Day at the Zoo

Kevin and I took Emily to the Sacramento Zoo today, it was a perfect day to be outside. I think Emily liked it, we saw orangutans, birds, lions (or as Emily would put it, "Kitty"), flamingos, and she also played on the playground.
For dinner Emily decided she would try to use a cup and not a sippy cup, what a big girl. After finding her sitting in a puddle and having a wet diaper, I realized I think she needs some more work. But Im glad she is trying.

I think this is when Em realized she was sitting in a very wet diaper!

Looking at the flamingos.

What a beautiful butterfly!

Happy St. Pattys Dday

Today Emily and I met some of our friends at Nugget for some coffee. We all dressed in green, it was fun. I took Emily to the library and we listened to Mother Goose, Emily enjoyed it but had a hard time sitting still. Later today we met Stacy and Sienna to jog and go to the park. We have had a great 3 days with the beautiful weather.
I took Em to her 15 month wellness appointment, last week. Em got 1 shot, she wasn't too happy but did okay! She was 32.5inches and 25.9 lbs, she grew 2 inches in the last 3 months, what a big girl!
Em is not just walking but running. Emily loves to be independent, and do what she wants to do. She is still talking so much, she says stinky, pooh pooh, hat, night night. When she hears a dog she will say, "doggy". She also thinks all birds are ducky's.
Em is getting her baby molars, the bottom left one cut last week, and her bottom right is about to cut any day. New foods Em likes are green beans, corn, eggs, pineapple, blueberries and lasagna. She likes to use spoons and forks, but she needs a lot more practice. Em enjoys finger foods so she can feed her self. Emily is growing into such a big girl. Its amazing to see how much she learns every day.

What is wrong with this picture...ha ha

What a silly girl!

Today Emily and I went to visit Stephanie and Olivia in Vacaville for lunch. I invited Stacy and Sienna to come along with us. After lunch we went to The Nut Tree and played. Emily went on her first carousel and train ride. We had a great time! When we got back to West Sac, we stopped at the park. Emily loved running around on the grass, as you can see in the picture she doesn't always stay on her feet.

The Beach

We went to Santa Cruz last Sunday to visit Kelly and Jeff! While we were there we took Emily to the beach, she had so much fun! She loved the sand, she ran for about half a mile, screaming in excitment. We will have to go back and visit soon. Emilys first touch of the sand.

She liked the water touching her feet.

The Family.

Emily and Daddy!
