Cute Hair!

I love to do Emma's hair, when she lets me. This is a hairstyle I did recently to hide some spots that she "trimmed" by herself. (A few short choppy chunks taken from the sides and top look a little bit funky without help.) I think I did pretty well. ;) She looks pretty stinkin cute!

Emma, CrazyHorse

Emma is a horse freak. She has a TON of plastic horses, My Little Ponies, stuffed horsey animals, and stick horses. But REAL horses are just TOO COOL! Grammie took Emma to Hockley, TX last night and she was in "horsey heaven"! She fed the horse an apple, loved on him, and even got to ride him. Grammie says she a natural! She knows how to hold onto the "horn" (saddlehorn) and even grips with her knees pretty well. I think we have a natural horsewoman on our hands!

Emma's "Heart Song" Dance

After watching "Happy Feet" for the thousandth time, Emma was feeling rather inspired. She got out her tutu and put on a modern/freestyle tap dance for me. She even said, "Look, Mom. My Heart Song!" . Cute girl! I thought it was hilarious, so I had her do it on video. Its shakey, but cute!

Boo-boo Baby!

Last night our little cutie baby had an accident. She was sitting in a small chair, when Cole ran by and knocked the chair over. She bit her top lip really badly. She also ripped the little piece of skin that attaches the upper gums to the top lip. She bled profusely and was very upset. She was comforted ONLY by Mommy giving her an ice cold baba. Her lip was so swollen and black last night that I wasn't sure if she'd be able to eat today. Her swollen lip was as big and round as her nose. She is fine today, of course. She has small scabs on her top lip and is still sore inside her mouth. She will heal nicely.

Emma, the Walker

Over the past few weeks, our little Miss Em has been preparing to walk. She loves when Zoe "walks" her around the house and plays "ring-around-the-rosies" with her. She always anticipates the "we all fall down" part. Cute!

She has occasionally demonstrated her skills at walking 3 to 5 steps between Mom& Dad. Although lately she has been refusing to amuse her many admirers further. She obviously does NOT perform on demand.

But yesterday I caught her walking with ease from one toy to another. This, of course, was when she was unaware Mom was watching. The day before she even helped Aubree clean by walking over to the toy box to deposit a ball.

Apparently she CAN walk when she desires to do so. Now, there is little reason when there are so many willing helpers about. With a dainty point of the finger and bat of those long, lovely eyelashes, she is given anything or carried anywhere she desires. That's the life!

Hopefully she will be walking before we see Grammie & Grandad.
