Lagging . . . . but for a good reason

I know every time I post something I always comment on how much I am lagging and I promise that I will keep up with this thing so the people important in our lives can stay in touch with what is going on, especially with Emerson. I have a good reason why this is so far behind I promise!!!!

Things have been insane lately!!! I gave my notice at work to explore other avenues of careers and to finish my school. Which I will be complete with Credential and all by this time next year, hopefully soon. Emerson turned 2 and this little loveable, sometimes, monster has emerged into the VERY TERRIBLE TWOs for the most part. We still have our good moments but the tantrums and jealousy seem to be out numbering the good right now but we are working on that. The binky is almost gone. A friend of mine suggested we slowly cut the pacifier itself and I have slowly been doing that. Emerson thinks its broke but yet still finds some way to suck on the thing but her need for it is slowly starting to go away. When this stage has been completed and there is no longer a binky let the potty training commence. I tried it earlier in the summer and I just don't think she was quite ready for it. But I feel she is getting close, she wants to wear princess panties like her cousin!!!

So many great things to look forward here in the coming weeks we are all very exciting. A new little edition will be joining the family here very soon and we can not wait for her arrival!!!! A new path has opened for Emerson and I and I know that this is something that will be the best for us and I am so happy to being seeing the light at the end of this long tunnel for school!!! Life is really great for us now and it's only getting better. Thanks to our family for all your support and love will Emerson and I continue on our little journey!!!

2 years ago

I can't believe 2 years ago today , 11:14 P.M. to be exact, this blond hair blue eyed girl came into my life and changed my world for the better. Of course she decided to come into this world her own way, nothing has changed much for her since that day. This little girl is so smart but I might be a little partial to this. Everyday is a new adventure for her and I and those around us. She now has her big girl bed and she now freely roams around the room when she doesn't want to sleep. She has fallen off her bed a few times and I have found her sound asleep on the floor next to the bed a couple of times already. She makes me smile and laugh every day at her independence and the little girl that she is becoming.

She has mind of her own and is very strong willed, sometimes maybe a little to much for my liking. She is as sassy as they come but loving to every person she meets. She has a good heart and is caring and loves to be around people all the time. The more the merrier to her because she has a blast with anything that she does. She is a little water baby and can not be in the pool enough. She can swim on her own with the help of a little floaty swim suit and she wouldn't have it any other way.

I love this girl more than life itself and everyday is the best with her in it!!! Watching her grow and turn in to the most amazing child the past 2 years has been the best thing that I have been able to experience. Although very trying at times I wouldn't change it!!! I can't wait to see what the future holds for her and I but I know it's going to be an amazing one!!

To Big

Emerson is just getting to big for her own good it seems lately!!!! I can't help the fact that she is no longer my little baby girl but she is momma's big girl, actually she is more Papa's girl but that is another story, that she is to sassy for words. She is my blond hair blue eye big girl who now has a big girl bed and momma can FINALLY put her hair in piggies!!! Although the top of her hair still seems to be having growing issue. I think I need to get her some miracle grow for her hair. She is so independent and is exploring everything to do herself. She speaks more clearly now and she makes sure that everyone in the entire room knows what she is saying, she does not have an inside voice what-so-ever.

As her 2nd birthday is rapidly approaching I can't help but think how amazing this little girl in my life has been. She has made and changed everything in my life for the better and each days is that much brighter with her in it!!!! It's hard to imagine where my life would be or what it would be like without her in it. I feel truly blessed to have her in my life and how everyday is always something new for her and my family!!!
