Mootzie's new trick

My dad kept Mootzie on Monday for us. When I got home he couldn't wait to show me her new "trick." He handed her the water bottle. She took and drink and then when she was finished let out a big ol "AHHHH." That little toot! I almost spewed the water I was drinking right out of my nose. So now thanks to her Mufasa, Emrie cannot take a drink without saying AHHHH when she's finished. It's just too funny!

Emrie is also trying so hard to walk. She pulls up on everything and then walks along the side of the furniture (holding on of course). She has a walker but she refuses to sit in it. Instead, she likes to hold on and walk behind it. She's made it all the way across the living room without falling down. She also got this little scooter thing for Christmas (in picture). It's supposed to help her walk...she prefers to eat it.

Spellcheck anyone?

This sign was posted in the elevator at Texas A&M University. Read closely. CAUCION?! Really? Good grief. Please tell me this sign was not posted by an A&M grad!

Blurry Picture

I snapped this picture of sweet little Mootzie this morning. She's feeling much better by the way. I know it's blurry but the look on her face was so cute I had to share it anyway. I love it! She's like..."I didn't do it! Come on Mom. Look at my face. Would I lie to you?"

Late Night Snack

With Emrie out of commission (home sick with a virus) Brian did the grocery shopping for me. He did pretty well considering he refuses to use a list! Anyhoo, he picked up two pints of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I just had a quick, itty bitty sample of a new flavor called Late Night Snack. I LOVE IT! It's my new favorite and I didn't even have to wait til late tonight to have some!!! For those of you who doubt my taste buds try it for yourself. It's vanilla bean ice cream with a caramel swirl and chocolate covered potato chip clusters. Can I get a big YUM?!

Another sick day...

Last week Brian had a terrible stomach virus...then Aiden came home with it on Friday...and NOW Mootzie has it. She's thrown up several times and has diarrhea. Not a fun day. She just woke up from a 3 hour nap and she seems to be feeling somewhat better. No throwing up since before lunch and she's only had one really big, bad poopy diaper since around 11am...of course she's been sleeping so now that she's up and mobile again that could all change real fast.

We've been hanging out together all day. Just finished watching the new Footloose movie. Emrie was not impressed. I have to agree with her. There's only room for one Rin McCormick...and that's Kevin Bacon.

Just snapped this picture of her in her exer-saucer. She's just not feelin' it today.

Emrie and Her Mufasa

Look at those two! What a pair. These are the two smiling faces that greeted me Friday after a long day of work! Emrie spent the day with her Mufasa (my dad). They had just come back from a walk and were chillaxin' in the garage when I pulled up.

Daddy said they had just gotten back from their third stroll of the day. Right now she's content to ride BUT it won't be long before she's walking...and running! Then it'll be fun to see who takes who for a stroll!

Mootzie and her daddy!

I was trying to get another picture of Mootzie in her new spring attire this morning but that little toot would not sit still. So, as she and Brian were about to walk out the door on their way to "big school" I snapped this picture. You can't really tell but she's sporting her Grandma Gives the Best Hugs onesie with her itty bitty white capri pants. Such a cutie. So is dad.

She was in the best mood this morning. She's been trying to walk...well, kind of. She hates actually sitting in her walker but she enjoys holding on to it and scooting along next to it. Scares me to death. I just know that thing is going to roll away and she's going to fall face first! She is brave. Mommy is not!
