Hokey Pokey

Emma and Jack Hanks were dancing with Hokey Pokey Elmo....I noticed them through the window and caught the end of it on video. These two play so good together!

Peek a boo Lila

Lila playing peek a boo with me through the window. She was home sick this day, obviously, she is miserable :)

Dancing Queen!

At Cousin Becky's wedding over Memorial Weekend, Emma got her grove on! She was all over the dance floor. It usually went "dance, dance, dance...try to get the computer...dance, dance...go check out the lights..dance, run by the table. Repeat. She had so much fun!

The picture is a bit dark, but you get the point.

We went to the gymnastics center for a playdate on Friday and Emma LOVED it! She was on the trampoline, swinging on the rings, bopping around the mats, and jumping in the foam pit. Thanks for the great time Clark!

Here are a few videos of her time there! You will see that she got tired of my shooting towards the end :)

Follwing in Mommy's footsteps...

Well, actually, walking in mommy's shoes. And that is no small achievement!

Toss me Daddy!

Emma loves being tossed around. Now we call it 'jumping' because she squats down and helps. Mostly, I just like to hear her giggle :)

Touchdown!

Emma is starting to be a major football fan, here she is cheering the Packers on yelling TOUCHDOWN!!!

Tickle Tickle

Hilarious! Emma was in the bath tonight, stuck out her foot, and started tickling herself. You can hear her say "tickle, tickle, tickle" just like her daddy does!

Splish Splash

It was finally warm in NE Wisconsin this weekend so Emma got to try out her new pool from Grandma. Here are a couple of videos of her figuring out the spritzers!

Emma on the go!

Here is a little clip of Emma walking. If she goes between to objects like a table and the couch...no problem. If she walks toward mom or dad....once she gets close, she makes a dive for it! The second video is more of a success story :)

Pony Girl

Ok, let's try to enjoy this without any comments about mom's terrible singing.

Walk around the garden

When I was growing up, my nanny (Grandma Kowalczyk) always sang "Walk around the garden" and I loved it. Apparently, Emma likes it when her grandma sings it too!

Dinner time!

I know it has been forever since I put a video up here! This is a short one from a little while back of the first time we gave Emma a spoon to use. She liked it, though let her other hand help! She actually used her potatoes to help her get the meat on there!

Waving

After we were home from visiting over the holidays, Emma was more than happy to perform all the tricks we have been working on including waving. Of course, no such luck on demand.

So Big!

It is kind of a dark video, but she is tricky to catch on camera and here we have a bit of the "so big!"routine.

So funny!

I have no idea what she thought was so funny, but she was sitting there laughing for about 5 minutes before I even got out the camera!

Changing Table

More tickles from Dad

Playing with mumma

Funny Grandma

Emma had a great time at the lake with all her grandparents there! Here Grandma Tesch finds a very successful tickle spot!
