Emmy's 2 years old!!

Wow, my last post on here was when Emmy was 16 months old!! Hard to believe she turned 2 earlier this month. I can't believe that little tiny 5 lb. baby is 2 years old now. And yes, she is very much into the "terrible two's"!! Well, here's my update. Since my last blog I had my older brother and nephew move in with me. They were living in Kentucky and it was not very easy for for brother raising his son alone, so they came to live with us for a couple months. My brother found work and now he's living upstairs from us on the 3rd floor. So now Emmy has yet another cousin to add to the mix, she will be very well protected when she's older...boyfriends beware! So Emmy turned 2 years old and we were planning her b-day party for a week later. But things took a turn for the worst and I ended up in the hospital, turns out I have to have my gallbladder out. So..I am having surgery done on March 25th. Next weekend I am sooooo excited cause we are going to Maine to see Nana and Grampa!! Then the weekend after that we are going to have Emmy's birthday party. So we'll be busy for the next few weeks. Anyway, Emmy is so much fun these days. She still sees early intervention but they say her speech is WAY above average. Right now she is into turning off the TV while I am watching it and calling people on the phone when mommy doesn't know LOL. She is extremely sneaky too, but I guess thats just her age. Oh! I am also on a diet. A very strict one too. I can only eat skinless turkey and chicken and drink skim milk, eat fish, fruit, veggies, and I am only allowed 3 servings of butter a day. It bites! But I am just really glad Emmy and I are eating healthier. Oh and I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Maybe a little two fast, but I am following Dr.'s orders LOL. So..thats about it.




Emmy on her 2nd Birthday

Emmy is 16 months old already!!

Hi everybody, haven't updated this in a long time! Between posting pictures and updates on MySpace and Facebook, doing all 3 daily was a little much. But I would like to report that Emmy had her first run through a sprinkler the other day with her cousins, Mikey and Andrew. I had to run through with her though because she hates the grass her on barefeet, I am gonna have to get her some water proof baby sandals! She had tons of fun and was so excited. Also, lots and lots of teeth have come in all at one time so now she is eating lots of regular food and much less baby food. THANK GOD! She eats honey nut cheerios and bananas for breakfast and had her first bowl of Mac n' cheese yesterday, which she loved! Now that the weather is nice we go for walks a lot and are glad to get out of the house!! Also, since I am not updating this as much and I post all my pictures to Myspace and Facebook, if you would like to make an account to see all Emmy's pics daily, my page is www.facebook.com/LindsayOsborne and Myspace is www.myspace.com/darkpoet0320 Well. thats about it!

Nana's visit

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not updated in so long. Besides being busy I had the flu really bad last week. It wasn't fun. I don't remember the last time I was that sick. Anyway, Emmy continues to entertain us daily with new things. Her fav thing now is to chase and corner the cat with her walker. It looks like she has tazmanian devil legs under her walker the way she chases her so quickly. I have to run after the cat and scoop her up to save her because she gets so scared sometimes she just freezes. Also, when I yell at Emmy and tell her not to antaginize the poor cat she laughs in my face grabs my pointed finger and bites it, lmao. Nana was here for that one and throuroughly enjoyed it, HAHA! Anyway, mom came down and stayed with us for two nights. It was awesome. We had an all girls night cause Louie was working night shifts both nights, so it was cool to have company and me and mom always laugh and have fun anyway. So mom watched Emmy's bedtime rutien and Emmy loved that. Every night I give Emmy a bath and let her play in there before I give her a massage and feed her and put her to bed. Emmy put on a show for nana in the bath tub splashing around and yelling, lol. Mom took pictures of her soapy mohawk, so cute! I was totally spoiled though. Mom let me sleep in both mornings and I woke up (I have two couches in the livingroom so I slept on one and mom had the other) to Emmy and mom playing blocks on the floor. What a treat it was to wake up at 10! lol. I didn't think I'd get to do that for years! Anyway, it's 8am and Emmy is awake, I can hear her playing with her toys in the crib. Gotta go feed and dress her for the day. I'll try to update soon! Love, Lindsay

Emmy's new car seat!

Well this week was a good one except for one thing, Nana being in the hospital! I have been very worried about her all week. But now mom tells me she is okay. Anyway, This week Holly brought Madison over for a play date with Emmy and it was great to have her interacting with another baby her age. The played well together but Maddy is 2 months older and only a couple weeks preemie, so she is already walking and that makes Emmy want to walk too. She shared her toys so well and loved playing with another baby. It was so fun to watch. Also, my nephews down stairs are on school vacation this week so they have been up at our house a lot. Emmy loves when they come up because she plays with them while she is in her walker, lol, she chases them around the house in her walker. It's so fun for her. She is also getting a lot better at moving around in her walker, babies start off going backwards but now she is going frontwards too. She loves to stand up and walk instead of sitting down and just moving her feet. This week she also ate gerber puffs which are like cheerios but disolvable. I am one of those moms that thinks my kid is gonna choke on everything so those are great for me! lol. So, today she was supposed to have her appointment with Lisa but I canceled to go up to Mom's house today, her and Pat are going to Maine tomorrow, so I wanted to see them before they went up, not to mention get Emmy's car seat...he he! LOL. So when I left to go up there this morning I didn't have a good update on Nana and then when I got there mom told me she was doing better, so I was pretty relieved about that. However, we were both exausted from waking up so early...4am and driving up there so we ended up taking two naps. lol. One on the couch and one with Nana in her bed. It was fun though, I told mom I was stealing her and Pats bed, I think it was the most comfy bed I had ever slept in! About 4pm Louie came back to my moms and Emmy was so happy to see him! As usual! Soon after that Grammy came home with Chinese food and we had a great dinner. After that I fed Emmy her sweet potato's while Grammy held her. Emmy also spit them all over the couch and blanket! lmao. Thank God they had a sheet down to cover the couch!! So then Louie and I went out to install Em-boo's new car seat. I absolutely LOVE it. It's awesome. It's a brown and pink, safety first and she LOVES sitting frontwards in it. She loves being able to see Louie and I when shes in the car. So! Like I said, besides worrying about Nana this week was good. Well, I gotta go, Emmy needs to get to bed and my nephews are playing with Emmy's new tea pot set, it makes a pouring sound when you pretend to pour it out and they are "dumping it out" on my head! LOL. I am going to tell them they have to leave because now I am soaked with tea and have to change my clothes, HAHA!! Little buggers. Anyway, I'll update again soon!

Emmy's Second 1st Birthday!!

Hi everyone, Emmy's party went great. We had so much fun! Mom and Pat did so much and Louie and I are so appreciative! If they weren't there I don't think I would have seen the party at all! LOL The theme was Elmo, Emmy's favorite and so of course she wore her Elmo outfit! lol. She loves entertaining people so of course she had so much fun! She got lots of birthday presents from people and they were all awesome. I thought mom and Pat's gifts were seriously done and then they even bought her a car seat!! Louie and I couldn't believe it. I can't wait to install it! Emmy also enjoyed her cake! LOL She smushed it everywhere! Anyway, the party was great and we had a perfect turn out. These are the people who came:

Catching up...

Ok, So I have a lot of catching up to do. Haven't written in a while, sorry about that, but it's been pretty busy around here! I do have lots of pictures though! Ok so, last weekend Danielle came down to out house again and it was so much fun. She absolutely loves her niece. She brought Emmy down some birthday presents and she really enjoyed opening them! She loves the tissue wrapping paper. So when Danielle was here she cut my hair for me which was great cause it was WAY too long, so I feel relieved that it's finally chopped off! LOL Anyway, the presents Danielle bought were great, Emmy got a new Halo sleep sack, a pink sweater, a laugh & learn turtle that sings and counts, a crib wedge (you put it under the crib sheet, it elevates the top of the crib so it feels like a pillow, but since pillows aren't safe for Emmy yet that's what I wanted to use and it's awesome) and a light switch panel to match her room, it's so cute. I loved everything. Danielle is such a great aunt and Emmy loves her. So yes, Saturday was a blast. Then on Sunday we finally got out to the house! I was so glad to actually get some fresh air! LOL So that was good, but I keep telling Emmy, "two more pounds baby, two more, keep eating!!" Because she hates facing backwards in her car seat, but I can't turn her around to face front until she is 20 lbs. Then on Monday afternoon Emmy and I got a package from Auntie Charly with lots of cool stuff inside, she got a hand puppet of a kitty with a book attached, she loves it when I put my hand in and talk to her, lol. She also got a doll with a rattle inside, an adorable card with her cousins on the front and some more dough for her piggy bank! That was so nice of A.C. to send that to her. So then on Monday evening dad and Beth came to see us and we had a nice time visiting with them, dad made Emmy a chair in his shop, I will post pictures of it, it's so cute. She can't use it yet, but that will be her chair when she sits at the table by herself. Beth also brought her some more "Good Night" books to add to her collection. These books are so cute. It all started with of course Good Night Moon and then I had to have Good Night Boston! LOL. Then she got Good Night Cape Cod and now she has Good Night America, Lake, and Beach which are all autographed by the author. Oh and she also got some more c-notes for the piggy bank!! This girl has more cash then me! So then last night Louie and I were playing with Emmy on the living room floor and she is trying SO hard to crawl the regular way. She just can't get her legs and arms to stay up at the same time. She is almost there though!! Well, here are the pictures of the days I missed posting. Also, I know Nana will read this once she gets better and I want her to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers. Nana, you are a tough cookie and I know you're gonna get well soon! We love you!!!!!
