Auntie Danielle's Visit

Today was great! This afternoon Danielle and her mom got here at about 1:45 and we just spent the afternoon talking and playing with Emmy. They loved her of course! It was so much fun though. I couldn't believe how long it had been since I saw them. It’s so weird because Danielle and I used to be together every day when we were younger. Now we just talk online and once in while we get a phone call in. It’s almost impossible to talk on the phone and take care of a baby. Thank God for speaker phone or we wouldn’t know what the other one sounded like! So Danielle brought some presents down for Emelia and I let her open the bag, she loved playing with the paper, lol. It was an Old Navy shirt and a pink Red Sox t-shirt and shorts set, so adorable! But the other present she brought down was so amazing. It was a hard cover book she had put together for Emmy of all the pictures and the captions that go with them from MySpace and in the front she put in my journal entry on the day I found out I was pregnant and in the back there was a letter to Emmy from Auntie Danielle (that’s what she’ll call her, of course!). The front of the book was a picture of Emmy the day she came home from the hospital with “Emelia Nicole Braga” on it. It was so beautiful. One of the best things I had ever gotten in my whole life! This was also the first time Danielle met Louie! He couldn’t believe she was actually going to come visit us because we live so far. But he was so happy that she came and they were happy to meet each other…FINALLY! lol. So after I opened the gifts we took lots of pictures and some video and Emmy showed them how she can commando crawl and she jumped in her jumper. Danielle also fed her lunch, her peach, banana, and granola. It really felt like she had just gotten there when they had to leave, we hadn’t seen each other in forever, but her mom said the drive was easy and that they’d be coming down more often, which makes me very happy! So right after they left Emmy fell asleep right away. All the playing and excitement wore her out. I was so glad for the time we had though, it was great to see them, we had been trying to make plans for a long time! So when Emmy fell asleep on the couch I decided to join her and we woke up a little while later and I cleaned the house up. Then tonight Louie was playing with Emmy on the couch while I moved her toy box out of her room and into the living room (toys were beginning to get cluttered and needed some organization!) . So Louie and Emmy were playing with her toy piggy bank for a while and then he gave her a dolly to play with and just like she did when Lisa (the EI nurse) was here, she started yelling at the doll! Lol. I would LOVE to know whats going through her mind when she does this and why she doesn’t like dolls?! Lol. It’s funny because she has a soft doll, it’s plush and filled with cotton and the dolls she tends to “yell” at (lol) have those eyes that open and close, so maybe she is weirded out by them? I can’t wait until she can talk!! HAHA. I got the whole thing on video so I can show her when she’s older, LOL! Anyway, that was our day and it was a GREAT one! Good night!
