B's

I got to thinking about what I could possibly say about Emry this week. Not that I couldn’t skip a week (and have and will) because, honestly, I post enough about her as it is. (But the grandparents love it…) When I looked back over my pictures and thought about what she’s been up to, I realized they all started with the letter B.

Balloons – we went to a going away party for a family at church this past weekend and the hosting family had balloons for decoration. As you might imagine, Emry and her little “gang” (fellow “students” in her Sunday School class) were quite delighted with this. And as Emry is a special favorite of the host family…well, they let us take a balloon home.

Bubbles – something we really like to play with outside with Mama. It’s one of those things it takes a little while to figure out you can’t catch but after the initial disappointment discover that that’s really okay – they’re just as much fun to pop! However, Mama has learned that she will never be able to wash out Emry’s mouth with soap. Since we haven’t figured out how to blow at the wand, we just pop it in our mouth – and like it.

Bouncy seat – given to us by a an older couple at church whose granddaughter (a month older than Emry) didn’t care to use, it gets lots of use at our house. For not only does it bounce up and down like a ride at an amusement park, it also has lots of bright colors and plays music. Amidst all the fun, Mama and Papa are also hoping it gives us the idea that feet and legs are meant to be used to stand on.

Bug bite  - we do not have a picture for this one, but it should be noted that we have gotten our first bug bite. Doubtless, it shall be followed by many more.
