Bubbles

Emma loves to blow bubbles with her mouth. I often catch her doing it at least once a day. She pauses and will stay in the same position for minutes on end. It is hilarious!  I finally caught her on camera today, even though it isn't the best quality.

Change

Sorry to disappoint, but I only have a front shot of our house for now.  I haven't taken pictures of the inside yet, but hopefully soon.  So we are enjoying our new home so much.  The girls love all the space to roam around and the backyard to play in.  It is so nice to be away from all the busyness of our apartment and enjoy some peace and quiet.  I love to open all the windows at night and just let the fresh air in.  We weren't able to even open our windows at our apartment because of all the smoke.

 Ellie is discovering how funny she is.  She will do something silly and just laugh and laugh at herself.  She enjoys that Emma is there to watch her, someone there to pay attention to her always.  She loves drawing, dinosaurs, puzzles, the color purple and her favorite movie is now The Emporer's New Groove. 

 

Matching princess pjs.

Emma is crawling now and loves to explore.  I can put her on the ground and she will entertain herself for hours.  She needs no attention and does not care at all when I leave the room. It is very nice :).  she loves to roam around our hardwood and search for leftover crumbs to eat along with pieces of carpet.  I am ashamed to say that she actually ate a fly the other day, YUCK!  She loves to eat real food now rather than baby food and she loves to get into anything.  She loves anything that she knows she is not supposed to have.             

 

Swim and Sit

 We went swimming today for the first time this year and although it was a little windy and chilly it was just nice to be outside and dangle our feet in the water.

 Emma had fun for the first time in her floaty, she was a little skeptical at first but after the initial shock she loved it.

 Wow, look at those kankles: she is my pudgy little rollie pollie, short and chubby and I love it.  So Emma is now sitting up pretty well and it is so nice.  I can just plop her down anywhere with a few toys and she is as happy as can be.

Easter

We had lots of fun this Easter, take a look....

 We had an Easter egg hunt with the people from our ward

 We dyed eggs with Aunt Laurel (WoWo)  You can tell she had fun by the huge grin on her face, plus it helped that it was a Disney princess kit.

Welcome Baby Emma

I know this was due 5 months ago, but hey, I guess better now than never.  On October 29th 2012 we welcomed baby Emma Larue into our family.  She weighed in at 6lbs 2 ounces.  She has been such a joy in our family.  She is so sweet and hardly cries or even makes a peep.  She will pretty much smile at anything or anyone, she loves people, but be careful...don't stare too long or she might cry.  I call her my little jumping bean because ever since she was born she has jumped at any little noise or movement.  It has taken Ellie a little while to get used to Emma, but now that they can somewhat interact, she is always wondering where Emma is and trying to wake her up from her naps to come play with her.  It was an adjustment, but we love having two kids and wouldn't trade it for anything.

 Ellie now has a new fascination with baby toys, of course only because Emma wants them

 Emma loves her big sister

 Classic Emma worried face.  This is probably how she looks 50 percent of the time

 She loves her hands

 Lots of giggling now
