What Grandpas Do

Wes' dad keeps Emersen on Thursday and Friday each week. Which is BEYOND helpful and amazing, we're so grateful. Because of this, she gets to do some not-so-typical activities. Such as watch the car get an oil change. Apparently the car lift was a big hit, and Em clapped - that might have been the mechanics first ovation while on the job?

Now, as I type, Em is supervising the painters at our house painting the front door/sidelights (CertaPro Painters - who I do the bookkeeping for to this day). She will be so well rounded, don't you think? 

Her other escapades have included putting up yard signs for church events and a lunch/cookout our church did for a local precinct of the police department. I don't know if you know about flat Stanley for kids, but I suggested my father-in-law just take pics of their adventures for his own flat Emersen collection. 

Glad to have our little miss home - she spent Sunday through Wednesday with my parents in Louisville. Apparently her and my dad had a big ol' time - she likes to wave at him. And mom was tired, she said. She also may have described Emersen as a little devil who will test you at every turn. Oh boy.

Lifestyles of the Young & the Restless

That title is like 2 show references I think...but here is what Em's been up to lately. Being hilarious is the best way to describe it. 

This is what she looked like when I got her up from a nap. Her arm is out of a long sleeve onesie...or she's going for a toga look? I don't even know.

Em's learning to sit still at times and this is one of them.

She'll sit on the couch and play. And she knows how to get off the couch as well - backwards fashion of course.

Go ahead, pinch her cheeks. Eat her face. It's what I do.

Daddy and Emersen lounging in the chair, cozy with a blanket. She must have been tired.

And here's the ridiculous-ness. Kelli/Waverly has passed on some clothes to us for the 18 month phase of life - yes, she wears size 18 month for the most part.

So Emersen is wearing Sponge Bob pj's. And the winter hat? She kept ripping it off when I put it on her earlier in the night. I would hand it to her and she would throw it back. After a nap however, she left it on for awhile. Crawled around, played, etc all the while having the hat on her head. Apparently, the hat inspires silly behavior - note the original owner/wearer who remains anonymously hidden (Waverly...).
