still having the yucks

Well, luckily Emma Kate's snotty nose only lasted about 24 hours, and she's been back to normal ever since. Mommy on the other hand has been dealing with severe congestion, sneezing, a little sore throat, and now a runny nose. I feel like it's on it's way out thank goodness, but just so relieved that Emma Kate got off so easily! :)

Daddy was recently given a tie-dye shirt from one of the volunteers at work who made them for all the guys, and Emma Kate was in love with it! So Daddy got her a pack of onesies and they had a tie-dye party at work. He made her 5 shirts, and she has been nearly obsessed with them!! She just loves holding them up and "trying them on" at least a few times a day, and this morning, when she usually cuddles with me for at last 10-15 minutes, she sat up abruptly after 2 minutes, pulled at her shirt and said "DaDa" in this sad little half-crying voice... this is what she's been doing to signal to me that she wants to play with the shirts. I'm sure she was dreaming about them all night and it was all she could think about this morning! It's too cute! We're going to have to get her some long-sleeved shirts made before too long! :)

Daddy has a stretch of days away from home for a class up in Maryland, so Mommy and Emma Kate have been hanging out together and having some "girl time." Her new thing is Finding Nemo... she knows how to turn things on, and she has a funny way of referring to it where she puts up a finger near her nose and makes a "shhhh" sound. I think she picked this up when one of the fish are sleeping and one of us went "shhhh" for her to be quiet while he slept... hahaha!

Emma Kate is getting really good with her words too, it seems like every day there is something new or something gets clearer. I still have to laugh a lot when I try to decipher some of her words though...

We're looking forward to a long weekend visit from Mimi to keep us company while Daddy is away, we're hoping to have a lot of fun and do some shopping!!! Hopefully Mommy gets better tonight!!! :) Pictures of the shirts will be coming soon!!!
