Not what I ordered

No, I did not order a "Devil Cat" from Harvey's.

This is what I ordered and I LOVE it! It's a Harvey's Seatbelt Bag. I saw a lady with one and could not resist asking her where she got it and have been wanting one ever since. No retailers in San Antonio, so I had to order it online (God, I love the internet, Thanks Al Gore for inventing it). It's made from seat belts (duh!) and comes in many colors and styles. This is the black large tote. Durable, big, easy to clean...what more could a working mom want? Maybe another bag.....

My Easter Bunny

This past Easter, we went out for a wonderful brunch at the Onmi. The spread was awesome and went on forever. Emerson enjoyed being out and really enjoyed her Yo Baby! Strawberry Banana yogurt. And she needed it because of all the antibiotics she's been on. Here's Emerson and her dad, full of good stuff!

Emerson didn't quite know what to make of the Easter Bunny.

Emerson and Mommy....Emerson looks fine, Mommy could use a nap! Mommy is NOT used to drinking mimosa's in the morning!


It was a candy-free Easter. The Easter Bunny left Emerson bunny and duck puppets, a pink rubber ducky for the bath, plastic eggs and plastic bunnies filled with barrettes and a sweet little patchwork bunny to play with. The plastic eggs were a big hit! She also got a sweet Easter Pooh book and beautiful pink sundress from Miss Angela. Thank You Angela, for always thinking of Emerson. She also got a sweet white bunny that "clucks" from her Tio Aurelio and Daelin. The candy that came with it has somehow gone missing!

Clean Bill

Emerson visited the pediatrician today for her follow-up to her never ending ear infection and got a clean bill of health. Ears look good, so no ENT for now. The last antibiotic she was on was hard on her tummy, but she made it and now doesn't have to go back til she is 18 months!

Beso

Emerson is now a kisser. She kisses all her stuffed animals, all the pictures in her books and would kiss the cats if they'd let her. The other day she gave me 22 kisses in a row! Sometimes her kisses are closed mouth, sometimes they are open mouth, sometimes they involve drool and sometimes a little snot. There's no rhyme or reason to how she gives a kiss....just whatever strikes her fancy at that moment. But no matter how she gives a kiss, it is ALWAYS awesome!

Yummy pink yogurt & Gummy pink eye

Emerson LOVES to "feed" herself. She does well with certain foods,such as goldfish crackers or teddy grahams. But as you can see, she has a little trouble with food that require a utensil. So she just resorts to the "hands-on" method with her original utensils and gets most of it in. Most, not all. As you can see, some does not make it into her mouth. But, all the better to finger paint with.

In other news, Emerson has been sick a lot the past 4-6 weeks and has been on antibiotics twice. She finished a course of antibiotics last Sunday and was doing great until this past weekend. She wasn't feeling herself, she vomited a few times (Sorry Dena!), was running low grade fevers and was very, very, VERY clingy. She had a scheduled MD appointment today as a follow up from her last ear infection and it was a good thing as the poor girl woke up with her eye's plastered shut, ala pink eye. So we un-plaster her eyes and head off to the pediatrician to find out that not only does Emerson have pink eye, she is starting ANOTHER ear infection! The pediatrician threatened us with the ENT, but we talked her into one more chance. Emerson has only had 4 ear infections in 16 months, and I don't think this is excessive for a daycare baby, so we are hoping this latest round of antibiotics takes care of the ear infections for the season and we don't have to add another specialist to Emerson's repertoire.
On a positive note, the girl has gained a pound since she was last weighed. I plotted her most current weight on the chart and while she is still underweight, she's not as underweight as before. We'll just keep up the Yo Baby....she needs it in more ways than one!

Blue, purple & green

What happens when Daddy dresses her.

At least her shoes and bow match.
