Emmy had a big weekend last week. Mom is just a little late posting. We started off on Thursday with a big trip to the zoo!Caroline and Emmy jumped in the Tahoe and we drove all the way to the med center to get to the zoo to meet some of Betsy's friends in her mom's group. We started out with the giraffes and elephants, which Emmy was overall unimpressed with. She was WAY more interested in sucking her fist, which is pretty much all she does all day now. So we headed over to the children's zoo for some exciting goat petting (blah!) and to meet the other mommies.
In the kids zoo they have a bunch of basically farm animals for the kids to pet. We met up with the other kiddos and I took Emmy out of her stroller to get a closer look at the animals and see if maybe these were more interesting than her fist. Everything was fine through the donkey, minature ebu (huh?) and goats, but when we got to the llama all hell broke lose. Emmy does NOT like llamas. She started screaming hysterically. Maybe it's their luxurious eyelashes or lovely buck teeth, but something about them just doesn't settle with her. As soon as we stepped away the screaming stopped. Then I made her look at them again (just because I'm mean like that) and she started screaming again!!! Make a note of that: no llama rides at Emmy's bday parties. After a fe minutes of hysterical "Llama Trauma" Emmy decided to take a nap. So basically we drove all the way down to the zoo to spend five minutes looking at elephants, five minutes screaming at llamas, and an hour taking a nap. Oh well, at least we got a picture with an elephant butt!
On Saturday we headed out to Emmy's first Aggie event! The Rice/A&M baseball game at Minute Made. Whoop! Emmy got all Ag'd out in everything we could find with A&M on it (including the A&M hightops that Dejo bought threee years ago for Christmas to tell us we needed to have a baby). Emmy decided she needed to sing the National Anthem too, so if you heard some wailing accompaning the song, it was her. The child does not like to sit down. Boppa and Lanny got baby duty and Mom and Dad ate peanuts and watched the Ags lose... booo
Then on Sunday it was Pops birthday party! Emmy bought him a fun coffee maker. As an extra birthday present Dad got to play with Emmy as long as he wanted with no baby stealing! Happy Birthday Pops!
