Frozen Fun

A couple days ago I gave Emily a Mr. Freeze/Ice Pop/Flavor Ice (whatever you grew up calling it) for the first time. She licked the top a few times and then abandoned it to melt on the table. It's going to take a little practice on that one. ;o)

Last night I thought it would be fun to give Emily an ice cream bar for the first time. She LOVED it and ate almost the whole thing! She definitely preferred the ice cream part over the chocolate coating, which she either picked off or spit out. It made a tremendous mess, but it was funny to watch. Check out the May video player for the video version.

However...I put Emily to bed at the normal time (7:30pm) in the normal way. At 9:00pm she was still (as in this had been going on for quite some time) literally bouncing off the sides of her crib. I could hear all sorts of movement and squeaks. Then I'd hear, "Jumpin'...Bounce...Funny!" along with many other random sounds and words. She fussed for a bit around 9:15pm and all was quiet by 9:30pm. I don't think she'll be ready for a "big girl" bed any time soon. Maybe we'll have to double-think giving her ice cream like that right before bed, too. ;o)
