Sisters, Sisters...

There were never such devoted sisters...

Just be glad you didn't have to hear me sing the song. Makes

me long for Christmas! Anyway...I have more pics but it will take

a few days to rename them and put them on Shutterfly. Sleep is

more important now!

Extra Credit:

Does everyone know what movie the song above came from?

Easter

Daddy and Emma show off their Easter clothes. Don't they look great?

Mommy and Emma pose outside after church. We're not sure why her thumb had to be in her mouth!

Emma enjoyed her first Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Pearly Whites

Emma likes to show off her new top teeth, but it's hard to capture with the camera. I know the next picture isn't the greatest, but it really shows off those teeth. She's almost ready for filet mignon now!

ESCAPE!!!

This morning I put Emma in her Bumbo in the hallway near the laundry room so I could iron Marcus' shirt. I turned to talk to her and all I see is her little lavender bottom crawling into the kitchen! I thought I must not have put her in there correctly, so I put her back and got my camera just in case she did it again. I continued ironing and talking to Emma when I caught her pushing herself out again! I was able to catch the little Houdini escaping this time. I told Marcus about it and we put her back in the Bumbo and watched her for a good five minutes...she wouldn't move! Guess she didn't want her Daddy to see her doing something naughty. No more putting Emma in the Bumbo on the kitchen island while I cook supper, even though I probably shouldn't have been doing it anyway.

Tell your friends, alert the media! The Bumbo is no longer a safe haven for Emma!

Getting Ready for Sara Grace

Here are some pictures of Sara Grace's room. Yes...we have finally chosen a name and we promise not to change it...unless "she" turns out to be a "he!" This is the border and wall color in Sara's room. You can't tell, but the wall color is a very soft lavender. As soon as all the furniture is in place, I'll post a finished room pic!

Get Your Motor Runnin'

What is a baby to do when her Grandpa rides a Harley and her Grandaddy owns a Honda/Yamaha dealership? Guess Grandaddy will have to be on the lookout for a baby Honda t-shirt!

She's a Tiger of a Baby!

What Are They Looking At?

As everyone knows, Emma is very taken with McDuff. She spends quite a lot of her crawling time trying to follow him around the house. The poor doggy is just trying to get a minute of peace and quiet! Emma has now added "pulling up" to her long list of skills. Sometimes pulling up in her crib and laughing really loud is much more fun than taking the nap that Mama would like her to take. Anyway...yesterday she started pulling up using the glass on the French doors. I caught a picture of these bosom buddies looking out in the backyard. Too cute!

In other Emma news, she is cutting her third tooth! I noticed something white on her top gum while I was changing her diaper this morning. Very exciting.

Gran and Grandma: Pictures have been added to Shutterfly!

We are getting closer to a new baby name. We have pretty much decided that Grace will be her middle name. We'll keep you updated as best we can!

Indiana "Emma" Jones

The New and Improved McDuffer Dog

No, Emma. That's not him!

There he is! Doesn't he look distinguished?

What Emma's Really Been Up To...courtesy of Aunt Beth

Watch out New York! It's Emma Kong!

Emma's been climbing more than just the sides of her crib.

Emma enjoys a little peace and quiet in her boat. Hope that thing doesn't sink!

Thanks to Aunt Beth for searching the world to find out what Emma has really been up to during nap time. She's racking up the frequent flyer miles!

Where in the world is Emma Kolmetz?

More Pics From Gran's House

Grass is very prickly.

I don't think I like this...but those are pretty flowers.
I'm a tropical girl!

And We're Back

Emma and Mommy had a very nice visit last weekend with Gran while Grandaddy was away. We did lots of fun things like napping, scrapbooking and shopping. Gran and Mommy even put a stroller together that didn't fall apart in the middle of the mall. When Grandaddy got back, he taught Emma about the wonderful world of waffles...or as Grandaddy says wauffles. Enjoy the pics!

Guess what Mommy! Grandaddy gave me some of his waffle, but he didn't put any butter or cane syrup on it. It's really good without it!

Why are you feeding yourself waffle? I thought you loved me!

I'll just grab it myself, thank you very much!I am quite satisfied with my breakfast this morning. It's much better than that oatmeal and fresh fruit my parents have been feeding me. I'm ready for the Waffle House!

Stop the Presses!

Don't run out to get anything engraved or monogrammed just yet. We are reconsidering the new baby's name since Anna is so close to Emma. We'll keep you posted!

Big Girl Update

Emma went to her 9 month well baby check-up today.

She weights 20 pounds and is 28 inches tall. She has gained

14 pounds and 8 inches since she was born. She is growing so fast!

The doctor said we can start weaning her off of formula to whole milk

because she herhemoglobin count was great. All that means is that she

is not anemic, which is a good thing. Pretty soon Emma will be getting

all her liquids fromthe sippy cup. Oh goodness! Giving up

those bottles just in time for little sister!

In other big girl news, we have gotten the okay to get

Emma a new car seat! Daddy was so excited that he

is going to go afterwork and pick one up at Toys R Us.

It just so happens that they are having a big sale this

month which includes car seats! Marcus is excited that

she will be able to see where she is going instead of just

where she has been!

In little girl news, Emma's sister now has a first name. Yeah! Keep checking back

to see what we have come up for her middle name.

Anna _____________ Kolmetz

The following suggestions have been submitted. Feel free to add your

suggestion in the comments section!

Anna dePatrick from Daddy

Anna deMax from Great Papa

(They are just jealous of Great Mom, Susan, Rachel and

Emma's middle name of deLaura)

Emma Shows Off

Gran came over to play with Emma while Mommy went to

the doctor. Emma showed off her new skill to Gran, who was

quite impressed!
