Happy TWO Months Emma

Happy *TWO* months to the most precious little girl I have ever met! Two months ago I don't think I could have ever imagined loving someone so much. Though Issac and I are beyond the point of exhaustion 99% of the time, this has been the most amazing experience of our lives and has brought us so much closer as a family. I cannot begin to explain how much I love waking up, walking into Emma's room, and peeking into her crib to be greeted by that goofy toothless grin every morning. It completely melts my heart and makes me happy to be up at 6:00 in the morning even on days when I have only had about four hours of broken sleep. I love being a stay at home Mom and am so thankful to have the opportunity to do so. I cannot imagine missing out on all of Emma's important milestones... First smile, giggle, step, word, etc... It would break my heart. As I look at Emma today, it amazes me how much she has already changed in such a short period of time. She has gone from this tiny 7lb 10oz newborn to a 12lb baby who has a personality and a mind of her own. She has truly enriched our lives more than I could have ever imagined and I am so exited to share "Everything Emma" with anyone who is interested.
Happy two months

baby girl! Mommy and Daddy love you more than words could ever describe and are so thankful to have you in our lives!

What Emma is Doing

All of her colors.

All of her letters.

All basic shapes and even a handful of more advanced one.

Can name all of her body parts.

Knows the days of the week and can even tell you which activities she has on which days.

She has been doing chores and has been responsible for cleaning her playroom and bedroom for about a year. In recent months she has gotten to a point where she will often begin her cleaning for the day without me having to ask or monitor her while she does it.

Can re-tell many of the stories from the Bible and can tell you all about Jesus.

Knows how to spell her name.

Learning how to write her letters- we haven't really started working on writing number yet.

Learning some basic addition.

Learning about money and the value of different coins. This ties in well with teaching her addition because she is learning simple things like 5 pennies= 1 nickle.

Still a very healthy little eater and typically has no aversion to eating her veggies. She does prefer eating them raw and loves going to my favorite salad spot for lunch after morning gymnastics.

Loves listening to music and enjoys playing piano and guitar with Daddy. We have the keys on our piano labeled so for about the past year she has been learning the notes.

Loves her "Best friend pup" and sleeps with him every night.

Very good at drawing and has taught herself to draw so many things that I did not think a three year old could even draw.

Going to gymnastics three days a week- she can do front rolls, tuck jumps, straddle jumps, and pikes all by herself and is even walking backwards on the beam, doing small jumps on the beam, and doing simple flips on the bars. She is currently working on cartwheels and simple back walkovers using the mat that is shaped like a block.

Fully potty trained- praise the Lord for that one!

Knows all about different types of food and can tell you which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy.
