Emma’s first Easter was yesterday. She really enjoyed herself. The Easter Bunny came to Grandma’s house. She was spoiled big time. Her favorite is the Up Up Elmo. It is so cute but it when it says “Elmo wants up up” it sounds like “Emma wants up up”. Jordan is worried that she will be irritating by picking up that little saying. Brianna told me she won’t go anywhere without Elmo now. Her eyes sure lit up when she seen the Easter baskets!

We went to Great Grandma Eda and Great Grandpa Don’s for dinner. There she got to try potatoes, strawberries and a few other things. She seems to really like table food.

Great Aunt Pam was there with her little dog, Speckles. Speckles really loved Emma but Tara was pretty protective of her baby and would herd her away from Emma when she got to close. It was really funny to watch. Pam finally got down on the floor with Emma so Speckles could see what she is all about. Emma would just laugh and laugh at Speckles. She even grabbed a hold of her and tried to bite her once. I guess she thought that a wiener dog is the same thing as a hot dog. Speckles never got upset even with the rough handling. She will be good with Pam’s new grandbaby when he or she is born in August.
Jordan and Brianna and Emma went to Brianna’s family’s house after Don and Eda’s. There Emma got another Easter Basket with some really cute stuffed animals in it. The frog and duck that make sounds is just as cute as can be. Tara was a bit jealous and let it be known that the frog one should be hers, but we wouldn’t let her have it of course. There was also some M & M’s and a chocolate bunny that Emma tried. She wasn’t too sure about the M & M’s but she loved the chocolate bunny!

Tonight she was on the floor and Grandpa Kevin was blowing bubbles for her (and the cat, who likes to watch them also) when she worked herself up on her hands and knees and took one crawl before falling down on her face. The look on Jordan’s face was priceless… he just looked at her in disbelief. I bet they are at home now trying to get her to crawl again. I am sure she will be before the week is out.
