Our neighbors house burst into flames. It was cool. We woke to sounds of sirens but daddy had just gotten home and he heard the explosion. We took video from our upstairs window, which is the only place anyone could see the flames without being in them basically. So we are lucky. Here is the video.
Last night my Aunt’s Ariella and Lydia stayed the night. This morning, when daddy came home, i decided to wake everyone up with my giggles. I took my lightsaber and kept hitting daddy with it. He kept getting hurt and it was so funny I couldn’t help but laugh.
Today mommy and daddy went to a wedding so I stayed with Grandma Mitchell. We had lots of fun together, as always. Today was a Daddy day though, I wanted only him if he was around. Sometimes it’s a Mommy day, and sometimes its also a Grandma or Grandpa day. Not today. I miss Daddy when he is sleeping and at night when he works. I love to play with him! He holds onto my legs really tight sometimes, and I’ll fall backwards and he’ll swing me around, it is so much fun! I know he will never drop me because he really loves me and always holds me tight.
Tonight I am having a sleepover at Grandma’s house! They decided to take me for the night so Daddy can get lots of sleep as soon as he gets home from work in the morning since he didn’t get any sleep today and he won’t get much more tomorrow and he has to work. I love my Grandparents so much! They spoil me rotten with lots of love.
Guess what!?!?! I’m officially a walker! Mother’s day was a bit of a spoof, just a suprise for mommy. Now, I’m officially walking. It started with Monday. On Monday, Aunt Becky came to visit! I was so happy to see her! She is so much fun. Mommy said that when Becky comes, I can start walking. So when Grandpa was playing with me, I decided to take a couple steps. Grandma wasn’t around though, so we didn’t say anything. Then yesterday, after my bath. I walked back and forth between Grandma and Grandpa several times till I was too tired to do it anymore. I even got it on video! Also there are pictures of me taking a bath, of my kitty Boba, and a video of me with Boba and a video of me giving kisses. Enjoy!
This last picture is of me after my bath with how curly my hair gets.
Camping was so much fun this weekend! First I’ll tell you about church though. At church on Sunday, all of mommy’s and daddy’s students were really reverent, which was a miracle because they always behave very badly. Then mommy and daddy taught sharing time, so I got to sit it Taryn and Sabrina and Makenna’s laps (they are in mommy and daddy’s valiant 9 class). They play with me and I LOVE the attention. Once church was over I took a good long nap while we drove out to Grandma and Grandpa Stewart’s property to go camping. As soon as we got there I got really excited that I kept smiling and laughing and clapping my hands. I even helped mommy and daddy put up the tent! I also got my own little lawn chair that is just my size! Once the tent was set up and we were all settled in we went up the driveway and met Grandma and Grandpa and also Aunt Areilla and Lydia and Michael and Jaspenelle. Aunt Jaspenelle has a big belly and I can tell I’m gonna have a cousin soon! After meeting them we went back down to the campsite and daddy built a campfire. I was mesmerized! It was so cool to look at! I grinned so big everytime someone put more wood on and it got bigger! I cried everytime the fire started to die down also. Daddy cooked me a turkey dog on the fire and I ate the whole thing! I also got some s’mores and marshmallows. Yum Yum!! I got so tired watching the fire that finally i just fell asleep right in daddy’s lap and the next thing i remember is waking up in the middle of the night wrapped up so much in blankets and sweaters and a sleeping bag i could hardly move and i was still cold. Mommy and Daddy took me up to the house and I went back to sleep cuddled up with them on the floor. After that we played at Grandma and Grandpa Stewart’s house. I was so overwhelmed with everything going on though that I was extremely grouchy. More grouchy than I have EVER been even when I’m sick. After a while mommy and daddy finally took me home. We were going to get my kitten from the store but they closed 30 minutes before we got there. That was ok though, I got to hold and play with a 4 week old kitty that belongs to my Aunt Lydia. My Aunts kept taking the kitten away from his mommy so that he didnt get to eat often enough that he was really malnourished and was dying. Very sad because he is so cute! I even got some pictures of him. Also the other morning I cuddled and played with Padme so I’ll put some of those pictures up and also the video of me camping. Mommy found ANOTHER feature on her phone and realized it can take video up to an hour not just 30 secs, so we can get longer videos now of me being my cutest!
Today mommy went to the orthodontist for a retainer check-up, then we picked up Tabitha and brought her home with us. On the way home we went and picked out my kitten!! He is black and white, and I named him Boba Fett, but I just call him Boba (it sounds a little more like baba right now from me) We will take some pictures of him later as I play with him more. We picked up Tabitha so she could cut Mommy’s hair. It is REALLY short. She calls it an inverted bob. It looks really cute. Anyways, here are the pictures and the video I promised!
These two are pictures of me in my pj’s that grandma stewart took of me.
that was me sleeping on mommy’s bed… or trying to.
Me crying:
These next pictures mommy took of me when i fell asleep while playing, I wasn’t acting tired at all and it was still about 30 minutes before i usually take my first nap. Mommy left for a few minutes and came back and found me asleep in my tunnel toy. She had to take some pictures of course.
I went to the parade Saturday night, we didnt stay for long and lots of people came and stood right in front of where we were sitting so I couldn’t see anything so we just left. People are very rude nowadays.
This is before the parade started when we were sitting down waiting for it to start.
I went swimming yesterday for the first time in my own little pool! Here are some pictures of that.
Here is a picture, and then a video, of me playing with a bucket on my head. I keep putting it on my head, then talking in it and taking it off. It’s lots of fun.

This video is around the same time, I have moved onto eating a shoe. I have a foot fetish at the moment. I love the smell and taste of shoes, socks, and feet.
Here are a couple more cute videos of me taken recently of me playing with the kitty:
This weekend was a big one for me. It started with Saturday morning, I woke up with a bit of a runny nose, so mommy gave me some extra tlc and let me play in her purse. Here’s a picture of the mess I got into.
I went straight for the credit cards.
Then something really exciting happened… I went to my very first parade! It was the annual Jr. Lilac Parade!
I was given a sucker from some girl scouts passing, so daddy let me eat it. I shared a little bit of it with him.
Later that night when I got home I was feeling even more miserable, I had such a runny nose, a fever of 101, and I could hardly breath. Mommy and Daddy gave me a hot bath, some tylenol and humidified me while I slept. The next morning I was still feeling miserable, but it was mothers day so I kept giving mommy great big smiles! She shared some of her toast Daddy and I made for her breakfast in bed with me. We then went to church and then to Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell’s for some extra TLC for me. We were planning on camping but I was too sick so we skipped it. I still feel a little miserable. Here is a picture from me yesterday.
Yesterday, for mothers day, I decided to take my first steps without any help!! Yes, thats right… I’M A WALKER!!!! Daddy starts me walking with me holding him, then he lets go and I take a few more steps before I fall down. It will still be a little bit before I really start going, but I’m getting there.
Here is a picture of me standing all by myself.
And then a funny picture of tissue stuck to my bum!
Lastly a picture of my kitty sleeping:
Today I made another huge accomplishment; I climbed the stairs!!! I climbed almost all the way to the top, but I found the cat food so i stopped. Mommy got video of me, here it is:
emily is bouncing on the couch and enjoying it, she usually giggles but she never seems to giggle when there is a camera nearby
Emily crawls to everything that has anything and pulls things off shelves, out of boxes, off of desks etc. She loves to explore and make messes. Here she is in her bedroom pulling books off her bookshelf one by one, looking at them, then dropping them.
Here emily is sitting in one of her favorite toys and eating one of her favorite foods (puffs) as she is doing this she is falling asleep
