School Picture 2012

Sources tell me there was some snack time bribery involved in this smile.  Cute!  Well done, Noah.

Emma's Growing Some Teeth

That's what Noah has to say about the first tooth popping up in the front left side of Emma's mouth.  Funny that I just made the comment a week ago... will she really turn one with no teeth?  On Saturday, I put my finger in her mouth probably with the intention of scooping out some inedible object that she had picked up off the floor, and I felt it.  A little bitty tooth poking out of her sweet baby gums. 

I couldn't get a picture.  I tried to put my hand into her mouth, but she clamped down hoping I was feeding her something yummy.  This kid can eat.  Just think of all the yummies you'll be able to eat with all those pearly whites, baby girl.  The "growing teeth" haven't seemed to bother her much.  Still as happy and sweet as usual.

Emma Lou and Harry Hoo

Gym day for Emma, and today we had a friend with us.

Hi Harry!

Watch out below Baby Em.

Good sharing little friends.

Time to clean up.

These tunnels are tough stuff.

Pushing the air log.  Picture snapped before our crew fell out.

Emma loves her some Gymbo.  What a fun class with our friends!

Kitchen Duty

This little one requires constant supervision, and if my camera hadn't been on the counter right above the dish washer no record would be had of the event.  This little one is a hand full. 

Field Trip - Splash Pad

The school year is coming to an end, and just like last year, a field trip was scheduled at the splash park.  Noah was super excited this morning when I found out it was field trip day.  I knew he would have fun running around the water, but I wasn't sure how long it would be before he came to me and said, "I'm soaking wet.  Want to get dressed."

Ready to splash.

Dodging the spray.

I was trying to encourage him to run through the spray, but he was a little reluctant to go headfirst through. 

Formulating a plan.

Light bulb on.

He crawled under it multiple times.  It was so cute!

He had so much fun and surprised me by playing over an hour and a half in the water.  Eventually, he came to me and said, "Mom, we need clothes."

Dressed and ready for the park.  What a fun morning!
