Day 6 - This was an evening photo, hence the use of flash. I'm still playing around with how to get the best indoor pics.
Day 7 - Lots of great photos from this day. Started with a trip to the Nom Nom Truck, which I've mentioned before here.
We took our lunch to a nearby park...
...where Em lurked in the shadows...
...and played in the sand.
Aaannnndddd listened to rocks. What the?
I think she really just enjoyed the way the cold rocks felt against her cheek.
Day 8 - We took Em to a mall play area, where she mostly sat and watched in awe as the bigger kids whizzed by her. I was having some shutter speed/lighting issues, so I only got one decent photo.
Day 9 - That morning Brent got Em up from her first nap while I retrieved a load of her laundry. I came back in to find Em roaming our condo like this:
(The hand down the diaper didn't start until I started to snap a pic.)
Here's a close-up of the post-it.
Duly noted, Em. Duly noted.
Day 10 - That brings us to today. I started off by admiring Em's peaches-n-cream complexion and red hair. We still don't know what gene pool that came from.
She managed to spend the rest of the day bangin' herself up. She got a little scrape when she fell and bumped our coffee table, and then scraped her knee TWICE while at the park with Daddy. Apparently she didn't cry until the second fall.
