So I know I am way behind so I am going to do my best to catch up....one month at a time. For Calvin’s birthday, we went out to eat burger’s and then came home and enjoyed a chocolate peanut butter cake I made. It was pretty yummy! Calvin and Emma Kate seemed to love it.
Emma Kate was at her mother’s day out on day and got several mosquito bites on her face. One was right by her eye. She seemed fine but the next morning her eye was almost swollen shut. It did not seem to bother her but she looked like she had been in the fighting ring with Mike Tyson. It finally occurred to me to give her some allergy medicine and that really helped the redness and swelling.
Emma Kate and I have this ritual at bedtime each night. We do the usual read books, have some milk, snuggle, and then into the crib. Once in the crib, she wants all her animal friends with her in a certain way. If one item is missing or not in the right place she will let me know and she will fuss until it is made right by me! I took a couple of pictures one day at nap time so I could show her when she gets older. It is pretty cute until I forget one of her friends.
We took Emma Kate to her first baseball game this month. It was to see the Gwinnett Braves. We got lawn tickets and enjoyed the game in the sunshine.
Emma Kate’s vocabulary is really growing. She is now saying so many words. Here are some of them: no, this, ball, elbow, shhhhh (with this one, she puts her finger to her mouth as she says it), daddy, mama, and ice.
That is it for August. Here are some pictures from the month.
