Emma's 2-Year Photos






Emma had her two-year photos taken the other day, here at our home. She is advancing so fast, and getting so big. She speaks in nearly full sentences (and is a true chatterbox, like both her parents), and comes up with something new almost every day. She has surprised us in the last few weeks by:

  • Counting to fourteen, all by herself.
  • Singing the Alphabet Song, all the way through.
  • Pointing out letters everywhere she sees them.
  • Calling her Mama in the morning by saying ''Mama, come Emma's room, knock onna door.''
  • Actually saying ''Come in!'' when Mama knocked on her door.
  • Telling us that her Mama's name was "Hichole".
  • Singing to herself, in the car and the bathtub.
  • Feeding me a tortilla chip and then saying ''don't talk mouth full.''


  • The weekend after her birthday, we are throwing a birthday party for her with a Cinderella theme. Cinderella is one of her very favorite characters, and so the plan is to have birthday cakes and cookies shaped like Cinderella and her castle, rent an inflatable ''moon-bouncer'' that looks like Cinderella's castle, and of course send out themed invitations to Princess Emma's gala ball.


    It's hard to believe she's almost TWO!
