Dancing Emmy!

Here is the promised video of our little one busting a move! Note the arm swinging, a special talent of hers! She is such a dancing queen! She dances to anything that resembles music, even Papa's singing! There are several styles of dance that she has mastered - we'll just name a few, the arm swinging (daddy calls it the pirate dance), a bootylicious dance where she swings her hips like crazy (mommy calls it the rump-shaker, and it is usually saved by Emmy for special music, like church hymns), and the occasional happy feet moment (a move she has adapted from her cousin Ty). I love how she dances, although it is quite funny to watch, I love that she feels free to express her happiness any way the little dancer inside her feels to!




Emmy has become quite the big girl lately! She is a chatterbox! She has been repeating almost anything we say (including the occasional almost bad word like freakin' and crap!). It is so fun to watch her language develop.





We bought some new dresses on clearance at the Gap this weekend, and when I put one on her for church, she felt so 'pretty' we just had to take pictures. So, she climbed on Mommy's bed and .......
First she stood so pretty and still


Then she got antsy, so we sang a song (this little candle light of mine - papa's favorite)

then she started dancing - note the arm swinging as previously mentioned!

so we decided to wrap it up with one last cute shot!!!

She is so much fun! We just love her!

That weird/pirate/arm swinging dance move of hers never ceases to make me laugh.

She's a real cutie. How old now? Thanks for thinking I'm a cute pregnant girl. Yeah, I can still pack it away. Remember Timmy the tapeworm? HA!
