A much needed update!

I have a lot to catch up on so... here we go!

First a video of Emma talking to her Papa on the phone! I could not get this girl to stop jumping!

Last week Emma was really quiet while I was working. I went searching for her and found this. She was sitting reading a book in her chair. She loves this book because it has her favorite animal in it, a duck!

Also, during lunch on the same day, Emma made herself very comfortable at the table. She was hilarious- it was hard for me to tell her to get her feet down.







Ryan and I purchased a new TV for our bedroom. Emma loves playing inside the box.




Nan and Papa came to visit this past weekend. Of course Emma was in HEAVEN with them here visiting and was soooo happy the entire time. Here are Emma and Papa checking out the boats down by the Marinas.






Oh how she loves her Nan and Papa! SWING!

Emma had to carry Nan's purse everywhere we went. She had to hold her arm up to keep it on her shoulder.... she is just too funny!

So we have lived in Corpus for over a year and I have yet to actually see the Selena Memorial up close. So here is Emma next to it for you all to see. I guess I am an official now?

We decided to go and check out the Aquarium for the first time on Saturday. I still can't believe I was depriving Emma all this time. Shame on me! She had a blast!!!! We bought a membership so now we can go anytime we want to. We have already been 3 times this week! :)

Emma and Papa checking out the snails and hermit crabs

Wowsers! Look at that shark!

They have this really cool area below the dolphin tank where you can see the dolphins swim. Emma had a blast under there. Of course one of the dolphins pooped and so Emma spent the rest of the time pointing at the dolphin an saying poop!

We look my parents out for dinner at Mama Mia's in downtown Corpus. They had really good Italian food! Here is Emma chowing down on her spaghetti! SHE LOVED IT.

Nan and Papa reading bedtime stories

On Mondays, Stroller Strides has class outside the Aquarium. I never get to go with work but I took a half day since my mom was in town and we headed to Stroller Strides and then played at the Aquarium. I think I might have killed my mom with the workout but she was a trooper and did pretty well!

Here is Emma holding up her teddy to see the dolphin show!

We then headed to my mom (and my) favorite place to eat here in Corpus, Snoopy's! Love there fried shrimp and oysters! Here are Emma and Nan enjoying lunch outside on the patio. It was a beautiful day!

We were sad that Nan headed home on Wednesday! She was such a help to me with testing and Emma was so happy while she was here. We had our normal busy schedule on Thursday with school, kindermusik, Stroller Strides and bowling. (I bowled a 190 in our first game last night! WOOHOO!)

So today we headed back to the Aquarium for some more fun! Here is Emma checking out the dolphins again...luckily she did not mention "poop" while we were there.

They have a great playground as well. Here is my girl going down the slide. She loves to slide down on her tummy!
We bought Emma a new hat this weekend. She sure does look cute in it! Plus she and Daddy can always have their hats on now!

They have a great discovery room on the 3rd floor of the aquarium, we just found it today! (really someone told me about it!)

Here is a picture of my happy girl showing off the fish she caught! Her exact words were "pink fish"!
