Mommy's Birthday Cake

Today is my Birthday and right after I blew the candles out, Emerick touched the cake but then remembered he doesn't like his fingers icky....so he went for it face first! Our first reaction was "Noooo!" but then, I said "Go for it, I will get my phone and take a video!" We are soo glad, because this is without a doubt our favorite video of Emerick to date. The best part is at about .17! Turn up your volume!

Toy Story 3 on Ice

James, my Parent's and I took Emerick to see Toy Story 3 on Ice a couple of weeks ago in Hershey, PA. We had great seats (2nd row on the ice) and overall had a really great time. Emerick skipped his nap, and so he didn't quite last the entire show, and we had a pretty good

tantrum, but like I said - overall it was a great time! We stayed the night in Hershey and so did my Parents and had a nice little weekened away :-)

We took a few pictures of the show and of Emerick watching the show....

Frown Lines: Then & Now

Emerick was literally born making this little frownie face :-)

Grammy

Emerick loves my Mom - his Grammy. Or as he calls her "Uh-Guh". (no idea why he calls her that, haha!) He recognizes we are going to her house from a certain point about 1 mile down the road, and always says "Uh-Guh House!" Last week I finally fulfilled my Mom's Birthday wish (her birthday was in July) and did a little photo session of her with her favorite Grandson. Needless to say, it was kind of a nightmare as I had totally anticipated. Emerick is the worst subject on Earth and absolutely hates to have his picture taken. Or have to sit still for more than 2 seconds. (he is a two year old boy, and a wild one at that!) We had about 1 1/2 minutes of cooperation and then it was meltdown/tantrum city. Here are a few shots that I did get that I think are precious.

You can click the above tantrum if you want to see it bigger ;-) Having your photo taken is torture.
