~ email sent by Emerson on her birthday ;)
Hi everyone!
Today is my 2nd birthday! Mom thought I should write a little email to let everyone know what I'm up to these days!
A lot has changed since my last email 1 year ago. I've "grown up" so much over the past year! People are usually quite impressed by my vocabulary. I surprise everyone all the time with how well I talk. Mom and Dad thought Blake was a parrot when he was younger, but I AM A PARROT! I repeat EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything ... good and bad ;) My memory is really good too and I have memorized a lot of songs. My favorite song to sing is "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." I'm also starting to learn my colors and I can even count up to 20!! I also know most of the ABC song :) Some of the other things I enjoy doing are reading books, coloring, doing arts and crafts (especially using glue sticks!!), dancing, playing with my dolls and ponies and playing with Blake (and sometimes fighting over toys :S)!!
And the biggest news of all this past year is that I am a Big Sister!! My little sister was born in November. Mom and Dad think I'm a very good big sister. I like to help them and sometimes I even get to help carry and hold Reese! Reese loves it when I talk to her - she smiles and coo's a lot!! Mom and Dad were worried I'd be jealous of my new sibling, but I wasn't at all! I love her to bits and like to help take care of her. I love having Mom home with us every day and doing lots of activities with Mom and Dad! We have a ton of fun!! I enjoy everything I'm in - gymnastics, swimming and "Come Play With Me", but also like the odd day when we stay home in our pj's :)
On January 24th I weighed 24 lbs and was 32" tall. I guess I'm on the smaller side for my age!?
Well, I hope everyone is doing really good. It was good talking to ya' and hopefully I'll see you before I'm 3!
Hugs and Kisses,
Emerson

Happy 2nd Birthday Emerson!
Today is Emerson's 2nd birthday!! We had such a great day!! This morning the kids slept in (thank you, thank you, thank you!!) and when we were all up and moving Em opened her gifts from us, Blake and Reese. Of course, Blake was very helpful :) Then we headed to Servus Place! We went swimming, Grandma D joined us, had lunch at Booster Juice and played in the play gym. The kids had lots of fun, they sure love swimming!! It was Reese's first time in the pool and she loved it. Kicked her legs happily :)
While Emerson and Reese were napping, Cal and Blake went out to Saiker's Acres to check out the World's Longest Hockey Game. And I got ready for Em's birthday dinner! Cal's Dad and my parents came over later in the afternoon for dinner and cupcakes! Emerson enjoyed playing with Grandpa Bruce and Grandma and Grandpa D! Not to mention Gabe ... she sure loves Gabe (Bruce's dog!)!!!! While singing happy birthday to Emerson, she sang happy birthday to Dad!! So, so cute! Grandma captured it on video, I'll have to upload it! I can't believe Emerson and Blake went to bed so well after consuming all that sugar less then one hour before their bed time, but all the activities of the day tired them out, I'm sure :)
We're hosting a "kids" birthday party for Emerson on Sunday at Dynamyx Gymnastics Club in St. Albert. She's excited to wear her new gymnastics clothes that Grandma and Grandpa gave her for her birthday! She modeled them tonight and even showed us some moves ;) I'm really looking forward to it - Emerson loves her gymnastics class and will be excited to be there with her friends!!!
On one hand, it is hard to believe our dear Emerson is 2 years old today. On the other hand, she seems older then 2! As I've often said, her vocabulary is exceptional for her age! Not to mention her comprehension!! She's a smart little girl, that's for sure :) She has taught us so much in her short 2 years and I can only imagine what's to come! Her beautiful, bright, 1 dimpled smile melts our hearts. She gives the best hugs and kisses and to hear her ask for a hug and a kiss, once again ... melts our hearts! She is undeniably a Daddy's girl, but is full of love for Mom too! It is also so obvious how much she loves her big brother and little sister. We were worried she would be jealous of her new sibling, but she hasn't shown any signs of jealousy at all and loves to give Reese hugs and kisses and is so concerned when she is crying ;) Thank you for bringing so much joy and love to our lives Emerson and keeping each day interesting!! We love you more then you can know and can't wait to see what your 3rd year brings!!!
xoxo Mom and Dad
