My New Sandbox

Ryan built Emma a sandbox, she loves to dig and play with her toys. She also helped us plant our garden this year.

Petting Zoo & New Keyboard

We visited the children's section of the Brookfield zoo in Chicago, Emma liked petting the goats with Uncle Matt - mommy of course stayed outside the gate.

Kristin bought Emma a keyboard at a rummage sale, this video is the first time Emma got to play with she, she was having so much fun she wouldn't take her coat off.

Reading Tent

Grandma and Grandpa found Emma a reading tent just like daycare. She spent about 30 minutes the first night reading by herself in the tent.

Summer Fun

Emma started swimming lessons this spring, she likes the water more and more each time. She helped Grandpa fill the bird feeder and the final picture: Emma took mommy's sport top out of the laundry and decided it went with her outfit of PJ top and diaper, OH MY!

Dancing Queen

Emma loves to open and close her Valentine's day card that plays the Jackson 5 song ABC, 123
