EMRY TURNS TWO!!!!

Our sweet Emry is TWO today! We simply just adore her...she has SO much personality! She shows us daily just how much personality she has, ranging from down right melt your heart sweetness to pull-your hair out orneriness!

We just love that she now gives smooches...when we asked before she would simply screech "NUH-UH!"

The "NUH-UH" that she would respond to everything with, has now been replaced with an emphatic "NO!" I thought it was simply adorable to hear her sweet voice, that I would ask her silly questions just to hear her say "NO." I am now ready for her to move on to new words. She has completely mastered the word, "Mine"....she sounds just like the seagulls from Finding Nemo...she won't stop saying it until someone finally acknowledges that, yes indeed, whatever she is talking about is hers.















What better way than to start your birthday than with a plate full of "Bawoon, bawoon, bawoon....mine....mine...mine!"













It was hard to convince her that she needed to eat real food for breakfast.















The birthday girl got to choose what she wanted for breakfast. She thoroughly enjoyed the power that was given to her. After five minutes of telling me "that one...no, that one...yes, that one....no, that one" (you get the idea) She finally made a decision.















"Wow, mine" is all Emry could say when she opened her presents.

Two of my favorite things about Emry -

Our bedtime ritual....she has to have her two babies tucked into bed with her and besides her regular bedding, she has to have two of Jack's old blankets, Eden's old blanket and one of her blankets wrapped snug around herself and her babies. She then tells me to kiss her and her babies and points out the door for me to leave.

Our morning ritual - Emry brings in her two babies and four blankets and enthusiastically exclaims, "MINE," and then demands that we snuggle!

Emry was so THRILLED to get her own watering can for her birthday. Whenever we pull into the garage Emry shrieks, "Mom's, Mom's, MOM's" and will only stop once someone says, "Yes, that is mom's watering can."

So what did the birthday girl really really really want to do to celebrate her birthday? She wanted to get in the big tub with the big kids and try out a sweet pair of goggles.

Since it was her birthday....why not? She didn't enjoy the tub at all....but LOVED LOVED LOVED the goggles! And who wouldn't looking that stylin' in them?

We are so happy that we have our Emry. She brings alot of excitement into our house. (Eden would rather me say alot of crying into our house, which is true...but I believe that crying is definitely a form of excitement.) We LOVE LOVE LOVE Emry!
