i wish i could tell emma how getting enough sleep helps her be in a much happier mood which in turn makes me in a happier mood. today was a good day all around. she got 3 naps in today totaling about 4 hours (i hope this trend lasts...but i'm not getting my hope up), and she was just in a good mood all day. usually she's a bit fussy in the late afternoon because she doesn't take long enough naps. we got a bunch of errands done, played, read some books, and she really enjoyed her dinner tonight. she's loving the spoon, and loving shoving her fingers in her mouth mid-eating so that the food proceeds to smear all over her face, hands, and whatever she touches afterwards (notice cereal on face in picture as a result of the aforementioned action).

6 months!

hi everyone! these are just some pictures of me from last week when i turned 6 months. so far, i like being 6 months, though i don't think it feels any different. the one thing i like is being able to eat foods (even though they're all mushed up) and not just drink my mama's milk. i've already tried sweet potatoes and carrots, and i think my mama is going to have me try peas and prunes (i don't know about those prunes...but i guess it will keep me regular). also, my daddy has given me cookies, which i really, really like. i sure hope he keeps giving me those...just don't let mama catch us! i also like being able to sit up and play with things instead of always being on my tummy or my back, although i do like to lift up my butt when i'm on my tummy to see if i can get on my hands and knees. it's a lot of work so i don't like to do it for too long. bye for now!
love,
emma

another year, another cookie day

we had cookie day today at our house (like last year). in attendance this year was gram, aunt corrie, prasti and emma (she mostly taste tested the icing and gnawed on a sugar cookie). we made a lot of cookies...3 batches of chocolate chip, 2 batches of peanut butter and oatmeal raising, 4 batches of sugar cookies, 2 or 3 batches of almond bark, 2 batches of cream cheese cookies...talk about cookie overload!!! we also made some special, personalized sugar cookies for aaron to take to work. apparently it was a hit last year. now, the only thing left to do is eat them all!

we love lefse!

hooray! today we received a special package in the mail. inside, there were 3 packages (1 lb. each...yum, yum) of DELICIOUS lefse. tyler was so excited he wanted to eat some right away. but no...we did not eat any until after dinner. aahhh, it was so good! Freddy's Lefse is the best lefse we've ever had. Thank you ibu and grandpa john for sending it to us.
