This weekend Emmy ventured back to the reservation for her first trip "home" to Port Neches! Our new friend Kate is almost ready to make her big appearance and we had to go deliver the rocking chair to Michelle for her baby shower. Michelle is the pretty one in the pink in the middle (and Kate is in her belly.)

Emmy got to meet a lot of the Port Neches crew. Pops and Dad brought her back towards the end of the shower (so they didn't have to do "girl things") to meet everyone and Emmy promptly fell asleep. We finally took a picture with Aunt Betsy and Caroline since Mom and Betsy didn't actually look like complete and total poop this time! There was real makeup on!

Then we ventured back to Great Aunt Mary and Uncle Stan's house for a little (YUMMY) gumbo and to meet the rest of the Port Neches fam, cousins Tiffany, Lane, and Elise. Dijo and Leslie even brought Emmy her first valentine!

Also, in preparation for her future modeling career... Emmy would like to unveil... BLUE STEEL!!!! If you're wondering what the hell that means, rent Zoolander, then don't blame me for watching it... =)

We've also instituted naked play time. It's an Emmy favorite! It goes something like this...(1)throw the blanket on Emmy while you are standing up. It must cover Emmy's face. (2) Emmy squeals and kicks it until it's all the way off. (3) Repeat. For some reason this is MUCH more fun when you're naked!

Emmy also learned how to hold her rattle and shake it! With a few bonks to the head now and then...


The rest of the week we've been just kick-kick-kicking, blowing bubbles, and smiling (which I STILL cannot get on camera) Kick-Kick-Kicking makes you pretty tired after a while!


If at this point you're thinking, "Man, this child spends a lot of time on the floor by herself" we PROMISE that this her favorite place to be, besides of course the diaper changer on the pack and play...wierd child! Good thing she's SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!
