Warm weather and blue hands

I got this for Emery's birthday but couldn't finish putting it together because it was missing the axles. She spent a week dragging it around the house, waiting patiently for the axles to arrive so I could put the wheels on. I think it was worth the wait. She loves it!





Awesome weather = exploring outside






I often hear stories about kids getting into things and painting themselves with markers, etc., and wondered (okay judged) how people could let that happen. Well now I know. Jackson got a stamp set for Easter and wanted to play with it one morning. I emphasized he HAD to keep it on the paper. Then Emery woke up and I went to get her. When I walked back into the room, he was "painting" himself with the stamp pad. And he was so proud. Never trust a 3 year old. Lesson learned (I hope).

She's One! She took 2 wobbly steps today, nods yes, yells mommy when she wants something (usually to get out of her crib), dances to anything resembling music or singing, loves to eat and gets into EVERYTHING!
