Emily in Pictures

Emily's bath always gets her wound up.



Look at that crazy hair!

Emily can now stand up without assistance!



But she still prefers driving to walking.

Emily helps out with the gardening.



She has her own methods.



She answers the hose as if it were a phone.



You can see that she's soaked.



Then she tries to have a drink.



When she's finished gardening, she lets herself inside.

Emily visits Aldridge Gardens.



She investigates what the brigde tastes like.



Then she wonders about getting in the water.



She gets her chance soon enough.



This time, she just dips in her toe to test it.



Emily gazes out across the lake.



She plays pattycake in the grass.



Later, she investigates something she found among the flowers.



She discovers pine cones near the tulips.



It's time for a rest.



But the rest doesn't last long.



Emily comes upon yet another chance to get wet.



It's exciting just thinking about the prospect.



She points to something, asking Grampa what it is.



Grampa acts as a guardian against Emily's temptation.



It's almost as if she's aware of her cuteness.



Emily dances with a rabbit.



Then she reads about his sculptor.



Grammy and Emily say goodbye to the rabbit.

Emily listens to music at the Lebanese Food & Cultural Festival.



She points out the dancers to Mommy.



Emily wants to dance too.

Emily enjoys her first marshmallow Peep.



She carefully pulls it apart into baby-sized bites.



The dissection turned out to be more fun than the actual consumption.



Luckily, Emily has a better attitude about her ride-on cart today.

We're sick of this kid. We're shipping her to New Hampshire.



Ooh, look at that pout!

Emily eyes her daddy's old rocking horse.



She prepares to mount.



Ride 'em, cowgirl!

It's been an exhausting vacation.

Dad and Emily watch sea lions training at the zoo.



Mommy shows Emily the elephants.



A giraffe sticks out its tongue.



Aunt Kim takes charge over stroller duty.



She and Emily visit a cow.



The family gets up close and personal with a lorikeet.



It's time for another picnic.



Jeff and Emily go for a crawl.



That Uncle Jeff sure is goofy.



The fountain is so tempting.



Chocolate chip cookies are also tempting.



Dad gets ready to hoist Emily.



The family takes a walk by the river.



The sunset made for a lovely scene.



Emily leapt from the arms of one person to another to another.



The lights glow as we make our way out of the park.



Maybe Mommy would like some flowers.



Emily plays with her cousin, Muddy.

Emily visits the playground during a morning walk.



Back at the house, she shows off her cuteness.



She tries a bite of Dad's giant burrito.



Then she heads off for a stroll through the Horseshoe.



Returning to the picnic blanket, Emily snacks on goldfish crackers.



Uncle Jeff takes her for a tour.



It's a beautiful day to be outside.



Emily does some more exploring.



She hands Uncle Jeff every leaf she finds.



And she gets to take a ride on his shoulders.



Back to the blanket again for some juice.



Aunt Kim tries unsuccessfully to get Emily to walk.



But Emily would rather squirm.
