I took Emily to chick-fil-a for lunch today. She got a 4 piece nuggets, side of fruit and a juice box for $2.15. Not bad! One of the employees carried my food to the table for me and brought out a high chair for us. So appreciated! Emily has never had a juice box before so it took her a bit to figure out what it was. It was her first time to have applejuice too. She was pretty excited about it at first but then pushed it aside once I showed her the side of real fruit. They also had an employee dressed up in a cow costume and Emily thought that was very amusing. Overall it was a great lunch. If we ever need to eat lunch out together again this is definitely where I will take her!

The neighborhood pool is closed on Mondays so I decided to take Emily to the splash pad and park instead. I was a little worried that it would be too hot but once we got wet on the splash pad the park didn't feel too bad.

Emily got her clothes dirty playing outside before her nap. So I quickly changed her into this onesie before putting her down. It has been a long time since I've seen her in a onesie. She looked so cute that I decided I needed to get a picture. I turned on her music toy in hopes of a smile, and then when I got out the camera she started dancing!

It has been way too long since I have posted new pictures and an update on Emily. If you haven't heard already we are expecting Baby Lesem #2 on December 27th! We had a genetic ultrasound screening last week and the baby looks great and is very healthy. I have been feeling great and I've found the pregnancy to be pretty easy so far except for feeling a little more tired than usual. So, I have spent more of my free time these past few months resting than working on blog posts. The new baby is already cramping Emily's style:) But now that I have entered the second trimester I'm hoping to have a little more energy for picture taking and blog entries. Quick update on Emily...she is starting to talk! So far we have dada, mama, no no, more, ball, baby, bye bye, hot, up and boat. Grandpa taught her "boat" this weekend while we were at the lake house. And Mimi has been working with Emily to say "up" when she wants my mom to hold her and Emily finally said it this weekend. We had a great time at the lake this weekend. We took Emily on her first boat ride on Saturday. It didn't go quite as well as we hoped but I blame the life jacket that she has to wear. As you can see it isn't the most comfortable fit. And clearly all the layers of sun protection we had on her didn't help the situation. I know that she will soon love the lake but we aren't there just yet. We headed back to Houston this morning and then went over to my parents' house to celebrate father's day and also my Dad's birthday. Overall it was a weekend filled with lots of good company and good food and Emily got to spend lots of time with her Dad, both her grandfathers and her great grandfather. Happy Father's Day to you all!
