Impressions 5

We took Emma to Lansing's Impression 5 Science Museum yesterday. They have a room specifically for young children and Emma had a GREAT time. They had a whole area where you could splash around in the water, which was a ton of fun.

They also had a neat set of slides, which Emma was a huge fan of.

Things for her to knock over.

And a tunnel for her to crawl through!

(Sorry to everybody who asked if she wanted one of those for Christmas or Chanukah - she didn't like them until very recently, apparently!)

And, finally, we had a bit of quiet time while she practiced her crayon work.

Emma's balloon

Emma sure loves her balloon. She also loves grabbing it when it's up by the ceiling!

Emma's cold?

Mommy thinks we live in Alaska or something. This is what Emma has to wear every time she goes out to walk the dogs. But doesn't she look so cute, especially in the hat and mittens mommy knit for her:

Emma's new skill

Emma learned how to blow kisses from her friend Jack today...

Happy Chanukah!

We went to celebrate Chanukah at Grammy and Papa's house. Emma was more involved this year than she was last year (since she can actually understand what's going on and help out). She helped stack her own presents...

Here she is, surveying her work.

Finally, the fun part: opening!

And, last but not least, making an awful lot of noise with one of her new gifts.

Thank you for the presents, Grammy and Papa!

Emma's Eggs

Emma likes her eggs. I mean she REALLY likes eggs. To the point where she'll happily lick the plate when she gets the chance.



Then she plays around with the plate a bit...



and, finally, the aftermath...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving at Grammy and Papa's house. Here's Emma with her grandparents, hanging out before dinner...


Grammy fed Emma a pre-Thanksgiving dinner feast of ravioli. Emma loves to feed herself nowadays!


Daddy and Emma (he's a little sluggish, since he just woke up from a nap in front of the TV)


And, finally, Emma conked out after eating a little too much turkey for dinner!


Oy, I'm SO full!
