BLOGGING FOOL

Yeah, I FINALLY learned how to insert pictures!! Don't know what I was doing wrong, but now we have pics!! Now I am going to join Bloggy land and post more often. Check out my post below....with pictures!!

PONY RIDE




Emily loves horses. Horse is one of her newest signs. There is a horse across the road from Granny and Papa's, and because dog was the first animal she learned every animal has been a dog. Now she knows how to sign horse, and she is so proud!!! We went to a birthday party Sat. and there was a pony there. Her eyes lit up and she began signing horse. She loved to pet the pony, feed it sugar cubes, and sit on it and tell it to go. The owner of the pony would not let her ride, he was afraid she would fall off. But she got to sit on it, and touch it so she didn't care at all.

THE HUNT


Sorry picture is sideways - still learning how to post pics!!





Emily really enjoyed her first Easter Egg hunt. She is at the stage where she is constantly moving things from one container to another, so an egg hunt was right up her ally.

FOUR MONTHS WITH EMILY

Hi - Yes, we are still alive - and doing very well, I might add!!
I know, it has been a while, still not quite sure if I am going to continue to blog - but will post again I guess.

Hard to beleive that we have now been home with Emily for almost 4 months. Part of me feels like it hasn't been that long and another part of me feels like we have had her forever. Part of me misses working and daily interacting with people, but I really do enjoy being a stay at home Mom. I can't imagine having her in daycare.

Emily is doing great. She is growing like a weed!! She is now almost 15 months old. She no longer looks like a baby. She has 3 teeth and is about to cut the 4th, and her hair is growing. She is so smart!! She loves to learn new things. She talks up a storm. Ok, she doesn't really talk, she says a lot of words. She loves sign language. We average about 3 new words a day, and about 3 new signs a week. Her favorite things are dogs, babies, and books.

Now that spring is almost here, and she is getting older, we will start getting out more. We are looking forward to trips to the zoo, the park, and just plain playing outside.

I still haven't gotten our China trip photos sorted and posted, but still plan on doing that. I am planning on updating my other website with pictures in the near future as well.

Happy Spring!!!
