| Winter in early October! |
I still haven't had a chance to do our annual Fall leaves photo shoot, too! :(
Ah well, Emma loves the snow! |

| Catching up with an uncatchable Emma |
It's really been since April since I've updated Emma's webpage? There goes my mama of the year prize...
My bald little baby with a toothless grin has been replaced by a fearless, independent, and amazing little girl who knows what she wants, when she wants it.
For example, she loves pants over dresses -- though occasionally I'll win out and she'll wear one of her dresses in her closet.
These days I'm continually amazed at the words that will pop out of her mouth (along with a few I cringe at -- let the mama-censoring begin!).
She's empathetic and kind, and is fast with her hugs and kisses -- and yet is extremely silly when she emphatically wipes away the kisses you give her.
She's musical, and will sing along with anything on the radio, but has a special affection for the Winnipeg band The Duhks and Ingrid Michaelson's "Be Okay" song.
She loves her baby "MaryAnne" (named after the Leonard Cohen song she sings along to), and oftentimes I'll find random baby dolls and stuffed animals tucked in, complete with covers and kisses, all over the house.
She loves talking to her Diva and Poppa on all her toy phones, and has even started tucking the phone into her shoulder when she talks, just like her mama.
She adores her best friend Jack, along with his little brother "baby Jimmy." Oftentimes she'll run down the list of her daycare friends with me, and never cries when we drop her off -- but the BEST part is picking her up at the end of the day.
I love watching her run up and down the hallways of my work -- she owns that Engineering building, and even now I have a hard time imagining her being old enough to be a student there someday.
She's so silly and giggles more than she tantrums.
She's mama's helper -- even when her "help" really isn't.
Other than brussell sprouts, there's not a veggie she won't eat, and her favorite breakfast is pancakes and eggs.
And that's just a small little glimpse of the amazing person this little girl is. While at times parenting can be exhausting and overwhelming, I would never trade in the experiences I've had with my Emma girl.
Here's hoping it won't be another 6 months before giving the Internets a glimpse of where Emma is at these days! |
