Night, Night Elmo

Fun with Legos

Daddy had fun showing Emma how to build houses out of Legos, and Emma had fun demolishing them!

Bucket Seat

Emma couldn't resist sitting in the lego bucket. Seemed like a good idea to her, until she couldn't get out (she just needed a little help :-)

Winnie the Pooh Phone

Emma's having fun talking to the characters on her new Winnie the Pooh phone.

Santa Village

Emma plays with her Christmas village and train one more time before Mommy packs it up. It helped her learn about Santa, reindeer and elves. She especially liked the train and had fun driving it on Daddy!

Emma at 18 Months

Emma turned 18 months today! She is an expert on identifying animals, and when she's not lounging in her new chair, is having fun learning about numbers and colors. She can now identify almost every number from 1-10 and can count from 1-5! She also loves to dance and sing songs, especially Frosty the Snowman. :) We are so proud of her!

Mommy's Birthday

Mommy had fun celebrating her birthday with Emma & Daddy. Emma did a great job helping open her gift!

Playing Around

Go Illini

Emma had fun cheering on the Illini at the United Center. She especially liked clapping with the audience.

Hippity Hop

More happy hippity hopping on her bunny...

Mickery Dickery Dock

Emma loves to play Hickery Dickery Dock (a.k.a. Mickery Dickery Dock) on her clock and dance with Mickey.

Mickey Ears

Emma loves to dress her stuffed animals up as her favorite character - Mickey Mouse. They all take turns wearing Mickey ears!

Night Night, Emma
