Thanksgiving 2009

I'll start with some random pictures and move on to Thanksgiving at the end.

I guess all kids go through a stage where they are fascinated with adults' shoes, and Emily hit that stage big time. She looks for our shoes, puts them on, even tries to lace them up (to no avail), and starts walking around. We have to watch her because she can lose her balance easily, but she seems to think she's got the whole thing figured out.

Em loves cars! She makes the car sound any time you ask her, and is beyond thrilled when we let her "drive".

Mommy, catch!

This chameleon lizard has been hanging around the house...when Emily first saw him, she was a little apprehensive (which is understandable, I mean the guy is green one minute, brown the next) but then thought he was cute, walked up to him, said, "hi", and tried to get his attention. So I took a picture of the little guy - I have to say he WAS cute!

Daddy's little helper.

No worries, there was no DP in the can, I had just finished it, but she wanted to "pretend sip" through the straw.

Emily playing with her animal puzzle that makes animal noises when you put them in correctly.

Thanksgiving Day - out the door on her way to Granmom and Grandad's.

Granmom and Emily enjoying the nice weather in the porch swing.

Let's go!

Aunt Rebecca brought Emily an early Christmas present....and let her tear into the wrapping paper - yay!

What is it?

It's Emily's very own Nativity Set with plastic soft toys that she can set up, move around, throw, and take with her anywhere she goes, without any fears of braking them. The toys are SO cute....she's been playing with it every night since Thanksgiving.
