Updates, short and sweet

Our computer is not worth struggling with these days so I finally set up blogging
from my phone (can't change the page layout, so excuse the mess and lack of current photos). But I think it's due time for an update.



Emery- he is 6 months and 20 lbs, and just cut his first tooth this weekend... A top one just like Adelaide! Started eating banana, avocado, sweet potatoes, yogurt, and loves sucking and gumming melon balls. Has been sitting up since 5 months and tries to jump right off our laps. Such a happy boy, always grinning and yelling and laughing. Adores Adelaide and squirms with excitement anytime he sees her. He loves swimming in the morning and sometimes takes his nap by the pool. Loves being worn, by both dad and mom.














Adelaide- she is potty trained! Just over 2 years and only wears diapers at night and during very long outings when I'm alone w both kiddos. She can sing! On key too! Already has memorized twinkle little star and the abc song. Still doesn't play much with toys, loves books and playing in the cupboards though. She helps me a ton! With dishes, baking, with emery, watering our plants, picking up...I know she'll be a great oldest child. She loves swimming and coloring and painting and play doh. She has a temper and we are working on bringing it under control. She loves her little brother and is patient for the most part when I'm occupied with his needs. She's talking in sentences and already asks so many questions. She's starting to pick up on colors and shapes. All of a sudden she's become a little attached to me, which I love! Usually she's so independent so I love seeing that she notices when I'm not around, if that makes sense.





(in this picture she lined all of her toys up and told them to pee in the grass...she's helping Olivia the pig out by holding her over the grass)
