What daddy does, Emma does

Emma loves to follow anh An around and copy him, like a little monkey!
She also likes to take his spot. Like if he is on his way to sit in his computer chair, she'll jump in it before he gets there. Then daddy takes her little green chair and sits in it, and she'll tell him to get off of it, so that she can sit on it.

If Daddy is laying on the ground, so is Emma.
If daddy is at the piano, Emma is at the piano.

"daddy! STOP!! Mommy sees us."

Nesting

With less than 2.5 weeks to go until Baby comes, it's quite normal for a mom to 'nest'. Normally this means cleaning house, packing for baby, prepping for baby. I think I've been backwards nesting. Yes, I have packed my baby bag, and have laundered the boy clothes (both new and borrowed), but I haven't really sorted them or put them away or chosen a 'first outfit' for when we leave the hospital (of course, Emma was so little, that the 'newborn' sized outfit was too big). Anh An has been doing great things, like finding the swing, putting together the basinet, packing HIS bag :).

I've been making things for Emma. I think that I don't want her to feel bad that another baby is coming into the house. Yes, she points to my belly and says 'em' and then points to herself and says 'chi', but I don't think she gets it. So at night, after Emma is sleeping, I make her things. Hair things! I bought 100 hair rubberbands from Target, and I have unlimited ribbon, and this awesome glue called unique stitch, so I've been making her little bows and gluing them to the rubber band. Will she realize that I've made her hair ties for every outfit? Probably not! But...It makes me feel a little better.



I also went and got my hair cut! I was going to wait until after having Baby, but my hair was so long, and like I said, backwards nesting! I probably won't have much time for upkeep when I have two babies, so it's best that I chop it off now. (sorry about the shiny face..but the apartment had no A/C!)

Here are a few sassy pictures of my Emma (in her skinny jeans). She is totally into kicking off her shoes and trading them for flip flops!

"hey baby!" BTW, Emma loves to pose in front of the mirror, showing off her backside.

"I know I'm cute."

wake-up face

Whenever Emma wakes up, she is rip-roaring-ready to go. She's a chatter box, smiles at you, smiles at the good world, just talks and talks. So, I tried getting a video of her waking up from today's nap. ummm..totally disproves everything I've just written. Hope it makes you laugh!

Weight liftin'

Emma and her daddy love to wrestle! Lately, Anh An has been adding some weight training to his exercise by playing airplane with Emma at night time. I love the end where Emma gives daddy a kiss.
