5 things about Emma


Emma was tagged by her friend Addi to share 5 things you may or may not know about her. So here goes...


















#1 Emma is a man's girl
She has always preferred men over women since she was a little girl. She would even wander off to strangers and hold her hands up for the man to pick her up. Although she adores her grandpa's the most she also has on her list of favorites Mike Jensen, Paul Griffin, and recently added Googily. The ironic part is that she does make one exception, and that is the fact that she is definitely a mama's girl.












#2 She has really cute legs


At first I thought it was just cause I was her mom that I loved her little athletic legs, but then some of my friends said something about them too and I knew it wasn't just my "mommy goggles" that had me thinking so. I just love her little calves and the fact that she is almost always bouncing.





#3 Emma still sleeps 12-13 hours a night
Glory glory hallelujah







#4 Emma is really smart and loves to learn
Besides knowing all her colors and shapes she knows over 60 different animals and species and can recognize 48 famous places and worldy wonders thanks to the National Geographic flashcards. These pictures are of Petra and Angkor Wat.








#5 She has a great sense of compassion for others "owies." Due to the many accidents and "owies" Emma has had she has developed a great sense of compassion and awareness of others pains and bumps and bruises. She hasn't stopped talking about Papa's broken arm for weeks now. She is quick to notice something that doesn't belong and always has to kiss it better. All though it is sweet, it's not so sweet when she is troubled by a zit, cold sore, or ugly mole that she knows is out of place.


The top picture is when a wrought iron gate fell on her head (her second trip to the ER) notice the bruising around her eyes. The bottom picture is days after she grabbed my chi hair straightener.


We want to tag Jaken, Kennedy, Spencer, Brooklyn, Makenzie, Kalli, Taylor Pickett, Lauren, Crew, and Cam Jensen.

She totally has really cute legs!! If they keep going like that she will have many men chasing after her when she's older. And I love that she cares so much about other's "owies." She could make anyone feel better with her darling personality.

She and Kennedy have owies in the same place. Kennedy informed me she now has 6 owies!!! Those are some big feathers! Her calves remind me of dad's. Solid!
