Some recent pics

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit at the end of April. Emma helped Grandma with her cross-stitch.




I love watching Leo try to figure things out. You can almost see his two brain cells rubbing together. Here he is trying to figure out a drippy faucet (yes, left dripping on purpose).





Emma and Daddy reading on the bed.




Emma fixing herself some breakfast.

Apron strings

Emma decided she wanted to wear an apron like Mommy. Grandma's fit just right.

Bed time

We expect Emma to climb out of her crib any time now. I suspect the only thing that has kept her in her crib up to now is the fact that she actually likes being in it so it hasn't dawned on her to even try. In an effort to be prepared, Doug is making her a big girl bed. As she loves playing under tents made of pillows and blankets ('house! house!'), the bed is complete with curtain rails.

I better get cracking on the curtains.

Spring thaw brings ...

... lovely mud to play in. Emma loves being outside; you can tell by how black her clothes get. At daycare, she and another little boy are sure to find the only mud around.

Emma Posterized

I tried out a new fibre technique I read about recently. The piece is not finished yet, but I really like it even at this point.

Puzzles

Emma loves puzzles and she is getting quite good at animal sounds. Blend the two together and this is what you get.




btw, "bubbly" means water.

Zippy

As you can see from this clip, sometimes Emma is quite speedy when she wants to be. This makes it a bit difficult to keep an eye on her, particularly when we are out shopping. So, when buying her summer shoes I was quite pleased to find ones with squeakers in the heals.

Emma loves them.

I may live to regret it.
