Emma being Emma

If you've ever met Emma you would know that she can be really silly.  There isn't a day that goes by without her doing something goofy; therefore, I've titled this post "Emma being Emma". 

 

These pictures were taken with my phone.

Emma trying on her old coat (size 12 months).  I kept telling her that it is now Ana's but she still wanted to wear it:

Here we go again in the baby jumper:

This is what happened when I left Emma unattended with a box of markers:

Ana - Gummy Smile

I better take lots of gummy smiles because it won't be long before Ana starts teething.

 

Day with Aunt Jan

Aunt Jan came over and spent the day with us last Wednesday.  We had a lot of fun and Emma really enjoyed reading with her and playing "kitchen".  We also went on a nice walk and took advantage of the great fall weather (which was really warm that day).

 

Here's aunt Jan reading to Emma:

Ana - Eating Cereal

Ana is officially eating solid food (poor thing, it is my fault that I didn't start her earlier) and of course she loves it. I had to give her a second portion the first time she had cereal because it wasn't enough. 

 

And it didn't take her long to feed herself.  She kept grabing the spoon with both hands every time I fed her.

Emma - Painting a Pumpkin at the Market

Almost every Saturday morning Cameron takes Emma over to our local farmer's market.  Emma really enjoys going there.  She likes to visit the cat that is displayed by the Humane Society and buy home-baked dog treats for Atenas, she also likes to listen to the local band playing music near the food court.  Today they had a booth for painting pumpkins.

 

Seems like Emma had a great time with the craft.

Girls - Playing with the Leaves

After our walk this morning, we decided to play with our neighbor's leaves for a while (our front trees still have plenty of leaves left that we will have to rake later).  Ana watched Emma goofying around with the leaves.  I can see it in her face that she can't wait to get up and start playing with her big sister. 

Emma was having a blast. 

 

I think Emma had a great time!

Ana - Cheeks

What is the one thing that people say when they see Ana for the first time?

 

"Wow, look at those cheeks!"

 

Ana - Drinking Juice

Daddy decided that Ana was old enough to get a taste of juice. I think she liked it.

 

Ana - 6 Months

Ana is now six months old. She is definitely trying to keep up with everything going on around her. Ana loves her older sister and it is fun seeing them interact with each other. Ana is sitting up, rolling all over, laughing and "talking".  We love Ana so much and is a joy and a blessing having her around.
