Happy 2nd Birthday to our Sweet Emma Grace!

It's hard to believe it's been two years since our little angel entered the world.  It's impossible to imagine life without her.  What a joy it's been to watch her grow into such a smart, loving and vivacious little girl.

At Emma's 2 year check-up with the doctor, she weighed 29 pounds and measured 35 inches long.  She impressed Doctor A. with the fact that she was potty trained by her second birthday!  Mommy and Daddy are so proud!!  Now she goes without even asking for a reward and wears big girl underpants all day except for when she sleeps.

Emma is talking more now, and is starting to string words together.  When she goes potty she loves to say, "I did it!"  She is learning colors and her favorite at this moment in time is yellow.  Emma can point to many objects and tell us what they are.  She has some of her favorite books memorized and can 'read' them to us with some of the basic words.  It's so funny because she has her favorite pages in several books that she always turns to.  Physically, she is very active, running and jumping around the house.  Chasing the dogs and playing "get you" with them is still one of her favorite things to do.

Our sweet big sister still loves to dote on Hannah.  She brings her toys, plays with her, and gives her plenty of kisses.  She is very protective of her when we are out and about.

Emma is taking art classes at Gymboree and we are loving the fall/holiday crafts she's been making!  She still loves music class at the library, so we do that regularly.  Lately with the cooler weather she's gotten to go the the railroad park and pumpkin patches.

Last weekend we celebrated her second birthday with the family.  She had so much fun with all of her grandparents!  She got an adorable kitchen, helping tower, and bounce house, which kept her busy nonstop!

I'm sure I forgot something as it seems that she is changing so much each day, but I think that covers most of it! :)  Love to all.
