Sunday Afternoon Naps

I was sitting working on Royce's laptop and Royce fell asleep on my shoulder first, then Emmaline crawled up and fell asleep on my chest, and I thought, man, someone should take a picture of this! And then I remembered, I have the lap top, I can! I love my sweet sweet babies!

Merry Christmas to us!

We decided that since we have insanely hard, asbestos filled tile floor all throughout our apartment, before the new baby comes we should get a bigger rug to go in the living room, so she can have tummy time and all crawl and what not without giving herself a concussion. (Royce said the thought of the baby's head hitting this floor when she's laying on the ground in tummy time makes him sick to his stomach. :)) So my parents were awesome enough to buy us a rug for Christmas, and even generous enough to let us get it early, so here is our cool new rug for our apartment. Emmaline loves it. When we got home from Church today, she walked through the door, took her shoes off, and went and started rolling around on the carpet. It is really nice, and Royce even decided to do a little manic re-arranging of furniture in our apartment last night after we got it home, so we've got a nice new living space!

We barely got the carpet rolled out and Emmaline had to give it a try.
This was right before we went out to get our carpet, and we also took Emmaline to the dollar store so she could spend the money that Grammy Cookie gave her for her birthday. It finally started getting a little colder out here, and we realized that she only has one pair of pants left that fit her, so we went and got her a few new things, and this is one of her new outfits.

I forgot, Emmaline also had her 5yr check-up last week. She's in the 90% for her height, and the 20% for her weight. But the doctor says that she's really healthy, and is doing really well. She was even able to get the flu-mist so she didn't have to have any shots, which she was really excited about, but we still went and got ice cream after her check-up anyway. I took a really cute picture of her eating her ice cream on my phone, but since I'm retarded and don't know how to get the pictures from my phone to my computer, they will just have to stay there for a while. That would make for a pretty fun post when I actually get them off, and then we can see the progression. :)

Halloween!

Emmaline was a princess this year for Halloween. Her costume is actually one of her dress-up clothes that she got for her birthday, and she said she wanted to wear it for Halloween, so I thought, hey, that's awesome. So all we had to buy for halloween was the crown, and she was set. We just made the ward trunk-or-treat our official Halloween day since real Halloween was on a Sunday, and it was a lot of fun, and she got a ton of candy. She also rations it really well. She says, okay, I'm going to eat this candy, and then no more for today. She also decided that her candy needed to be sorted by colors, so each color is in its own bag, but she kept leaving the bags out all over the floor, and Royce and I don't have as much self control, so we finally had to tell her that if she didn't want Mommy and Daddy eating all of her candy, she can't leave it out all the time, so now she puts it away in her room. But she's still really good about sharing, and give us candy whenever we ask her for some. :)
