Just sweet

This past month has been such a crazy growing and learning time for Emma. I feel like everyday she does something new. I think we are ready to declare the first words as Dad! She has said it for a while, but in the last weeks it has been very directed to Matt and its not Dada, but clearly Dad. Her vocabulary is really taking off, some words that we hear daily:

Du (duck)

Do (dog) - and yes you can hear the difference even though the ending is not there yet.

Bebe for baby

Dad

Bu (trying to get bird, she knows it starts with a b)

Uh-Oh

Voo-"whats a cow say"

Ba ba-"whats a sheep say"

And her signing is crazy fun also:

Still doing all done, more, and waving (at everyone!)

Now we have eat and help, please and thank you

She will put her hands on the side of her head when we say Oh my and up with we say touchdown, and make the face in the picture when we say cheese.

It just amazes me everyday how much they already understand. I love teaching her new things, so much fun!

Upgrades

When we moved into our house, the list of upgrades was huge, and is still growing. But, it is a challenge we are willing to take on and it has been so much fun doing it ourselves (so far). So- thought I would put up the biggest thing we have tackled, the kitchen. We are so happy with how it turned out. Thanks for all the help from our parents, all had a part in completing the project. Also, this weekend we built our garden. Matt and I worked most of the day and Emma either napped or roamed around the backyard, it was perfect! We had a pretty decent garden in Wisconsin and loved it so we were determined to get this one ready by spring, here it is! Hopefully the fence will keep out the pesky deer, we will see! Can't wait to fill it up!
