L ife has been a whirlwind

It has been ages since our last post and I'm ashamed. I'm sorry things have gotten so frayed. Emma is now 2! I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and it's almost November already! For goodness sakes where does the time go? You know, I didn't even take any pictures of Emma in September?

We're both sitting here right now working on finishing off birthday cake. I looked over at Emma licking her fingers. :)

She has so many more words and phrases added to her vocabulary arsenal, it just amazes me everyday. Some things she says:
"Here ya go mom"
"Where go ball?"
"Mama, milk please."
"Mom, eat, eat, eat please"

oh, it's not a phrase but she now says the word Hippie. I thought that was hilareous.

When asked how old she is, she replies "Two!" and thrusts her index finger out in the air, yes just one finger while saying two. Ha!

She is easing into the potty training thing, or as the new fangeled term goes, "potty learning". She has yet to poo poo on there but every once in a while she pees on it and is getting better about telling me when she goes in her pants. Maybe I'll break out the old cloth diapers and see if that helps us out in our efforts.

I'll post some pictures of Emma's birthday party. She loved her Dora Power Wheels Jeep and she really likes to go out riding in it. She is getting better about driving it but still has moments where she doesn't even hold the steering wheel. She has almost ran Allie over twice. She really enjoyed all of her presents and really has been making the rounds playing with all of them. She also especially likes her Dora kitchen MiMi got her. She has been playing with that and has really started imaginary play. She fixed her a plate and one for me and we both pretended to eat. She gave me a tomato and she ate strawberry pancakes. I guess she thinks I should be eating healthy.

Our bathroom is coming right along, it's almost finished. In fact, the guys are coming today to put on shower doors and hopefully by the end of the week we can take a shower in our new bathroom! We still have some painting to do and by we I mean Travis. Since I can't be around the fumes I'm not allowed to paint. But I can help out in other ways. Travis has been so patient and wonderful with both Emma and myself. We are both blessed to have him in our lives!

Ok, I guess enough talking for now and I'll make a second post for pictures. Although, the way this program works, the pictures will come first and then you'll be reading this. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed them!
