Halloween 2009

Picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch near the house.

Feed the goat, feed myself!

We know that guy! He gives candy and kisses! Our little Rockstar made quite a haul! Mommy really likes that for her chocolate cravings these days...
A little post trick-or-treat streaking never hurt anyone!

Surprise!

Baby LeJeune, due May 23! Until we found out what it is, he/she shall be called Coconut!

Randomness

I was trying to get Emily to say "I love you," but all she saw was the camera and she was expecting to see a flash if she kept saying Cheese!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!


took out her pigtails and this is what we got!

now THAT is asleep!

Hawaii 2009

Been having trouble downloading pics lately. Here are the highlights of our 9-day trip to Hawaii. We had a great time and made memories for a lifetime.

Our place

This view was about 300 feet from our front door. Amazing.

when are we going to be the beach?

Ok, I have clothes on, can we go NOW???

Sunscreen+Hair= Beautiful!

Chillin on the beach

These are 2 of my favorites

Oh, there was much more sand in those nooks and crannies

July 2009

Not too much going on these days, but here are some random pics from around the house

Did you know the Michelin Man had a daughter?

First snowball!

Pretty girl

What is she into now?

Oh. Just the cedar robe!

15 months old!

15 months old! We can hardly believe it ourselves. Current stats: almost 22lbs (31st percentile), 29.5 inches tall (21st percentile), head circumference is in the 90th percentile (so smart!). Because we use this blog as Emily's baby book, I'm going to list some of the fun things Em says and does that we love:

• Says "Hello" all the time, especially when she rings the doorbell on her playhouse or when she's laying in her crib first thing in the morning (cough, cough..."helloooo.")


• Waves and says "bye!" as soon as we pick her up at daycare.


• Carries, ta-ta's and feeds her baby dolls


• Eats all foods, including veggies, fruits and meats (I'd definitely making note of that, since I know it won't last!)


• Loves to climb on and behind our sofa cushions


• Loves riding in the jogging stroller with Mom


• She can run, jump and climb on or around just about anything, including the sofa and chairs, the hope chest, and the footstool in the pantry.
• We love hear her saying dub-pa-dub-pa-dub.
• She whispers, "Bob-boooo" in the morning when she wants her bottle.
• She loves giving kisses, especially giant wet kisses, leading with her tongue...slurp!
• She loves classic episodes of Sesame Street we watch on YouTube, especially Grover and Cookie Monster, but is deathly afraid of her Cookie Monster doll.
• Puts her face in the water and blows bubbles
• Loves looking at pictures of herself, saying, "Hey Baby!"
• Funny, her pediatrician says she should only know 5-10 words by now. She can say: duck, mommy, daddy, baby, hello, bunny, water, bubble, Memmy (for Emily), Drew, Hi, cow, moo, baa, no. She has also said her first cuss word: rhymes with spit. Thankfully, she's only said it twice :)
