photos, but she was loving it!

moving to her first "big girl" bed

While here at the Smillies', Emma has been sleeping in a playpen since her crib was a bit too large for the room we are in. She keeps growing, though, and we've finally had to move her to a mattress. She was so excited to have a bed!
Having a big bed was so special that it took her quite a while to settle down and actually sleep. :)

at Grampa and Grammie's

We are visiting the Jacobsen family in California this week, and last night Julia and Emma baked us a dessert. :)

every little girl loves buttons :)

I found a bunch on vintage buttons at a flea market last Sunday, and on Monday I let Emma play with them. :) At first she was enjoying looking at the individual buttons, but pretty soon she moved to placing (or throwing) them into a vase and then dumping them back and forth.

She had sooooo much fun!

Ian is working at getting those legs nice and strong for crawling. :)

Emma was talking away in her room when she was waking up from her nap (so sweet!):

Webcam time with Grammie

Emma loves visiting with Grampa and Grammie Jacobsen (and the uncles and aunties) using the webcam. Of course, they love it too!

being girly

Emma found my old tutu and was wearing it this morning. Quite the look with the piggy jammies, don't you think? :)

And she also loves Veggie Tales, in case you were wondering. Really loves them. And singing and dancing along. :)

Emma has some serious dance moves :)

our pumpkin

Emma was fascinated by the goo inside the pumpkin. At first she wasn't sure what to do about it, but then she kept trying to help. :)

so, this was fun

I let Emma play in the sink last night, and she had a ball. Water is SO MUCH FUN!

Now the only problem is that she knows how to get up to the sink and I've already found her playing with the clean dishes twice today. Maybe I can teach her how to put them away?
