my little miss is snoozing as i type and i am just one content mama. its been a simple weekend full of fun in the (hot) sun, splashing in the pool, a date night, and murphy snuggles. and, miss emma got her FIRST haircut! her long locks were getting a little bit crazy and since she's not really willing to let clips and ponytail holders stay in for more than an hour....she got a little trim!
a little coloring time on saturday morning. she likes to sit with her etch-a-sketch by the window and color as she watches the day get started.
she found it pretty hysterical to start slamming the thing against the window. yea. had to intervene on that one ;)
we have found, time and time again, that it's the inexpensive things....or the things that weren't even intended as toys....that emma likes the best. i found this pink plastic recorder at target for $2 and emma LOVES it. she parades around the house like a little pied piper with a little march in her step.
my parents have been gone for 3 weeks ~ off on a trip to New Zealand and Figi!!! they returned this week and we headed over for a visit and a cookout on Saturday. emma met her new "kiwi"and got re-aquainted with glammy and peepaw.
she was very concerned with putting "poncho", a stuffed monkey i had as a little girl, to sleep. she pulled out a blanket, covered poncho, and rubbed his bum saying "night night poncho!".
i need to get all sappy and emotional for a second, bear with me. i've been working crazy hours in preparation for a hefty maternity leave and leave a lot to be desired in the helpful wife category these days. i'm getting huge and my ability to keep up with my munchkin is quickly dwindling. ryan is just about the most amazing man i could have ever hoped to have in my life. he is working SO hard to finish our renovation and picks up my slack both around the house and with emma with absolutely no question. he puts up with a lot between my exhaustion and fits of hormonally fueled frustration about things as epic as not having clothes that fit over my belly....ha! we are both exhausted as any set of good parents should be....but i'm just so eternally grateful that i get to travel this life with him. honey, i love you.
ok, thanks for hanging with me :) last but not least.....here is emma's new haircut!!! with the help of some pancakes and a plastic eyelash curler as distraction....i trimmed her long crazy locks this morning with what i think is a pretty good result. there are some areas to touch up but i stopped before i got too ahead of myself.
i think she looks like a little mod baby ;) the best part is....the back still flips and curls. oh how i love my little girl!
i hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
