My New Best Friend Alli

Emma discovered today that Alli is her new best friend, because she's hilarious!

Beauty and the Beast

Emma spent part of her evening exploring the vast world of her bedroom while I read a portion of Beauty and the Beast to her.

Books, Bathtime, and Cameras

Emma loves bathtime and cameras.  She loves having her picture taken, and she loves it even more when she can look at pictures and videos of herself.  She had a very long bath tonight - she splished and spashed to her heart's content, sending water in every direction and creating tidal waves in her tub.  I finally had to take her out of the bath because the water was getting cold.  She's going to be a real water baby!

Daddy gave me crazy hair after bathtime! 

Books are another one of Emma's passions in life.  She loves exploring all of the book shelves we have scattered throughout the house.  Right now, she mostly likes chewing on the paper and looking at pictures, but someday we might have a bookworm on our hands.

Look Mom, I'm tending the Maas family library!

Just Another Saturday

What's that you say?

Mirror, Mirror, on the Floor...who's the cutest of them all?

You're way up there, and I'm way down here!

Some Old and Some New

Emma received many new gifts over the holiday season.  Her two favorites include her new fluffy rug for her bedroom and her four-wheel, magical princess motor car that she inherited from Ava and Alton.  It looks as though we just needed some carpet to get Emma moving.  Unfortunately, Alli also loves the carpet and has tried many times to stink it up.  Thank goodness for the gates we have installed on both stairs!

What is this stuff?  It is so soft!

I'm a Crawler

Emma has recently learned how to prop herself up on her hands and knees.  But after attaining such an amazing skill, where to go from there?  Even Emma does not know.

I promise that we have in no way "taught" her to do this - its completely spontaneous.

Go Pack Go!

Daddy has officially initiated Emma into the clan of Packer fans this weekend.  Emma got dressed in her Packer cheerleader outfit to listen in on the game.  Although Emma is not allowed to watch TV, she did play on the floor and created some hand clapping cheers while Daddy watched the game on his computer. 

And a 1, a 1, a 1, 2, 3, 4...Yea Packers!
