Everything Emma: Fall Photo Session

Fall Photo Session

These are a few of the beautiful photos taken by my good friend (and photographer) Sarah Millander during our fall photo session earlier this week. The photos were taken especially for my husband, Issac, who is currently serving in Afghanistan and is unable to celebrate all of the wonderful fall festivities with us. We love you and miss you and though these pictures are beautiful they are missing just one thing- YOU!

Our beautiful daughter exploring the grass beneath her.

Sitting up on a bench like a big girl.

Sarah took several of my by myself especially for Issac. He of course loved them.

Playing airplane with Mommy. Emma's absolute favorite game.

Laughing at a dog that was passing by.

I am so in love with my precious little girl and am sure of the fact that I was put onto this earth to be a wife and a mother. I live and breathe for my husband and daughter.

Examining the grass with Emma.

My BIG girl can stand up all by herself as long as she has something to hold onto and a nervous Mommy standing close by just in case she loses her balance.

As you can see from the white dribble coming from Emma's mouth, she spit up just as Sarah took the photo. Sarah and I found this to be hilarious and decided that keeping this photo was an absolute must.

Practicing a few of our exercises from The Little Gym.

Staying home with my precious girl has really allowed for her and I to develop a beautiful and incredibly strong bond. Without Issac, none of this would be possible. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful, caring, supportive spouse and husband.

I loved taking these pictures, and I can't wait to take more. Some xmas pictures would be great as well for isaac. I hope one day I can take a picture of all 3 of you. I am praying for isaac and send him my love.

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.
