Little painter

Emma tried eating the paint from the tip of the brush but didn't seem to enjoy it. After that, we got her a quesadilla with guacamole from the taco truck and that was a hit.

Discovery Museum

We headed off to the Discovery Museum in Sausalito after Emma's 15-month appt. this morning. We had a blast! She was a healthy 21 pounds, 6 ounces (25th percentile) and 30 inches tall. She now says "thank you" fairly regularly. :-)

I love asparagus!

My parents say it's asparagus season ... YAY to that!

Tumbling class

Little explorer

Emma loves to explore and had a ball playing during a friend's BBQ on a gorgeous Sunday. The cracker stays in her hand the entire time. :-)

Cousins at play

Rocco and I had a blast today starting with swim lessons, some basketball, then lunch at a cafe that has a big play area for us kids. We were more interested in the balls and slide than eating our grilled cheese sandwich. (Katie is just beginning to show a tiny baby bump ... due the end of August w/surprise No. 2 ... she looks fabulous!).

Sandbox fun

Farm excursion

Emma and I had a fun adventure to a farm outside of Berkeley today. We saw cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, geese. She loved it!

Zoo day with Dad

Emma phrases

First swim lesson

I loved my first swim lesson today and even dunked under. Mom wasn't surprised since I've always loved being in the water whether swimming in a pool or for my bath.





Cousin Rocco is going to join my class soon! FUN!







(Before and after shots with getting ready in my new suit and then getting cozy in my sweats to hit the park and sandbox).

This is the life!

Happy

Happy Thursday!
