Baking and Coloring

Emily in a pretty new dress
When I put this dress on her Sunday morning she started screaming and crying because she didn't like it, but when I gave her the option of which dress she wanted, she chose this one. She is definitely a girl!
Emily helped me make cookies!
The white below her eyebrow is flour

Playing with play dough

Yesterday Emily woke up from her nap wanting to make brownies and since we didn't have any other plans I said OK. She was a good little helper too, she helped stir the flour mixture and she watched as the eggs disappeared into the mixture. Then she enjoyed licking the beater and the spatula when we were all done.

She was trying to wash the chocolate off her fingers

Messy little face!

Emily holds colored pencils, crayons and pens like an adult does and she is barely 2 years old. I decided to take some pictures so I would have some evidence that it is really true!

Emily told me that this is a "Moo"
That means it's either a cow or a horse.

This is the other way she holds a pen. This one has only one finger on top instead of two. All of her drawings (or lines) are very deliberate and she concentrates really hard while she is coloring. I wonder if she is going to be artistic...

Dunking the Basketball!

Emily loves to play Basketball with J.R. and I. We have started lowering the hoop to the very lowest it can go and then we help her dunk the ball. She loves it!

Emily and Daddy relaxing together on a Saturday morning

Emily coloring on her little easel. Grandma and Bapa Fryer got it for her for Christmas and she LOVES it!

We found this little princess basketball in the clearance section at Wal Mart for $5 and she loves it. Whenever J.R. gets home she says "I wanna play basketball. Lets get the princess basketball." I used to play with it when Emily was done but she has become quite protective of her ball and now she doesn't want me to play with it.

That little easel came with markers and she has just recently started coloring on herself with them. Hopefully she will do better in the future. At least they are dry erase markers that come off easily with soap and water.

The other side of her face

Emily trying to drink both her milk and her juice at the same time!
She saw this picture as I was loading it onto the blog and she started laughing and said "Silly Emily!"

A pretty dress for a pretty girl



Using her bike as a stool. Good thing it was pushed against the fridge.
