Happy 2nd birthday sweet girl! I can't believe Emma Tucker is two. It seems just like yesterday that we found out we were having a girl! It is amazing how much she is growing up since she has turned two. Well, actually tomorrow is her birthday. This morning Brandon went to get her up out of bed and she was standing in the middle of her room. She had climbed out of her bed! I guess she just wanted to let us know that she wanted a new bed for her birthday. Needless to say, she got one. We went to Babies r Us and bought her a toddler bed. I am so proud of her because she did not make a scene tonight when switching to her new bed. I am so nervous about what she might get into not being in her crib anymore. Everytime I checked back in on her she was in her new bed, but she had more stuff in her bed with her. She kept piling more pillows, stuffed animals and books into bed with her. I so want to go and check on her, but I think I was keeping her from sleeping. Here is a picture of her in her new bed!
Today was Emma Tucker's birthday outing since Brandon has to work tomorrow. We got up early this morning and headed to Cleveland to go to Baby Land General. Marcie, Max and Mason met us up there for the day. We got to see a Cabbage Patch doll being born and they named it Christine Emma. We kept yelling Emma's name hoping they would name it after her. Marcie thought I should buy it for Emma Tucker since she saw it being born and it was named after her. You can choose their hair color, eye color, etc. However, it would have cost $210 so we let her pick out another one. She told Max if they ever had a little girl they would do that. Max thought otherwise. Initially, Emma Tucker picked out twin baby dolls, but we got her another one that was named Lauren Lola. She had a lot of fun running around the place and seeing the dolls. I have attached some pictures from Babyland General. We then went back to Gainesville to eat at a Japanese restaurant. The kids did really well, but you should have seen all the rice on the floor when we left. Brandon looked down at one point and realized his salad was in his lap and on the floor. It didn't even faze him. Walker had grabbed a handful of lettuce and thrown the plate on the floor. After we finished eating we had cupcakes for her birthday celebration (which she loved). I let her have another one tonight after dinner and it was all over her stomach, face and arms by the end of it. We had a really great day and it marked the end of our summer fun. Tomorrow I am going to take breakfast to Emma Tucker's Sunday School class so she will think she is having a little party for her birthday. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Reagan and Levi's birthday party.
