Throw Me Something, Mister!!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Don't worry; Emmalina didn't show her chichis to get those beads...The Daddy did ;)

New Ride

My giant baby was too long for her munchkin car seat. So, we went out and bought her a Mercedes...well, the Mercedes of big girl car seats.

Actually, it was a pretty good deal and will grow with her until she is able to sit by herself. A big "thank you" to the Payne's for recommending it.

Today we took the new wheels out for a spin. I think she liked her her new seat. She felt more mature and sophisticated, I am sure.

Since we no longer are using the portable car seat, we also had another new experience. E sat in the shopping cart all by herself at the grocery today!

This girl loves to shop and people watch. She carried around a bag of pepperoni and an Odwalla bar the whole time and was content as can be.

Hey, check out my genius baby! Reading on an 11 month old level already! ;)

Now if we could just get her to crawl...

What I love about Emmalina at 8 months:

1. She is SO ticklish right in the middle of her chest.

2. She rocks at putting her binky back in her mouth...and ours

3. She says "mama" :)

4. She still smiles when she gets kisses

5. She is reaching for us

6. She has a sweet-tooth

7. She sleeps in the weirdest positions

8. She harasses the cat

9. She pants when she gets excited

10. She loves the camera

Happy 8 months, Emily!!

Secret Admirer

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some one (The E!) has a secret admirer!!

Ooo La La!

For me?!

It's from a boy?!

It's from my Daddy! My favoritest boy of all :)

We got all dolled up and The Daddy took his ladies to lunch and then shopping!!

I think E likes this whole Valentine's Day thing. Check out the latest attraction in EmilyLemily Land:

Business Up Front, Party In The Back

My baby has a mullet.

Actually, it is more of a rattail.

Nonetheless, it's henious.

For those of you not familiar with said "rattail", take a minute to educate yourself; I'll wait:

(I know, right?! Tottaly worth the time to read it!!)

She totally is working the Gangsta-Rat.

Admiring the rattail in the mirror.

I don't know what to do. Is it bad? Is she going to be totally embarressed when she is 13 and she finds out? Maybe by then they will back in style and she will be tres chic...

I guess we can always take her here...

mmm...BRAINS!!
