Spring is Here!




We went to the Flower and Patio show a few weeks ago to get some ideas for our yard. I think we mostly focused our attention on Emerson...how could we not!

P.S. I have no idea why my pictures are so small. If anyone knows what I did wrong, please let me know.

Update: I reposted the pictures from my desktop, and it seems to have worked. My old laptop must have been the problem.

Growing Up So Fast



I haven't had much time to blog lately, so I'm sure Em has conquered many milestones over the last several months that I have forgotten to mention. She is becoming such a cute, smart little girl. It seems like each day she adds words to her vocabulary and she gets excited when we let her know how smart she is.

We are also going to start potty training. Em has been fascinated with poop for some time now, and she is growing interested in the toilet. We learned some tricks from a daycare we recently visited so we are going to try them out. This morning and tonight before bed, I asked Emerson if she wanted to pee on the potty, and both times she went to the toilet and lifted the seat. I pulled off her diaper and sat her on the toilet....not realizing that she has a little butt...much unlike her mom. Anyway, we are going to buy a little girl potty and slowly get her interested in using it. It could still take months to get her potty trained, but since she seems interested we are going to take advantage of it...just think of all the dollars we could save on not buying diapers!
