Emme's Birthday- 1 & 2!!

 

(This is just a funny picture of Alex getting a massage at a fundraiser we went to. )

 Emme turned 2- last year. And, since i never blogged about it, I thought I would put a few pictures on here before I put pictures of this year. 

Yeah! Here she is last year- we had doughnuts instead of cake. Yumm! 

She was a verry good talker at 2 and I remember that she would make up her own knock-knock jokes. They went like this- Knock-Knock.

Who's there?

(Here she would name a family member.)

Family-member who?

Happy now me! (And she would hug herself.)

Or sometimes it would be food and she would say, "Eat me." She made them up all on her own, which I thought was quite impressive.

 Pictures I took of her the next day.

 And here we are to this year! My, how time flies! 

Dora cake, by request. Since I couldn't find any Dora cake toppers, I just put toys on there.

 She got- Play-doh ice cream set, a Strawberry Shortcake dress-up dress...

 play food...

 (This is the present that Alex made for himself. He labeled it - To Alex, From Emme. It was a picture of a mask he wants in a Ziploc bag.)

 ... Cutie dress from Grandma and Grandpa Doc, coloring book and outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Campbell, Merida doll from Josh, Princess accessories, and a new pillowcase that she wasn't interested in until she went to bed, and then it was veryyy important.

 Here are some pics I took of her today wearing her new dress from Grandma. Oh, and a sneak peek at her new bedroom, which really should have been her present!

 I might as well do one before and after from her room. Here is her chair that I recovered all by myself! (With lots of prayer and Danny's help taking it apart.)

 This is what it looked like before- it was sooo dirty and so old that the denim was almost white on the arms.

 A side shot...

 Emme snuggling on her rug while I take pictures...

 And Emme demonstrating just how wonderful her new chair really is. 

The girls use it all the time and I can't wait to show you the rest of the room!

Thoughts about Emme-

She is soo cute and very smart. She loves to snuggle and read books. She can be kind of stubborn at times and doesn't always do what she is told, but mostly she is a dream. She is sweet and when you have her by yourself without anyone else bugging her, she is perfect. I asked her some of her favorite things today and her is what they are-

Food- marshmallows

Song- Wheels on the Bus

Color- purple

Friends- Hunter and Josh

Movie- Dora

Thing to do- watch Dora

Thing to play- Dora play-doh (which she doesn't have, but she does like play-doh a lot. )

She also loves to pretend and looves babies and dolls and her toy food and playing like she is the music leader in nursery, which is my calling. We love having our Emme and can't imagine our life without her!!
