Atlanta Aquarium

Last Saturday we enjoyed a little family date by visiting the Atlanta Aquarium.  Emma had already been there, but had not really been able to appreciate it.  Now that she is obsessed with fish, we thought it would be fun to take her and watch her enjoy our time there.

I have been doing a terrible job taking belly pictures this second pregnancy, but this picture shows my 22 week belly quite well.  And just for record sake, my weight gain so far has been 15 lbs.

For the special occasion, Memma whipped out her sewing machine and sewed a "fish dress" for Emma to wear on her special trip.  Many people commented on how cute and appropriate her outfit was.  Sadly, we didn't take a good picture that shows off the dress.

If you've been around Emma long enough, you'll have noticed that she makes a lot of facial expressions, especially using her lips.  Who do you think she got that from?

A few fun short sentences that Emma developed during the trip were -- "pez gande" for big fish, "pez tico" for little fish, and "pez arange" for orange fish.  We did not teach her to say these, she just began saying them while we were there.
