Two Years Old!

Goodness. Two years old! Dan and I feel so blessed to be Emma's parents. We recognize every single day that she is a gift from God.  She makes us laugh all the time with her questions, antics, and fun imagination.  We love learning more about the world through her eyes now that she can tell us all about it!

We've had fun times this week celebrating her birthday.  Here are some pictures of Emma's past few months.

We've loved our Sea World passes, and since it's just two miles from our house, we'll often pop in for an hour or two.  I now know exactly how many times I can ride each of these spinning rides before I will start to feel sick.

 Dan and Emma racing down the dinosaur slide at an awesome mega park we discovered recently

 She had a cold for a couple of weeks, so I took her to the beach for fresh air and sunshine

After one bout with the ocean waves, she decided that the sand was more her speed!

We celebrated her friend, Cameron's, 1st birthday party. He had a Pocoyo theme for his party, and I think Emma fell a little in love with his giant piñata.  We took her inside to watch Pocoyo cartoons while they beat the candy out of it, because I think she would've been traumatized. 

We also attended the 1st birthday party for twins Alyssa (above) and Mateo (below).  


We've enjoyed some play dates with Emma's oldest friend, Ellie

And joined our friends Jackie and Jemma at Sea World one day

 Emma and Jemma loved watching the fish and turtles swim!

 We met some friends at an outdoor kids' concert hosted by a local library, and Emma loved shaking her shaker eggs to the music


She still reads books every day, and encourages her friends to do the same. Heh!

Too cool!

One of her favorite pastimes is playing in her crib with all her buddies. She loves putting on her hair bows when she's in there, but so far, refuses to wear them anywhere else. 

Today for her birthday, we took her to play at Kid Ventures, an indoor toddler playground.  Dan met us at lunchtime and we took a few pictures with our big girl! 



Happy 2nd birthday, Emma! We love you with all our hearts!!
