Sunday Brunch

Today we took Emma to sunday brunch. She has been a bit under the weather, but was a trooper. She really seemed to enjoy the blueberry pancakes! Daddy had a bit too much of the omelet bar...

Super Bowl Sunday

We had a little gathering for Super Bowl Sunday. A few neighborhood friends/kids came over. Emma was holding court, as usual. All in all, we enjoyed a great game, and the kids enjoyed their Robin Hood video...

Boy is she growing!

We had Emma's 18-month appointment, which was actually a bit more of a 19-month appointment. She is very tall--34 inches, in fact! She has always been in the 95th (or so) percentile for height, and that has continued. Her weight gain was also steady, although she continues to be a beanpole. Earlier that day we had her interview for the preschool which I had determined to be our number one draft pick. It didn't go very well. Incredibly, the 18-month shots seemed to be much less of an ordeal for her. Go figure. Later in the day she was back to her usual congenial self, though!

Spring in January

We had several days in January which felt like April. Except for the ground being a little muddy, it was just fabulous to spend as much time as possible outside for those days!! Emma was in heaven. When she is having great fun sometimes, she loves to squint her eyes and laugh like a crazy person. I'm not sure what that is all about, but in the house she sometimes runs into things. Outside she didn't run into anything, and boy was she having a blast!!!!
