Uniquely Emily

Posted in A Day in the Life

Yes, I know I put the spotlight on Emily just a few posts ago, but I have to do it again today. Emily has some very unique habits that besides making her a joy to have around, I also do not want to forget. So I will immortalize them here:

*When she nurses, or has her pacifier in her mouth, she sticks her tongue out. I don't know how she does it - have you ever tried to drink something with your tongue sticking out? It's not easy!

*When she is sitting at the table, she spends a lot of time playing peek-a-boo around the centerpiece with Papa. SO cute!

* When she eats, she sticks her whole fist in her mouth
.

* She could drink from a sport-top water bottle, before she learned to drink from a sippy-cup (she's never had a bottle).

* Until recently, she spent the past few months walking around on her knees - even out on the sidewalk! The tops of her feet were bruised because she used them to balance, but neither that nor sore knees ever seemed to bother her. In the past week or so, she has taken up real walking though! Yeah, Emily!

*She loves toothbrushes. I think she has better hygiene than Ezekiel ;)


Yeah, she's standing in the laundry cart, but what kid wouldn't enjoy that? My big kids are always trying to climb in too....

So cute. I know you'd probably destroy the laundry bags (and frame) if all the kids got into the bags at once for a photo. But boy, it would be cute...especially if they were covered in mud!

Maybe you could pull it off by putting stools under the bags to support their weight.

Jun. 9, 2009 - More than a diaper

Posted by nexis777


She must not have been eating recently... she's wearing more than a diaper :D

Too cute!!

And I REALLY wanna see pictures of her sticking her tongue out while drinking. Preferably with the pacifier and not while nursing though.

Just sayin.

So cute! My youngest always loved riding in the laundry cart!

I've been catching up on your blog. Loved the pictures from Germany. What a wonderful adventure for your children, and the best way to learn! You make me miss Germany though. We were Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Rottenberg and Munich before we had kids. I also remember being amazed at how small the beds and doorways were.

Congratulations on your binky free boy!

The Pocahontas costumes look great from here!

You always do pregnancy so well! You look beautiful!

Sorry to play catch up in one comment! It was great to hear from you!

Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
