Pool!

Well, it's almost done! Our pool finally is filled with water. We now just have to put the finishing touches on it and get our final inspections - and we can swim!!! Emma and Dada couldn't resist getting their feet wet though as we started to fill the pool up. It was adorable - Emma loved playing with the hose. Enjoy some pictures of this "milestone." I've also added some pictures of Emma's last swimming lesson - where Dada got to see her show her stuff and Mama got to get in the water!

Beach Day - 14 Months!

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged! It's been an eventful past couple of weeks to say the least. We had a great Mother's Day weekend! Dada took Emma to breakfast on Saturday morning, and then we headed to the Moncello's house for a fabulous pool party! Then we headed to the beach for some rest and relaxation! Had a nice dinner, and spent Sunday by the beach. Emma Anne loved it as usual. We got some great pictures of her playing in the surf! She keeps us laughing!

I got sick last week, and found out Friday that I had Strep throat. No fun. So - Dada spent some time with Emma, and then she went to visit MeMe at the beach, and to see Granmom and Grandad in Cocoa. Mama was just too tired and sick to play with Emma - but boy do I miss her! Feeling better today - heading in to work this afternoon and to get the little angel tonight!

Emma is really trying to communicate with us - and jabbers all the time! She says the normal Mama, Dada, and hot (pronounced "ot"). She has also started saying "Uh-Oh", and the occasional cat and dog while pointing to them. It is so cute. But she just mumbles and jabbers and really tries to tell us something! It is so cute! She's running all over the place...and laughs and laughs! She will bend over and laugh she is laughing so hard...sometimes trying to imitate us! Quite a little personality!

Enjoy some great pictures!

So we've had a busy week at the McCully household! Mama had a birthday (we won't discuss the number) - and we spent last Saturday at the beach celebrating with our friends! Emma had a ball. This girl is a beach bum! She played, and played, and played...and has no fear of the waves! It was a blast! She got to visit with all of her little friends...ages ranging from 4 months to 5 years! (Caroline, Owen, Will, Collin, Hailey, Austin, Andrew, Ava, Jackson, and Connor!)

The other good news is that Emma is finally starting to enjoy and excel in her swim lessons. She actually cracked a smile 2 days in a row!!! This is much improved from screaming throughout the entire lesson! Our pool is also nearing completion...1-2 more weeks and we'll be swimming!

Emma also learned to drink from a straw this week! Exciting! She is very proud of herself - it is hilarious!

I also finally uploaded some pics from our SeaWorld trip a couple of weeks ago with some friends. They turned out SO cute...Enjoy!!!
