Preschool!

Yesterday was my first day at my new preschool. I got to visit on Tuesday morning and I loved all the new toys in my classroom. I also got to meet my teachers.

This is a picture of me before going in to school on my first official day. (This is NOT what I looked like when Mommy dropped me off in my classroom...but my teachers said I had a great first day!)

Summertime!

I have been having so much fun this summer! Here are a couple pictures so you can see what I've been up to!

Me and Lydia playing at the pool. I'm checking out this tea pot...not so sure about this... But then Lydia and figured out how much fun it was to pour water all over Daddy!


Mommy and Daddy took me to a minor league baseball game! It was so fun! I ate all my hot dog and washed it down with some M&M's and Starbursts!

Emma Tries Real Food!

Emma went for her 6 month check-up yesterday. She weighs 14lbs, 14oz and is 25" "tall". Last night, Mommy and Daddy gave Emma her first bite of "real food"! Mommy told me she was eating rice, but it sure didn't look like the rice I eat! Here are some pictures of her adventure...

Emma before the rice...very excited!


Daddy giving Emma her very first bite!



Hmmmm...I think she'd rather chew on the spoon...

She thinks it's pretty good...

Yes, she loved it! If she liked that stuff, just wait until she tries ice cream!

Colorado

I got to fly on an airplane all the way to Colorado!! Daddy and Mommy took me and Emma out there to see Poppy and YaYa for a few days. I had such a good time! Here are some pictures of my trip!

Here I am helping Daddy take out the trash...had to get to work first thing!



And then, on a different day, Poppy and Emma took another can while I rode my "motorcycle"...

We roasted marshmallows - here I am showing Poppy how to do it...

And then eating them...

Emma and I "playing instruments"...

Poppy took me to the fire station one day. I had so many questions for the firemen...we were there for an hour and a half!

I even got to ring the bell on the firetruck!

I had my very own teepee at YaYa's house!!!

Here I am playing inside...

Emma even got in!

Cowboy Turner (even though I have a pink lasso...)

Tough guys even ride their motorcycles in the rain... Only Poppy would let me do this!

Emma floating in the pool...

The whole family!

Me and my baby sister...

Next I had to wash my car and my motorcycle...

I even helped Poppy wash his car!

YaYa and Emma snuggling

Mommy and Daddy sent me a package while they were gone!

Yuuuuuummmmy!!!

Emma playing with MY legos!

Fire! Fire!

Emma and I played in the basement the other night and (with a little help from Daddy) she got to take her first ride on the back of my firetruck! Check out that smile!


I had to get off the truck to "spray" my fire hose, so here is the little fire assistant taking notes! Maybe she'll be ready for the next fire!

Happy 4th!

We had a great 4th of July - we went to watch fireworks and I loved them! Grandmommy rocked Baby Emma the whole time - she slept through them!

Here is the little 4th of July princess!



Emma tries talking to me all the time, but I still can't understand what she's saying...



Me and my baby sister!

The Littlest Fire Assistant

Emma and I were playing in the basement the other day, so I decided to share some of my magnetic letters with her. She was such a fun play buddy, that I decided she could be my new fire chief assistant! So I ran over and got one of my fire hats and plopped it on her head! Now we'll be ready for any fire emergency!!

"Crawling"

I decided to "help" Baby Emma learn to crawl this weekend. Take a look...

Update

A lot has been going on at our house lately... I jumped/fell out of my crib, so I'm in my big boy bed now, we celebrated Father's Day and Emma is getting bigger by the minute! Here are some pictures...

Baby Emma with Daddy on Father's Day. He is the world's best daddy!!


Daddy feeding Baby Emma...quite the "golf tan" huh???



Baby Emma and Mommy...

More pictures of Baby Emma...

All smiles!

Here I am snuggling in my big boy bed!

I was so proud of my bed!

Making "cookies" at Granny's house...

Emma and I are keeping Mommy and Daddy very busy!

The Zoo!

Mommy and YaYa took me on my first trip to the zoo this past weekend. I had so much fun with all the animals!!!

Here I am posing by the elephant statue...


Me and Mommy in front of the boy elephant. I told Mommy he was trying to get through the door to see his friends!


This was my favorite part...I got to feed the giraffes!

Me and Mommy in front of the giraffes...

Me with the flamingos...

YaYa got in the petting zoo with me and the nice zoo lady let me use this to comb the sheep...

I was a professional!

Then we got to ride on the train!

Before lunch I found a peacock just walking around the zoo!

Here are me and YaYa with the black bear in the background...

Watching the polar bear swim!

Looking at the gorillas... Right when YaYa went to take our picture, the mist came through!

Getting ready to watch the 4-D movie of Diego and Dora...with my best friend George.

And now that I use the big boy potty, it's a good thing Mommy put it in the car! I used it a lot!
