Elmo rocks, seriously!

We have the DVD where Elmo is a rockstar...literally, a rock who sings with Elmo eyes but the show tonight seriously rocked. They were some booty shaking monsters! Emma had a great time as did we. She laughed, pointed, danced, clapped, rubbed her eyes and wimpered "Elmo bye bye" when he left the stage. As did about half of the kiddoes there. It was so fun to watch her react to what she was seeing on the stage. Our seats were really good because the auditorium was smaller than I expected it to be and they cut it in half with the stage in the middle. The show was made up of songs that we all knew...Rockin' Robin, The Hustle, the Alphabet Song, etc. :) Bert came out at one point in a white leisure suit like John Travolta! lol

Emma passed out on the way home and I carried her in and laid her on her big girl bed. I took off her skirt and changed her diaper...she didn't even stir! I had to take a picture. :)


I'll try to add some pictures to this post in the morning. I had a surprise tonight too...an early Christmas present from Jon's parents...they bought me the Nikon S200 Coolpix camera that I had been eying! It took some great pictures and it wasn't at all aggravating like our other camera! Thank you for this evening and for my new camera...I adore it and it's red! :)

New Teeth and a Big Girl Bed

That is right...plural...Emma has two new teeth! I guess that explains the extreme moodiness last week. We knew she was cutting her second top tooth and it finally broke through the gum last night. Thank goodness for teething tablets and her teething necklace. We have seriously had to give her so much less Motrin this time around with the teething. Jon was looking at her tonight and noticed she has a bottom tooth on the side! Emma is offically a five chomper gal! :)

Please excuse the horrible coloring on this photo. I was way too close with the flash...Emma is definitely not that pale! She was hugging on Lizzie so I took advantage of the moment...we realized the tooth later! Can you see it?!

She also has a new big girl bed that is courtesy of Gamma & Papa (Emma's new names for Gramma & Grampa) this weekend. She has actually fallen asleep in it once and has slept all the way through the night in it three times (after being put there already asleep.) She doesn't even hop out of bed in the morning, she waits on us to come get her. She loves being able to climb up on her bed with her Boo Bunny, Lizzie and her books in the evening when we play in her room though. I have caught her in there "reading" several times.

Don't you just love the Colts bedding? We are going to keep using her bedding that Granny made because it goes with her room...pink, green and lavender but the Colts will stay on during football season! I can't believe how well she is doing with the big girl bed. She would scream every single time we tried to put her down in the crib...like please don't put me in that cage! She is now mama's little big girl and that is a little bittersweet. :)



Can you tell she just woke up? :)

Elmo Makes Music...LIVE!

So tomorrow is the big day...Emma gets to see Elmo in real life! I am not exactly sure how great our seats are but it is going to be so much fun. I wonder how Emma will react to the lights going down and seeing Elmo running around on the stage below us (I think our tickets are in the balcony.) I have been telling her for two weeks now that she is going to see Elmo in real life. She says "Elmo mama?" and grabs one of her Elmo book and hands it to me. She will so totally "get" it tomorrow night! :) I am planning on fixing her hair up with the adorable new Elmo bow I found online for the concert. I hope our camera does not choose tomorrow night to be on the fritz again! I want to have pictures of the memories we will make at Emma's 1st concert! :)

Oh yeah...tomorrow is also Emma's 17 month birthday!
