Emily came out of our bedroom the other day wearing Ken's Jackaroo hat. She showed herself to us and then said "I'm gonna go ride my horsie" - which gave me just enough time to grab the camera!
Bathing Beauty
Emily Phelps
She has a new purple swimsuit now, with floatie panels in the front and the back.
Between that and the arm floaties, she can swim on her own now
with no help from Mama or Daddy!
Home At Last
Here are the first pictures of our new apartment in North Portland. I know most people don't care much about the apartment itself - you all are just waiting for pictures of our beautiful girlie. So, without further ado, here is Emily in her new home on the Columbia River.
Ok, so Emily's not in this picture...we're getting there.
Emily's 3rd Arts Festival
We took Emily to the Lubbock Arts Festival on Saturday, and she had a great time! She didn't even object (much) to being in her stroller the whole time. She got very excited about the model trains. She kept saying "chugga-chugga choo-choo!" (That's the picture in the top left.) She looked at lots of pictures, and listened to music. She even got out of the stroller and danced while the band was playing, and after every song was over, she clapped her hands and shouted "Hooray! We did it!"
Pretty Flower
Our rosebush in the backyard is taking off again. When we went outside to play, it had just one red rose on it. Emily learned how to smell the flower, and how to be careful of the thorns.
Wanna Color?
So we're going to the grocery store after picking Emily up from "school" - and when I opened her door to get her out of her seat, I found that she'd been amusing herself with a pen along the way!
This is nothing, actually - you should see her baby!
