Splash Time...Oh, Nevermind.

As you might be able to tell from the pictures, our church had a little water night for the kids. The flyer said "birth to twelve," so we lathered Emmy up in sunscreen, and put her mermaid swimsuit on. The little wading pool was not happening, (I think the water was too cold!) but she did enjoy sitting in my lap loving on her duck. Emmeline also got to taste her first ever watermelon. She definitely liked it until I snatched it away from her because she was able to gum off a chunk large enough to choke on. Which she promptly did.

She also got to have her first meal in a restaurant on Sunday night - I don't count nursing while I eat. We went to Tequila Grande in Vienna, and she sat in her big girl high chair and ate broccoli and cereal. Once she had that experience, there's no holding her back. She got to eat out again on Monday for Uncle Alex's birthday dinner. Having a big girl dinner with Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Alex, Aunt Katie, Blake and Sebastian was SO exciting.

Truly, though, it is this picture that captures the weekend, and her attitude generally. This was taken at Wegman's; she's so cool. So casual. So grown up. My silly monkey and her baby doll.
