The Weekend Update

We had quite the busy weekend. I can't believe how quickly our little Emma Bean is growing up. She finally is very interested in walking and has made tons of progress this weekend walking independently. And her interest in the world around her is amazing. She is so nosy!

Friday we went to a picnic on base. Holy hotness! It was in the tennis bubble and it was boiling! Paul had to stay and clean up afterwards so Em and I went to pick up our free federal parks pass and then sat in the swagger wagon, drinking smoothies, and watching Sex and the City.

I realized, as we watched the Sex and the City movie, that we are now in the phase of we have to watch what we say, do, and see. There was a very brief scene where Miranda and Steve are having sex. You don't really see anything, but there was some moaning and what not. When the scene ended Emma looked at me and starting making panting noises. And then she spent the next 5 minutes walking around the van, making panting noises. I'll admit I laughed, but she was just so funny!

Paul took Em home while I went to an appointment and I got this pic on my phone. Paul stopped by a park that we hadn't been to before and they had a great area for little kids (we went again this morning, too).



Saturday morning we woke up and went to The Home Depot with Paul. For the first time we put Em in the fun cart where she could face forward and "drive." She thought it was fantastic as you can see by her expression. Of course it's like pushing a bus, but at least she had a good time.

After Home Depot it was home for a nap. Em fell asleep in the car and actually stayed asleep being carried up to her crib. Miracle of all miracles!

After she woke up from her nap it was time for the birthday party! It was for beautiful and smart 2 year old Adrianna and it was at the Little Gym. I was super excited to take Em there because I knew she'd have a good time. It's kind of like a mini gymnastics place and they have kiddie tumbling, gymnastics, movement classes, etc.

I know this picture isn't very good, but you can see that Em is NOT having a good time at all. haha I have never seen this girl move so much! There was so much to climb on, see, do, scarves, balls, a bouncey runway...You could tell Em was thinking how much she loves birthday parties!

And this was all before they brought out the cupcakes. I think of all the kids there Em enjoyed her cupcake the most. And she was NOT sharing! No ma'am. I think she finished the whole cupcake in under 5 minutes. Our little piglet. That's watermelon in her other hand so at least she had something healthy.



For some reason Em is not into baths right now so you can imagine how fun it was trying to clean her up after all this.

This morning, since it was my morning to get up with her, Em decided 5am was the time to wake up. I tried to get her to lay back down with us, but I guess she's too big. She still likes to cuddle, but unless she isn't feeling well she so does not want to lay back down in the morning. We finally got out of bed around 6am and by 6:25am were on our way to the gas station to gas up the swagger wagon. The first station we went to was closed, but luckily another station was close since I had no gas. Then we went for donuts and got there 20 minutes before they opened. Oops! I put a kid friendly movie into the dvd player and we hung out until they opened the drive through.

When Paul finally got up (at 9am!) we watched Joel Osteen, went to the park, and went out to lunch with our friend Rebekah at Outback. Delicious!

All in all a busy and fun family weekend!
