Emma is finally feeling better and what better way to show it than by dressing up and performing Frosty the Snowman, complete with top hat and broomstick!
they heard him holler "STOP"!
We spent some time on the patio this afternoon...
Emma serenaded us with Christmas carols and Justin Bieber...
Elyse just loved walking in her walker...
Love those eyes...
Emma being Emma...
Hold on Sissy... Grandma forgot a button...
And guess what you can be Jessie, okay Sissy...
Last but not least...
I had to tell Elyse it is inappropriate to play patty cake while eating mixed veggies...
It's wayyyy too messy!

It's been one month of blogging and I am loving every minute of it...

January 30, 2011


It's a black and white kind of day...
It matches our moods around here and the dreary weather all around us...
Not much to say except that sickness is all around us...
I'm ready for it to go away....
Just a few random pictures from throughout the day...

Happy 7 months to Elyse!
You weigh 20 pounds and sit up on your own....
You can say "dada" and "hey there"
Sometimes we swear you say words but are not positive...
Your new thing is to make patty cake...
You love to clap your hands and slap them on your leg...
You absolutely adore your sister and will look around for her...
Sometimes she does aggravate you but you get her back by pulling her hair...
You LOVE Word World...
Daddy and I use that sometimes as a way to get things done around the house.
When you hear them say "school" you turn and are glued to it for the entire time...
You love to chew anything you can get your hands on...
Toys, blankets, fingers, strings, you name it - you can chew it...
We change your bib several times a day because you drool so much...
You have two teeth... You can see your teeth when you smile...
You are now an expert in the walker...
Today you went in Mommy and Daddy's room without any assistance...
Three minutes later you were at your sister's door...
We now keep the doors closed...
It is so hard to believe that you were this little only seven months ago...
Here is Big Sister Emma...
She has been sick with some virus and not feeling good...
Today she is finally fever free and able to play with Elyse...
And our newest addition to the family...
Nathan Parker Oubre was born Friday, January 28.
He is my fourth boy godchild and shares his birthday with my first godson.
He is beautiful and doing wonderful.
Congrats to Nanny Sherrie and Parran Bryan...

We had a great field trip today at the Children's Museum in Hammond.
Emma made an art masterpiece...
Check out my dress-up clothes... Bravo...
Emma and her school friends and Mrs. Emily...
Emma in the ambulance wearing scrub pants...
We came home and Emma wasn't feeling well...
Baby Sister on the other hand just wants to eat everything...
Here she is trying to get out the back doors onto the porch...
Please let me out there...
Notice no socks...
This girl can take socks and shoes off so fast...
While I cooked dinner she played with a strainer and measuring cup...
And while she ate she chewed on the rice cup...
Poor Emma finally ate two biscuits, she still isn't feeling good...

We still haven't seen Baby Nathan, hopefully tomorrow I can go and post a picture of him...

You wouldn't think that Emma had fever and vomiting...
Here she is all camped out in her bed with the dvd player, crayons, and color book...
Baby sister has learned how to maneuver in the walker, she is all over now...
See what I mean... Mom, I wanna check out facebook too!
And she's under the exersaucer...

Hopefully tomorrow we will have a new family member to post a picture or two of...

Is there any mail today?
First time eating puffs...
She isn't all that sure if she can have what's in Daddy's hands...
Hmmm.... What exactly is this?
On all fours, rocking back and forth, it's only a matter of days...
Emma checking out the pictures she took on my small camera...

Playing with her piano...
I LOVE these chunky little hands...
Emma is definitely my child. She LOVES to take pictures...
Again, seeing what her pictures look like...
Elyse was attacking Emma's babydoll...
