Cute Things Emme Says

I asked Emme what HoHo (Santa) says, and she said "Gobble Gobble". Too cute. I of course did not correct her, because that is too precious.

Instead of Emme saying Oh Man, she says "Oh Mam"

Emme always answers me "Yes Maam" I am so proud of how sweet she is.....sometimes!

I love to document all the cute things little E says and does, so I can remember forever.

The Perfect Tree

I am wondering what the heck I am doing up at this time....it is 3:30 am and I cannot sleep. Ugh! I was so exhausted from the last couple of days. Emme has been sick with diarrhea. Thank goodness she is still in diapers, cause I don't think I could have handled it in big girl panties! Anyways, we are praying tomorrow is a better day.
Lets see, we have been doing lots of Chrsitmas shopping lately and today, we went to my precious niece Molly's 1 Birthday party. I cannot beleive she is 1. She is like 2 feet and half and she waddles all around. It is so funny to watch her walk because her legs are so short and bow-legged. Too cute. I will post pics of her when I get my camera out of the car.
We recently had our annual Christmas Tree decorating party. We had plans to go to a tree farm and cut down our own while enjoying the festivities of the season, but it gets dark so early now we did not make it. We went up the street to a tree lot, and let me tell you that is a rip. The guy wanted to charge us $100 plus tax for a 6ft tree. I said no way and we headed to Home Depot and got a 7ft for $35. That's more like it. Anyways, Emme had a great time running around the trees playing keep away and hiding.
Just a cute thing E is doing now, is, whenever someone sneezes she tells them Bless You. It is so precious. I just love her talking. She is talking in such complete sentences now and she is actually making sense. Come January we will attempt the dreaded potty training!
Daddy and Emme decorating the tree. All the ornaments E "set" on the tree just tumble right off!
Emme enjoying her first cup f Hot Chocolate! She always tells me "chocolate mommy" That means she wants some more.
I think she found the perfect tree!


Daddy and his girl! He adores her. I always tease David because she has him wrapped around her finger so tight. He will do anything and everything for her. Some people thought I was spoiled by hime, you haven't seen nothing yet!





Well, I will try to turn off the lights and the computer now and close my eyes. Hopefully, I won't be sucked back into Facebook before I turn off the computer. It is so addicting! Oh yeah, if Emme is doing better in the moring, we are taking her to see Ho Ho! I will post pics soon.
Good Night!

"The Kid Table"

Thanksgiving 2008



Stuffed Hubby


My precious baby girl



Thanksgiving was great! We were up at 8:30am, Emme and I got the turkey in the oven and the stuffing prepared. Then Mimi and Pops arrived...Emme was so excited to see Mimi she jumped up and down and screeched! Too cute. I love it when she recognizes and gets excited about seeing Mimi and Pops.

It was so fun having all the family here (except Bridget's family), and all the food turned out perfect (except the pies). The lunch was fabulous, but my pies were a mess. I made a cheesecake that became the joke of the day. It was all bumpy, and zit like! My buttermilk pie was like water. I think I am in need of a new buttermilk pie recipe. The last couple of times I have made it according to the directions it is pretty watery in the middle. At least everyone else brought a pie!

It was also a very special day because David's brother, Daniel, was with us for his first time. He has not exactly been around too much in the last 10 years. I think he enjoyed himself and the family.
After lunch, we all retired to the living room and I retired to the bedroom. I got a well deserved nap. It was marvelous. Then we all got up and went for round two.
I am so thankful for my wonderful and very close family. There is nothing better than my sisters and my growing relationship with my mother.
Happy T-day!

Ready for T-Day

I am so ready for Tday. It is going to be great. I am hosting this year, with a slightly smaller group than usual. My Mom and Dad are coming in on Thursday morning and then just my sister, Holly's family, J.D, my little Bro, and my bro-in-law, Dan. The house is clean, the tables are decorated, and the turkey is still thawing (oops), hopefully it will be ready for the oven in the morning!
It was so fun making a kids table. We pulled Emme's table from her playroom into the dining room. Emme and I got Fall fabric for the table cloth and Emme decorated placemats for her very best friends and cousins, Heidi and Hannah. The girls even get a candle on their table.
I have to confess...I snuck a piece of cheesecake already!!! It looked way funny, so I decided I should test it to make sure it was not poisonous! Hahaha!
Something else exciting going on is, my brother has been out with a girl twice in one day and is still with her. If you don't know, this is a big deal as his heart was broken a year ago when his Fiance cheated on him! Ugh! It hurt him bad as you can imagine. Plus he is a sensative guy, as you can expect growing up in a house with all girls. Anyways, he has recently, as in this week, kicked his ex to the curb and told her he no longer wants contact with her. This is big because he still had hope and she has been dating etc. but still calling him and texting with him daily. So Monday, we celebrated his independence. We are praying he does not resort back to talking to her again as we know he finds comfort and routine with her since they were together since high school. Keep praying he stays interested in other girls. The girl he is with tonight may not be girlfriend material, but at least he can keep his time filled. (not saying this girl isn't good, I actually think she is good, but maybe not together!)
David, my hubby, has had 2 huge fires today! I just talked to him and he is exhausted and his hands are killing him. It is so scary to see your hubby on the news at a huge explosive fire, but when he calls it is such relief. Hopefully he is able to get some rest tonight so he can help out in the morning with food prep and Emme!
Lunch is at 12 and then he can veg infront of football. I will skip the football and dig into the Christmas decor. Yeah, it can finally go up!
Happy Thanksgiving to all...be thankful for everything and everyone you have, there are some people out there that are not as luck as you. Count your blessings!

"Booga Mommy"

Today I went to get E out of her bed after her nap...she was in her shades in her window. We were talking and she gets up stands back in her window and points to a green smear on the window seal and says "Booga Mommy". She had wiped boogers in her window. Too funny!! Gotta love everything they do, even if it is having a booger collection!!! (MKA, If you read this, this blog is dedicated to you!!!!!)

Sick

Well, E is sick again. Poor punkin can't stop coughing! Her nose is running, her eyes are miserable lookng and she coughs constantly.
We were up all night last night because the meidcine I gave her did not cause drowsiness, but it caused her to be more than alert. She was in bed with me and had to be right on top of me or her feet had to be in my face or her hand had to touch me in some way. When she wasn't playing with the alarm clock, she was dozing off or asking me " Momma, I watcha da TB?" That is Momma, I watch the TV? Too cute, but I sure am tired. She was ready for her "Oatmilk" (oatmeal) this moring after working so hard overnight.
After such a tough night, I just knew she would be ready for her afternoon nap early, so I put her down at 12pm. Yeah, she never went to sleep....I left her in there for 3 hours. When her crying got real, I went in there to rock her and calm her down, I was stroking her face and hair, and then when I quit, she stroked my cheek and hair. It was too sweet. I will forever remember that moment. I of course broke out in a cry so thankful for my precious baby.
This week has been a hard one....Emme has been testing me a ton, and I have been at witts end with her since I have been a single mom lately. Daddy has been working lots doing xmas lights and winter landscape, as well as, his regular Fireman job.
Say some prayers for tonight that we sleep soundly in our OWN beds.

My little smarty.

Today at Home Depot, we let Emme carry around an Elmo stocking that played music. She loved it, she danced, and was very excited. When is it was time to go, we took t from her and she got pretty upset. When David was carrying Emme to the car she cried "Elmo money". She knew she needed money to buy the Elmo. Money makes the world go round!
I wouldn't be surprised if Daddy brings Elmo home for his Princess!!

My Christmas List

All I want for Christmas and my Birthday!!! Donations accepted!!!!!!!!!! It's only $750! Hahahahaha. I only need $749 more! LOL!!!


Too Long...lets catch up!

Well, It has been too long....
We have been busy, but not too busy to post, just plain lazy.
I have been so excited about the holidays, I can't wait! We are planning the menu for Thanksgiving at my parents house. Yummy! I have been doing lots of Christmas shopping, which is my favorite. I love to buy for myself, but I really love to buy for other people too. I get nervous that maybe I did not spend enough or maybe they won't like it. I always try to get somebody something they want and if I don't hear them say something, I will get them something I want. I always want lots!!!
This year, I am stumped on what to get Miss E. She just had a Birthday 2 months ago and really loaded up, plus she never plays with toys except babies, and she has plenty of those. Any suggestions? I have lots of odds and ends for her, but not the one big great thing.
Here are some pictures of my little family when we went to spend a couple of days with Mimi and Pops. We always have a great time there. We are outside constantly playing. By the time we come in, it is time for bed. E sleeps til past 9am. She naps forever too. We love to be out there and E can just run wild outside between my parents house and my grandparents house. She loves to go over to GG and Papa's house because she knows right where GG keeps the cookies!

Big Girl Bed

It is official...Emme is a Big Girl. This evening we moved Miss E to her new big girl bed. (don't pay attention to her bedding or bedskirt, it is all being made) She was super excited about the bed while we were putting it together, but when it came time for the real thing, she was scared, nervous, and very upset. It is so cute, because she even has a big girl pillow. She has never used one before. I love it.
She did so good, she only got out twice. It took her about 2 hours to finally get to sleep, but she is asleep and looks so big in her new bed. I only cried a couple of times.

Amen!

Today Little E was naked sitting on the potty..she clasped her hands under her chin and said "Amen". It was so adorable. Then she said "Mommy do it" She showed me hoe to clasp my hands and had me repeat her. She smiled so big, she was very proud of herself.
I just love everything that she does!

Saturday, September 27, 2008

The things she says.

I love the things that Emme says...She ow says "Hold you", meaning hold me mommy. She always says "I sorry Mommy" if she runs into me or something. When she gets a boo boo, she has me kiss it to make it better. I absolutely love it.
E is also a little Momma. She must always have her baby with her. She holds the baby and says "shhhhh shhhhh shhhh" and bounces the baby. The baby is always covered up with her "banket" (blanket) and goes on long rides in her stroller all day everyday until it is time for bed and she either sleeps with Emme or E puts her to sleep in her cradle by E's bed. Anytime we leave the house E has to take the stroller too. We put E in her seat, hand her baby, bottle, and sippy, and then we have to load the stroller in the back of the car. She always checks to make sure it got there and we did not leave it behind. It is so cute. Also, baby always eats what E eats. She feeds her lots of bites. I love my "Little Momma".
Oh yeah, Emme got new Bunny Slippers today and she loved them. She put on her Pjs today and then of course she had to put on her new house shoes. They were super slippery, so she kept falling, it was pretty comedic!! Sorry E for laughing at you.
Last night at Aunt Holly's Heidi and Hannah gave E her bath then they dressed her in one of their night gowns and coaxed E to put on some panties just like them. She loved them. She ran downstairs to show everyone. When she would show someone, she would lift her gown and stick out her pelvis. Too funny. So this morning, I thought we could try panties and the potty. She out on the panties and danced around so proud of her Melmo panties (Elmo). She sat on the potty for a good 30 minutes off and on. The she did a big Panty Dance and then ran to her room. She came back to my room saying "Tee tee Tee Mommy". Of course, she went teetee on Melmo. Ah oh. So we are back to diapers. She doesn't really get it yet that she is not supposed to go in her pants, and everytime she needs to go that she should go to the potty. So I guess we will wait until later when she is ready and can communicate really well.
I love you Miss E. You are too special punkin.

The actual Birthday


E is 2! Wow, I really can't beleive it. She had a fun day, but was kind of sick most of the day. We woke up and had a special B-day breakfast complete with candles in her eggs. She loved that and actually blew them out herself. Then we play around the house for hours with Daddy. We got ready and headed for the mall to have lunch and go to Build A Bear. She picked a puppy. Very cute, but wow, they are truly expensive. She had fun playing with all the strollers there.

We headed home and tried to take a nap. She wasn't going to have that on her day. We just hung around the house and played the rest of the day.

She is so special to us, and we can't beleive she is such a big girl. Thank you Jesus!

Emme's 2! (almost, she had her party today!)

Yesterday we had much preperation for Emme's big Birthday Party. She helped make her cupcakes. It was her first cooking experience. She definately liked the reward of her hard work.
Emme licking her sweet rewards!
Pouring in the ingredients.
We had a great and very busy day today. We set off this morning to cousin Hannah's Birthday Party and a Bounce house place. Emme loved it. She was of course already tired from that party, and we had to head to her party at her gymnastics gym. She had a great turn out, and loved it. She was not much on staying with the party. She liked running around checking out the water fountain and the babies that were there.



Hannah, Emme, and Heidi


The Birthday Girl



OOOOOO, presents!

Miss Emme was asleep the minute her head hit Daddy's shoulder. He rocked her anyways. We are so excited out baby is growing up, but so sad she is getting so big and independent. We have to savor the moments that she will let us snuggle her and love her, because it goes so fast.
Emme, we love you more than you will ever know. You are truly the most precious thing in our lives. Happy Birthday! (2 days early) Love, Mommy and Daddy

Emme's 1st Emergency Room Trip

During the storm Emme decided to jump off the bed into her 4 year old cousin, Hannah's arms, unfortunately Hannah could not withstand the 23lbs and fell to the floor with Emme in tow. Emme hit Hannah's head with some part of her chin (we think) and bit right through her tongue. It gushed blood all over my shirt and it hurt very bad. She cried forever. After 3 hours her mouth was still bleeding, so we met her Daddy at the hospital. Daddy is a paramedic, so we got the VIP treatment. By the time we got to the emergency room her tongue had stopped bleeding and had already began to heal.
Well, it wasn't a completely wasted trip, E got to see Daddy and that is a real treat for her. She absolutely cannot be out of his arms when he is home. There is something about a Daddy and his girl.
Update:
This morning Emme awoke happy and her tongue looked good. She ate good and her tongue did not seem to bother her at all. I was able to get a look at it this morning as we played tent under the covers with a flashlight and it has already closed up majorily! Amazing how we can heal so fast.
7 days until Miss Emme is 2!!

Whoo Hoo!! She Did It!

Yeah, she did it! I thought the day would never come when she would be ready to actullay sit on her potty longer than 2 seconds. She actually sat for about 5 seconds (with her pearl necklace on), then she stood up and said "Mommy, look, tee tee" I of course jumped up and down and made a huge deal of it. Then she ran to get her Uncle Dan to see. He did really good and acting excited. Is it crazy that I teared up seeing my precious baby so excited she did such a wonderful and big girl thing? I am so sad, but excited she is getting older.
Thankfully, she still lets me rock her everynight before I lay her down. Who knows how long that will last, but I do know it will be over way to soon.
We sit and wait!
Yeah, Emme went tee tee in the potty!
Wow, it takes a big mess for one small tee tee! She was not able to make it all the way on the toilet after her first tee tee fill-up. We had two towels to catch the rest!
And she's off in her big girl panties!
We are planning tomorrow for a day at the home in big girl panties! Say your prayer for us.

Potty Time

Well, we are hoping it is getting closer to Potty Time! Emme spent a lot of time bare bottomed on Saturday with her potty. We have had the potty sitting out for about 6 weeks, but Emme does not want to sit on it unless she has clothes on. Saturday, she finally sat on her potty with no diaper on. Yeah!!! She tore lots of toilet paper and did a swipe on her bottom like she was wiping and then dropped the paper in the potty, then she would retreive the used toilet paper and do it all over again. She even had her puppy go teetee in the potty! She never made any teetee, just lots of torn paper. After about 30 minutes, she brought me a diaper and she layed down. I think her diaper actually makes her feel good!!
Say your prayers for us, she is definately not interested in putting any teetee or poopoo in the potty. I don't want to have a 3 yr old in diapers!
Emme's puppy going teetee
Emme wiping her bottom! I love this picture, I will be sure to save it for her first date!!! Thankfully she is wearing her necklace!

Busy Days

Emme assisting the cripple!
Peek a boo



Emme on Mimi and Pops "trashcycle". That is what we call a bike we found in the trash!

Miss E has been sick the last couple of days. We had gone so long since her surgery and she was fine, but then colds struck my brother and nieces, so E is now sick. She acted like she felt better today, but we did not chance is, and stayed home from church. Instead we went to Central Market to stock up on yummy fruits and veggies and of course try all the samples. Emme loved that part.
We have stayed busy lately. I have begum teaching the Prek class at Emme's MDO. It is pretty fun, but lots of work. Teachers definately don't get paid for all the hours they put in.
Last week, I suffered from excrutiating tooth pain. I went to the dentist and she said I needed a root canal. So of course no one could get me in until the following day. I went home and began the dosage of Lortab the Doc prescribed and was sicker than a dog. I threw up for hours in addition to my tooth pain. The worst part was when i wanted to sleep I had to remain sitting up or else my tooth got even more unbearable. Anyways, I finally went to the Endodontist and she said she did not think I needed to have a root canal. She sent me home in hopes that my tooth would get better. (this was Thursday) My mom had luckily come into town the day before and was able to take Emme and I back home with her. It was so fun for Emme. I of course laid there in agony over my tooth.
Mimi and E played hard. My mom called Emme her little shadow. Everywhere Mimi went, her Emme was sure to go!! They ran errands, visited Pops at school, swam, played outside, went over to visit GG and Papa (Emme's great grandparents and also my parents neighbor).
The funniest thing E learned at Mimi's was the "go Fishin" game the one that goes round and round and you have to stick you pole in the mouth while it is open. Anyways, she thought it was so fun to stick her finger in the mouth and then pretend to scream like the fish was eating her finger. She is a clever one. Also, mimi's light switches are lower so she got a stool and stood on it to turn the lights off and on.
Mimi was tired from our visit I am sure. We met David Monday morning had breakfast and Emme and I went home. Remember it is Monday (labor Day) and I am still in pain. So finally on Tuesday, we returned to MDO. I had to teach in pain still. I called the Endodontist as soon as they opened Tues morning and they could not see me until Wed at 11am. I wanted to cry! I made it thru Tuesday and Wed morning I dropped E at my sisters and headed for my appt. This is the 1st time I have evr really wanted to drop $1000 on a dang tooth! I arrived and the Doc looked at my tooth and said "lets do root canal". Ya Think?!!! I was releived of tooth and gum pain with in an hour! I loved handing over $1000 for that fix. I was so excited about sleeping laying down I couldn't stand it!.
On Thursday, David and I made plans to head to see my other sister for the night since her hubby was out of town and she like me hates to stay by herself. I got in my car to head to MDO Thurs morning and get a call from my mom, whom was already visiting my sister and planned to leave when we arrived. Anyways, she proceeded to explain how she was chasing gold balls with my nephew in the street and stepped on a curb failure and Broke her ankle!
Ah oh as Emme would say. So, David and I drove to pick her up and then take her car back home. We arrived back at my parents with mom in tow and her cast. So Emme got to be with Mimi again, only this time mimi's shadow stayed very still since mimi couldn't move too much. When mimi would try to walk on her crutches Emme would pull her crutches assisting her in her walk.
Well, that was a long post, but it had been awhile. We are now pain free and getting better, and back in our own beds for a while. Yeah!

First Day of School

Today Emme went to school. She had a great time in her class. Her teachers are so fun and I know she will enjoy them this year.
I too went to school. I am teaching Pre K at the same church were Emme goes to MDO. We had a good first day. It will be fun, cause I can do all those projects I have always wanted to do and teach.
Emme and Daddy ready for school. Emme would not take a picture by herself.

Fun Friday Night

I think I might still be the funnest Aunt even after having my own kids.
Tonight Emme and I had the pleasure of "Big Kid Sitting" Heidi and Hannah. We started off our fun evening by picking up a pizza and having a picnic in the front yard with Sunkist Orange Drink. (that is a biggie, cuz they don't get that kind of delicious drink at home) After we ate, the girls took turns riding in the wagon up and down my street. After they were hot and sweaty, we jumped in the car with a crisp $1 bill each and headed to CVS to pick out a special dessert. Of course, they partook in the usually kid treat of Skittles and Starburst. Even Emme got a dollar and paid the clerk when she picked hers. (for those of you who worry if emme had an entire bag of Skittle, no way)
Heidi and Hannah chose to wait until later to indulge in the delight, but Emme tore right in. As soon as we reached home, the girlies hopped into a bath to get squeaky clean. They then participated in a game of puppy with the dog leash. I have never seen Emme laugh so hard as she did when Heidi and Hannah were her puppy on a leash and barked. Sadly, all good things have to come to an end and Miss E had to get to bed.
After the "baby" was tucked in, the "Big Girls" snuck off for a little High School Musical and our delicious desserts. Within about 30 minutes of the movie, both girls were sound asleep together. See the great pics below.
I love being the "Fun" Aunt!

Oh The Drama

Today my sister, and Emme's Aunt Holly dropped by...Emme ran to her immediately and loved on her for a bit, but then...Aunt Holly (or Mommy as Emme calls her) had to leave. See pics of Emme below when Aunt Holly had to leave her.

So sad, she finally got better when we told her that Holly would bring Heidi over in just a minute. It was a bit longer than a minute and Emme waited and thought she had heard Heidi and got very excited, but it was not her. In the end, Heidi and Hannah came over to be with Emme. And they lived happily ever after!!

MINE

Wow, MINE... If I never hear that again, it will be too soon. Emme who will be 2 next month won't quit with the MINE and a fit. She had Heidi and Hannah over this morning for a couple of hours and said mine and threw a million fits. She is an only child so far and is looking like she may remain so. What do I do so that she does not become a Spoiled BRAT. Spoiled is okay, but not the brat part. I discipline and try to stay right on it, but she continues. What am I doing wrong, or is just her age that is causing this stage? I pray for a sweet, precious, baby with fabulous manners, and that she is easy to love and be with!
After the hours of MINE, we headed outside for a walk to the park to play and feed the ducks. Not only did we feed the ducks, but we fed the turtles, the gigantic catfish, and the minnows. Emme thought the ducks were great. She bocked at them like a chicken. Anything with a beak is a chicken of course. We also got to see lots of dogs through the fences as we walked. It is so fun and entertaining to watch her get a kick out of hearing a dog bark, or a ball on the ground in someones yard. Oh to be a 2 year old and think the simplest things are so wonderful. We are now home and Emme has a full peanut buttery belly and is fast asleep.
I love this time of day, now I can get caught up and plan for the second half of the day fun activities. Planning activities reminds me I can't wait for early fall. It reminds me of all the holidays that will soon be upon us and the weather gets so wonderful, we can actually go outside to play more with out soaking our clothes in sweat. Yeah, come on Fall.

We are still here.

I have been a bad blogger! I felt like we have been busy, but thinking back to my last blog, we really haven't been. I have just been super lazy. Huh, I am in such a slump right now. I feel like I am just living day to day without much to look forward to. Don't take this the wrong way, I am not like suicidal, I am just like "what are we doing?" It is probably a feeling of not having a job to go to and my baby is now so much more self sufficient and doesn't need me constantly, so I now have a spare minute or two.
Hmmm, I guess I will begin to think about the holidays that I cannot wait for!
What we have been doing.....
Last week, I was called by my previous boss with the property company I worked for and was asked to redecorate an apartment leasing office, clubroom, and model. Let me tell you, I love to spend someone else's money when I go shopping. It was so fun to have money in hand and decorate using modern furniture and colors I won't do in my house because they are not my style, but are still fun and look great and new. I would love to put this into play and this be a business I can do pemanently, like staging houses on the market. Fun, Fun!
Other than that, Emme was sick for a couple of days, so we hung out at home and played in her new Playroom.
Emme recently scored a playroom. She calls if a "wayroo". It is so cute to hear her say it and run to it and get so excited.
I cannot beleive how much more she talks everyday. Today she added "bracelet" to her vocabulary. She is all girl and super sassy with all her jewlery and purse on at all times.
It is quite amazing how a little girl has these inate inhibitions to be a "mommy". Emme love babies and always holds her baby and rocks her. She throws her baby over the side rails of her bed and then has me cover her baby up. It is precious that she has done all this on her own. It is incredible we were wired this way to be mommies.
Okay, I am going to get with it and blog everday for a week. I want this blog to be a diary of our lives that Emme will have for the rest of her life. This such a fun way to keep up with our lives and Emme can one day read what we did on a Wednesday afternoon when she is 25 yrs old!
Oh yeah, school starts next Tuesday. Yeah, Emme can go to school and learn that everything is not "MINE"! She is such an only child. We gotta work on this!
Fancarella in her stilettos. She got all dressed up for church!
Daddy and his Princess. This is the first picture she actually smiled for when I said "Say Cheese".

Roller Girl

Rollin with her Walker
Heidi, Hannah, and Emme Roller Girls

Lets Roll

Uh, look at that Booty!



Rest time.

We had such a fun day today...
We went Roller Skating!
Emme had a fabulous time skating with her cousins, Heidi and Hannah. It was Emme's first time to skate. Let me tell you about precious. The little skates were tiny tan suede and they velcroed. Of course the wheels were tight so she could walk, but she still had to keep balance and the front wheels would still spin easily, but she surprisingly did very well for a 22 month old who has been walking for less than a year.
Once she got the skates on I let her test them out and she fell a couple of times but thought she was hot stuff because her older cousins had on the same thing. She grabbed her walker (see pic) and took off to the music. When a fast upbeat song came on, she had to let go and put her hands in the air and bounce to the beat. She is a big time dancerella.
We had a great time at the Texas Skatium! I am somewhat computer stupid, so I cannot figure out how to put my video on the blog. But just think how cute she is in the pics only a 1k more adorable!!
