Emmy has a little congestion that has appeared the last few days, and she's graciously shared it with me. She doesn't seem very bothered by it, but she does have a little rattling sound when she breathes sometimes. So, I have attempted to use the nasal aspirator, AKA the snot sucker, to help relieve her of the congestion. Either it's not so bad that she needs anything relived, or I'm very inept at using the aspirator, because usually all that happens is I make her madder than a hornet. Some saline drops have helped a little, but if you think the aspirator alone makes her mad, you should ask her how she feels about the saline drops. May I suggest ear plugs when you do so.
This past Saturday we took a trip down I-20 to meet "Aunt Sarah" for lunch at the Blue Willow Inn. Yum! She really wanted to see us and wasn't able to get here anytime soon for a visit, so she asked if we could meet halfway, so off we went! It was a quick trip so we could get back for nap time, but it was a fun trip. The food was delicious and it was good to catch up. Emmy loved looking at the fish in the pond outside.
On the way to Social Circle, where the inn is located, Charles noticed a big field of sunflowers along the interstate. Seriously, a sea of yellow. So on the way home, we got off at the exit right there and decided to try really fast to see if we could get a picture. Sure enough, the first right was a road that ran through the field so we stopped to take a picture. Yes, this does indeed mean we are undeniably related to Charles' Dad. :) Hopefully, we did him proud.
Emmy is in love with ceiling fans and light fixtures. She smiles at them and sticks her little tongue out when she does, which is super cute. She's particularly fond of fans. Turn a fan on when she's looking at it and her face lights up. She is also in love with the painting that hangs over our sofa in the living room.
I sit there to nurse her frequently and she will stop eating sometimes to smile, laugh, and talk to the painting. The other night during dinner we had her laying on her boppy, facing the back of the sofa and she just sat there and smiled at the painting. It was painted for us by our friend Jocelyn when we moved into this house. We love it, but now it's even more special! Perhaps this means Emmy is going to be an art critic? Above is is a picture of her earlier today smiling at the painting, and a picture of the painting itself. It has been hard to catch a good photo since usually I'm too close to her, but I tried!
