Where have we been?

So I have been really bad about posting. Probably because I have been lazy about uploading all of our photos onto our computer from the camera. There are a ton of cute ones from Easter - I promise I'll get to them!

But in the meantime, here is what's been going on in our world lately - pictures all taken with my iPhone.

Emma has discovered a new fondness for Cheerios with milk. The girl loves her "eggies & toast" but in an effort to broaden her horizons I decided to try some cereal with milk. I was fully expecting her to tell me "I no yike it Mommy" but was wrong. She loved it and thought she was such a big shot eating just like Daddy.

My little girl also recently discovered chocolate. Never having much of a sweet tooth and often prefering a cup of frozen peas over a bowl of Teddy Grahams I was surprised when Emma asked for a cookie one night while watching Yo Gabba Gabba before bed. Of course she licks all the cream from the center and feeds the rest to Max, but how do you resist a "Mommy cookie, please," complete with a head tilt to the side.

The Easter bunny also put chocolate covered raisins in some of the Easter Eggs - those were definitely a hit as well! Does the fact that they are raisins count as a serving of fruit?

Duane scored some free tickets to Sesame Street Live. Not only were they really great seats but the show was super cute. And Emma had a great time. She spent the bulk of the time perched in my lap between her Daddy & "Gaa" - but during the second act she stood and danced to the music. Elmo is by far her all time favorite but she loves Zoe and Grover too. She has even started asking to watch Elmo on TV a bit which is a welcome change from YGG. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Foofa but I am pretty sure I have seen every episode at least 10 times. Looking foward to the new season on Nick Jr.

We went out to dinner where I had my first Blue Moon on draft of the season. It was delicious. And Emma was on her best behavior - coloring us pictures, flirting with a little boy at a nearby table, and eating all of her Mac 'n' Cheese & oranges.

Peek a Boo has become another favorite. I think it's hilarious when she hides her eyes and really thinks she has disappeared. I also taught her to play Ring Around the Rosie. When Emma sings it it's more like "Ying Around the Yosies....Asses, asses, all fall down!" Cracks me up everytime. (Almost as much as when Emma says clock. She has a huge fascination with clocks so anytime she sees one she shrieks "clock!" only she doesn't quite get out the "L".)

Now that the weather has finally warmed up, the trees and flowers are starting to bloom and Emma's toys have been retrieved from the attic. Which of course means more pictures to come.

Happy Thursday!
