Baby Shower

Today we went to a baby shower for our friends' new baby boy, Judah. EM was very excited to see him and said 'baby'. She also made a little friend who is almost the same age as her.

Blueberry picking

Yesterday we spent the afternoon picking blueberries. Our friends gave us this great idea and told us that their toddler loved it. EM loved it as well and ate tons of blueberries. Next time we'll have to go even sooner in the season.

Mmm, blueberries!

EM was picking and eating them right off the bush.

We also took EM to see the duck pond near our house this week.

Snuggles for Grandpa..

Grandpa Rob popped in before his golf game and was given some nice snuggles and a good luck kiss from his granddaughter.

Captain Kids

On one of the hot days last week, we took EM to a place called 'Captain Kids'. She loved it there! There was a slide for her to go down, jumbo blocks, and all kinds of things to climb up. On our way out of the facility we decided to show her the ice rink.

EM continues to love to play dress-up. She loves to walk around in her pink crocs. She can put them on all by herself, but not always on the right feet.

Last days as a family of 3??

These days we've been staying pretty close to home as we await the arrival of EM"s baby sibling. We're all set including the double stroller with an empty spot for the littlest one. Slowly but surely we're getting to know all of the local parks.

Gym Pictures

Outside the gym is a little fish pond or as EM likes to call it a "Fi" pond.

That's a long way up for our little 29 incher.

Gym Time

This week we discovered that EM loves to play in our townhouse complex gym area. She was trying hard to copy daddy's basketball moves and found it hysterical when mommy was dribbling the ball around.

First Computer

On Friday we took in some of EM's old toys to Toy Traders. We traded in one of her walkers for a little kids computer. She always loves playing with our keyboard and mouse so we got her one of her own. It's for bigger kids but she like pushing the buttons and playing with the mouse.

Little Buddies

Our good friends met us up at Buntzen Lake on Friday night. EM and JL hit it off as usual and kept each other entertained. EM was so happy to be at the lake with JL that she gave him a kiss.

Are you ticklish?

Mrs. Dressup

Lately EM gets quite a kick out of herself when she's "in costume". She loves to wear her sunglasses, her hat, her towel, her rings around her arms and shoes (sometimes with socks overtop).

Pretty Girl...

in a pretty dress! Thanks Auntie Morgan!

Hysterical!

Sometimes we aren't too sure why EM finds things so funny. Here she is laughing at cranberries bouncing around in a bowl. She thought it was especially funny when one would fall out.

Sleepy!

Just this past week EM has gone from taking 2 naps a day to taking just 1. It has taken a little getting used to. Here she is trying to get through lunch with her eyes open.

A Real Cup!

EM has been learning how to drink from a real cup. She often gets distracted by the princesses on her cup and says hi to them.

Happy Girl...

EM loves to knock over her blocks after Daddy stacks them up for her.

EM also loves to sit on the 'big couch'. When she gets up there she gets a big grin on her face!

Bathtime with Grandma Jo-Ann.

A Night Away...

Grandma Jo-Ann came to town for a few days at the end of the week. We decided to take the opportunity to have a night away before baby number 2 comes. EM and Grandma Jo-Ann had a great time together and EM did very well for her first night of separation from Mommy (Mommy and Daddy did OK too). It was so nice and relaxing and we even got to sleep in until 7:30! Since when does this count as sleeping in??

Great Grandpa's..

We also had a nice visit at Great Grandpa's house. Grandma She-She came and met us there too. EM was very happy to see them both. Great Grandpa was impressed to see EM walk right over to him in his chair. She is much more mobile than last time she visited!

EM's Week of Visits...

EM was very happy to spend some time at her grandpa's earlier this week. He made us a pasta dinner and EM loved it! She also showed off her walking to her grandpa.

Anniversary

To celebrate our anniversary we went for dinner in White Rock. EM enjoyed colouring for the first time... or at least she enjoyed eating the crayons.
