First Chariot Ride Of The Season

Hi Cute Emma Doodle!

Mommy and I took you for a long walk down the street and to the store in your chariot. It was your first chariot ride of the season. You enjoyed the ride. You were playing with toys, talking and making all kinds of happy sounds.

You were leaning forward and touching the front wheel of the chariot. We kept telling you to stop so you didn't hurt your finger. We were threatening to put the shoulder straps on you to keep you from leaning forward. I think we pulled the screen cover down over the front instead.
Here's a picture of you reaching to touch when wheel while we were stopped. Silly girl, you had a mario doll in your mouth like a puppy.

I love you cute little baby!

Driving Your Car In The Driveway

Hi Emma Doodle!

It was a nice summy day, so Mommy and I took you outside. We slid you down your little plastic slide ... you weren't too impressed with it. We pushed you around the driveway on your car. We pushed you around for a while on a car that we had in the garage. You never rode that car before. We bought it last year at a yard sale. It was old and faded. We put you on your own newer car when we realized that the wheels were cracking and breaking on the old car. You already drove and pushed your newer car lots in the house all winter. You sure loved driving your car. We pushed you up and down the driveway over and over. You were talking and smiling lots. You'd get mad when we stopped.

Here's a picture of you pushing yourself around.


You had lots more fun when we pushed you. Here I am pushing you.


This picture shows how much fun you were having when Mommy was pushing you.

I love you pretty baby!

Peeking Around The Corner

Hi Cute Doodle Doo!

You've been climbing around lots. Today, you started climbing up on the telephone table. You sit on the seat, and you even climbed up onto the top. Mommy went out the the kitchen for something. You climbed up on the telephone table and tried to peek around the corner to see her. Here's a cute picture of you.

This morning, we were in the living room looking at sales flyers. You were into everything as usual, and kept grabbing the pile of flyers and throwing them on the floor. I started setting them on top of your head. You thought it was pretty funny.

We went to Summerside for a drive today. We had lunch at Maid Marions. You sure loved gobbling up fries, hash browns, toast and eggs. You got really hyper and squirmy before we left. We couldn't keep you in your chair. Just before we left, you crawled under the table. You were sitting under there with a big smile on your face and giggling.

We went to the farmers market. We bought you a fabric book of nursery rhymes.

It was a nice sunny day so we stopped at a park. It was warm in the sun, but the wind was cold, so we didn't stay long. We took a couple pictures. Here is one of you on a toy car. Its cute, it looks like you and Mommy are driving a small car.

I love you little baby!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Hi Doodle Doo Bopper!

Yesterday was Daddy's birthday!  You got him some yummy chocolate for his present...and some kindersurprises for you both to share.  Of course, we had cake and ice cream...Daddy will post pictures later.  I helped you write a birthday poem for Daddy:

Dear Daddy (Happy Birthday!)

I got a little present - for you and me to share;
I hope that (even though it's small) it shows how much I care.
The chocolate we can eat together, as we both always love to do;
You can make the toy for me and then I'll play with you.

Do you remember last year's birthday?  When I was so much smaller?
Don't worry, you'll forever be my hero, Daddy - even when I'm taller...
I love how you can make me laugh and when you bite my belly and toes;
I giggle and squeal really loud - just so everyone knows.

I might be a bit of a handful now, when I bang on the TV,
And climb up on the fireplace and make ya catch up with me.
But, pretty soon, I'll be even bigger than I am right now,
I'll learn to walk and talk (and listen!), you can show me how.

You sure are the bestest Daddy a little girl could ever get;
And, I hope that you have the happiest birthday you've ever had yet!!!

Love,
Your Doodle Doo Bopper

Stood Up & Walked, My Birthday Cake, Saying Brenna

Hi Cute Doodle Bopper!

Devon was playing with you this evening your bedroom. He was taking pictures of you with a toy camera. You stood up on your own and started walking towards him. You did this two or three times.

You wrote me a really cute poem for my birthday. Mommy helped you :) It is really cute.

We had cake and ice cream for my birthday. You and Mommy helped be blow out the candles on my cake. Well, we trying to get you to help but I think you just wanted to grab the cake.

You sure loved the cake... as you always do.

Here's a picture of you buttering my nose ... actually it was cake icing ... and actually, Brenna put it on my nose ... you were just rubbing it in :)

You are talking lots more now. You say Mama a lot. You say Dada too. You've started saying Brenna's name .... you say something more like "nenna" or "enna". Sometimes you crawl to the top of the stairs and call to her if she's in the basement.

I love you cute baby Emma!

Cousin Jenna, You Stood Up & Walked, Pushed Dolly Stroller, Sat In Dolly Stroller, Scared of Popup Book

Hi Crazy Bopper!

Jenna Says "doodle oodle doodle doo"

I called to wish my sister Christa a happy birthday. I could hear your cousin Jenna in the background saying "doodle oodle doodle doo". Christa told me that when Jenna puts on clothes that are too tight, she takes them off and hands them to Christa and says "doodle oodle doodle doo". She's saying that she wants to pass her smaller clothes on to you. Its pretty cute.

Stood Up On Your Own & Walked

You stood up on your own tonight in the living room. I backed away from you so you took a couple steps towards me.

Pushed Your Dolly Stroller Around

You walked around pushing your dolly's stroller tonight. You sure enjoyed it. Mommy held onto the handles with you to make sure that you didn't fall over. Later I helped you too. I held onto the handles or the side of the stroller while you pushed it from your bedroom to the living room and back. A few times you stopped to and grabbed my hand and pulled it off the stroller. You didn't want me helping. We have to help though because the stroller is very light and you can fall easily while pushing it by yourself. Here's a silly picture of you and your stroller.

Sitting In Dolly Stroller

On the weekend, you wanted to sit in the stroller. Mommy put you in it and I took some pictures. We pushed you around the living room. You silly baby. You are too big for your dolly's stroller. You kept crying to get in the stroller if we took you out. As soon as we'd put you in it, you'd sit quietly and let us push you around. You had a look on your face like you knew you were doing something silly that you weren't supposed to. We'll have to keep you out of the stroller. Its only a toy, its too small for you and it just might break with you in it. Here's a picture of you silly girl.



Scared Of Pop-Up Book

Tonight you had one of your scared screaming outbursts. You are apparantly are scared of a little dinosaur pop-up book. You aren't scared of dinosaurs, but you scream, freak out, flail your arms and try to get away when the pop-up book is opened near you. Its so strange. Its just like you were scared of the sunflower hat that came on one of your dolls for christmas. You pulled it out of your toy box one day, screamed and cried and threw it away from you. You did it one other time. When we were getting pictures taken of you and the other kids at Sears, the photographer put a bouquet of daisys next to you for one of the photos. You screamed and flailed to get away from it. Its the strangest thing.

I love you silly little girl!

Throwing Diapers On Floor

Hi Little Monkey!

You sure are a handful ... you're always getting into everything that you are not supposed to. Lately, when we're playing in your bedroom, you stand up at your dresser, open the cabinet and start pulling all the diapers off the shelf and throwing them on the floor. Here's a picture of you caught in the act.

I love you silly baby!
Daddy
