think pink

Emma Jane and I joined our friends for the First Ladies' Walk for Life today. It was a beautiful day and the walk took us along some of the scenic (and hilly!) streets of downtown Columbia. It was really cool to see how many people showed up to support a cause that is very important to our family and the families of countless others. I walked in honor of my special survivors...Grandma Walker, Mom, and Aunt Linda. Emma Jane was very proud to wear pink (including the handmade hairclip I made her!) and she was a trooper on the walk. She even got to meet Spiderman!

2 parks in 1 day

Emma Jane is one lucky girl. We usually go on two outings everyday. One in the morning and one in the late afternoon after her nap. Today we spent the morning in library class and then met our friends at Virginia Hylton Park. The girls love the slides and swings there. As you can see from one of the pictures, Emma Jane has already picked up one of her mama's bad habits....coffee! Don't worry, the cup was empty, but she was trying really hard to get at least a drop out. Later this afternoon we went to another walking park with Paul and Walker. Emma Jane only enjoys sitting in the stroller for a short time these days, so our walks always end with some run around playtime. Today we brought the ball!

movie magic

Okay, I don't think I've ever seen a movie that has gotten me THIS excited! Emma Jane loves her Baby Einstein movies. Since she was just 3 months old, she has giggled hysterically or stared in awe while watching her favorites. I took some pictures of her today as she watched "Neighborhood Animals" in our playroom. Even though she has seen it countless times, she never seems to tire of it. It's so much fun to watch her enjoy something so whole-heartedly.
