Happy 4th of July!

Emma has recently taken up reading.  She always loves being read to, but now she loves playing with the touchable books. 

She is even learning to turn the pages! 



Gotta do a taste test, of course! 


That's not my pony! 


Pony?  I'm getting a pony?! 


This is the closest I could get to her snacking on her toes.  She moves quickly! 


First piggy-back ride?! 


This weekend we traveled up to Albany for Emma's cousin Ayla's Christening.  We had a wonderful time, and finally got to meet Ayla! The girls hit it off right away. 



Emma got all dolled up for the Christening (with a little help from Ayla for her shoes!)


When we got home, we tried to do a patriotic photo shoot. 


And then went to see the fireworks.  Emma couldn't believe how many people were there! 


We played for a little while, and then watched the fireworks when it got dark.  She loved watching them and was such a good girl, even though it was past her bedtime!   


We hope everyone had a happy Fourth of July!
