Emma's World: September 2007

We have been really busy this month. We visited a lot of people and traveled all over the east coast. What can I say? I'm in demand.

I got to ride on a plane for the first time. A plane is basically a really big car with lots of people. Mommy and Daddy spent the entire ride entertaining me. When we got there, Mommy told me that I was really good for not crying and disturbing the other passengers. Other passengers? Silly Mommy, it is all about me.

Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Hilton and I went to Plymouth, Massachusetts first and another Uncle Mike picked us up. Mommy said it was her Uncle and my Great Uncle. I guess there are a lot of Mike's in our family. He was really funny. Uncle Mike is married to Grandma Hilton's sister, Aunt Judy. I like her. She's just like my Grandma, but she talks funny. We visited with all of her kids and their kids.

After we visited all of Mommy's family in Massachusetts, we went to Connecticut to see Daddy's family. We stayed at Grandma Morano's house. Great-Grandpa Weerden and Daddy's Aunt and Uncle and cousins came over for dinner. Aunt Tricia was there too. She's the greatest. She always has pretty jewelry for me to pull on and put in my mouth.

Did you know that there are hundreds of Morano's in Connecticut? Well, maybe not hundreds, but I can't count yet, so cut me some slack. I know this because we visited them for my Great Poppy's 80th Birthday. My second cousins, Allie and Jimmie kept me entertained for hours. They're really good listeners. I told them all about my trip so far. Great Grandpa's party was so much fun! A man with a camera took pictures of everyone. Of course, he couldn't get enough of me. Can you blame him?

My Family

We were on the East Coast for week, then we came home and left for Florida two days later. Mommy, Grandma Hilton, and I helped Uncle Mikey (my favorite one) move to Daytona Beach, Florida. We drove this time. It was a really long trip. When we got there, we helped Uncle Mike set-up his apartment and buy furniture. I told him he really needed a jumparoo, but he didn't agree. He doesn't know what he's missing. Uncle Corey came from L.A. to help too. He taught me a new trick called "Raspberries". It doesn't have anything to do with fruit, but is spitting. He knows the best stuff. After we were done with all our hard work, we got to go meet Uncle Mikey's neighbors. It was probably the greatest moment of my life. Not that I have had many life changing moments, but it was definitely up there. Uncle Mikey lives by Mickey Mouse! How cool is that! Uncle Corey said he does too, but how is that possible? It must be his summer house. Do you think Mickey Mouse is a snow bird like Uncle Butch?
