What We've Been Up To....

The other night I took this picture of Emma who fell asleep with Scott's wristband he wears for his softball games. She loves to play with it.
Her hair is getting long in the back. We got her "first" haircut a few months back and it took all the baby fine/frizzy hair off and is allowing her hair to grow fast. I was able to put her hair in a ponytail the other night.  
 She was being silly that night after bath time and kept wanting us to put more bows in her hair. She had like four in at one time. She went through a stage where she would pull the bows out as soon as we put them in, but now they do not bother her!!
Today when we got home she decided she wanted to pack her lunch for tomorrow. She loves to sit on the counter and play in our candy dish. She wanted to take Easter egg bubblegum and Easter egg malt balls to school tomorrow. Don't think so Em.
She has recently decided she does not want to drink milk. She use to love drinking it, but will shake her head no when offered milk. She even does it to her teachers. So I went today and got some strawberry syrup to put in her milk. She drank it once I added this to it. I read that the unhealthiness of the syrup is not that big of a deal in the big scheme of things..........it's more important that she is drinking milk, so if I have to add flavoring to it than that's what I will have to do.
She loves applesauce and yogurt, but really loves Trix yogurt. I have been buying the swirly kind with two different flavors.
She is in a stage where if she can get her hands on a fork, spoon, or in the picture below (the Trix yogurt mixer), she wants to feed herself. She is becoming such a big girl. Excuse the blurry picture. It was taken on my phone and she does not like to sit still for long.
Scott added to her Disney collection yesterday when they went to Target. She has several now and we are looking forward to watching them with her down the road. We are trying to get them before they go back into the vault.
We have had a busy but good week with our sweet girl!! Scott is giving her a bath now and then I am going to snuggle with her!
