Our beautiful bay

smooth and calm as a bathtub...

yes this is the bay in front of our house...

I love it!

someone loves her pack and play

Emmy loves it because Daddy plays with her the whole time :)

Bonkies- the first forhead bump ;(

She was in my lap and bonked on the edge of the table... waaa.

I'm glad I got this picture-- this is her new thing-- she does this with her tongue all of the time.

She doesn't seem any worse for the wear... she only cried for a minute and then was miss giggle pants.

I'm sure it's the first of many bumps and bruises-I hate to think of it.

Shopping in Dominica...

My sweet husband carrying our groceries the 79 miles home from the store (ok, it's not that far and it feels way less when he is the one carrying the bags :)

Look Dr. Chalmers- TING!!! we are bringing some home for you :)

the Dr. who delivered Emmy (Dr. Chalmers) told us about the delicious soda TING- it's a favorite of mine-- Emmy's too if the bubbles are dead...

So we found a cart in a local store-- I was SO excited-- Emmy was not--don't worry, I took this pic as Jason was grabbing her (we aren't child abusers)... the thing I don't understand is why she felt like her foot might help in this situation.

the goat that we saw on the way...wow.

shower time with Emmy/Thomas-- please don't judge our shower...

Kelly- get one of these sponges... it's a life saver :)

She LOVES to shower with Mom, Dad, Josh, Papa or Booky.

Alligator pics!

so these are from Florida- before we came to Dominica...

My studly brother Dave- he is coming to Dominica in late August and we can't wait!

Aren't they brave?!

Yes, Jason is a little chubbier (he has lost a ton of weight) but he is amazing!

Dave is cute.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!!

yep- we found a new favorite-

it's been an intense week- first pizza, then Ice CREAM- we are on our way to childhood obesity!

thankfully she is a tiny little thing!

She would grab my hand so that I couldn't pull ice cream away.

Emmy and 2 pictures of me :)

Emmy loves to stand!

Here she is getting her balance...

Here she is clapping for herself--

Test

more clapping- just yesterday she decided that standing was the easiest thing ever and she just started balancing like crazy...

I love her little concentration face here.

She loves to read :)

Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!

Emmy holds her toothbrush even while asleep= so cute!

Last night with Josh- waaaaa

Emmy and Josh enjoying their last night together- he was a great help and is definately her new best friend! Lately Emmy has been doing the strange agression thing...biting everything like CRAZY, turning red, and trembling with strange rage-- I hope it is connected to the teething. :)
