Playa, Playa

So, Emmanuel usually has at least one playdate a week.  Lately, he's had two or three in one day.  His good friend, Bella, just moved about three minutes away...so we are able to get together more often, which is really a blessing!  

The title of this post comes from my friend, Nicholl, who called Emmanuel a "playa, playa" because he had two playdates in one day.  Nicholl is crazy funny, and I love her to pieces!  So, this post is in honor of her :)  


(NOTE:  this picture has nothing to do with his playdates...we took this at the library--I just thought that I would include it!) 


Emmanuel hung out with Alex, who is 7 months older than he is (although I am sure that you can tell that Alex is in the 90th percentile for his age and Emmanuel is in the 10th percentile for his age!)  I really admire Alex's mom a lot.  We met professionally about two years ago, and our professional relationship has grown into a great friendship.  Alex and Emmanuel played nicely together, and Alex has so many toys!  Emmanuel didn't know what to do with himself.  It was a ton of fun!  


We headed to Westminster, MD to hang out with Alana's kids, Lukas (3 years old) and Corrinne (20 months).  Emmanuel just LOVED Lukas (of course, my son LOVES older kids...notice that he plays mostly with older kids.)  Lukas was really sweet with Emmanuel and played games with him while we ate lunch.  Lukas is also a great big brother to Corrine.  

Emmanuel loves to tickle feet.  I think that I started this habit because one day when he is in his high chair fussing, I tickled his feet to provide a distraction.  So, now, we tickle feet all the time.  My silly boy!  He had fun tickling Corrine's feet.  


And, he's learning to give hugs.  We've been giving kisses for quite some time, but we've just learned about hugs.  Alana's kids really like to hug.  

And no playdate post would be complete without talking about our Bella Boo!  I hope that these two are friends for many years to come. 



Jamie and I have been eyeing this toy for a long time...and Bella finally got it as a gift from her G-Daddy (He is hilarious!)  A toy for Bella means that Lil' E gets to play with it, too!  Thanks G-Daddy Whitaker!  

Well, there you have it!  Emmanuel and his friends.
