Karson & Emma

Karson LOVES his baby sister! He wants to be around her all the time!

Recently he's been learning capitals at school and we do a lot of "What's the capital of Ohio" and on and on...

Well he said this and I LOVED it and had to share!
K: "Mom, what's the capital of Emma?"
Me: "Um, Emma doesn't have a capital she's a baby."
K: "Nope. The capital of Emma is Adorable."
He's adorable!
And the other day he said "I would kick myself in the head if it made Emma smile!"
LOVES her!
She's a squirming, jumping, crazy baby! Here is Karson trying to keep her on his lap at Aubree's swimming lessons and loving every minute of it!

Sit'n Pretty

4 1/2 months

This crazy baby is sitting by herself for quite a while before either folding in half or rolling on her side.

Like her Dr said at her last appt, she looks like she's 6 mos, so maybe she thinks she should act like she's 6 mos!

What's new

Emma started on solids last week. As to be expected, most of the cereal ended up on her face and bib!
This was the first time, she actually likes it now even though she looks disgusted with it in these pictures!

These are in honor of the big Patriots' playoff game tomorrow!
Also, any time I can incorporate a giant tutu into her outfit it's gonna happen! :)

Her head is a little chopped off on this one but she has such a darling smile I had to include it!

Christmas

As usual, the kids got WAY more then they needed!

My kinda of Christmas morning, we didn't get up until 8!

To keep up the tradition, Santa got something for the fishtank. The Krusty Krab is the newest addition.

Karson got an electric keyboard with a microphone and a new bike helmet for his newly renovated bike, and tons of other stuff!

Aubree got a new bike, she has refused to learn how to ride until now. She also got a Shark Air Swimmer. If any of your children or husbands wanted one of these, DON'T! I can't go into details as not to offend Santa, but the fact that there are no pictures of it will clue you in! :)

Emma enjoyed her first Christmas by playing with her new baby gym.

The mess at 9:49 am

Probably because Aubree is 8, it only took her about 20 min to get the bike riding down thanks to Ryan!

Grammy surprised the kids on Monday morning and got to spend the week.
We went to the Zoo, which is really pathetic and should not be called a zoo.

But the kids had fun, and there aren't a lot of options for kids in LV.

And last, but certainly not least, FINALLY some pictures of Emma SMILING!
