Happy Birthday to my babies

Emma dear,

Is officially 2 and loves to say “me do it”

She is a sucker for her blanket.  If you hold it in front of her you can make her do anything.  

She is becoming a pro at her 12 piece farm puzzle, and 24 piece ocean puzzle. 

She loves to sit on the table at dinner time and look at herself in the mirror. 

She LOVES Baby Einstein video’s and knows how to turn on and unlock the iTouch, find the videos icon, and turn on her favorite video. 

Carter dear,

As we  drive around listening and dancing to one of my favorite songs by Taylor Swift  I often hear a sweet little voice coming from the carseat in the back singing the words to the song perfectly. 

He is an amazing climber.  I often find him 4 shelves up in the pantry getting himself a treat or a piece of gum. 

At the end of every book he still says “amen”.

And we can’t forget about his awesome dance moves.

Really wish I knew how to rotate a video.

They both LOVE their blankets and know how much it means to each other so when one of them is crying or sad the other one runs to find the blanket.   They even offer up their own blanket if the other one can’t be found.  Watching them give up the thing they love the very most to make the other one happy is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. 

Me and Em

We had a great weekend visiting Jeanna and fam in San Fransisco.  The weather was great, scenery was beautiful, and time spent with sister (and BIL) and cousins was awesome!  Thanks for having us. 

This proved to be the most difficult task of the weekend, taking pictures of little people all at the same time,  and in focus might I add. Even with M&M’s it was a challenge.

Emma and Jake loved to run around chasing each other and making the other giggle.  I loved to listen and  watch them in action.  Cousins are the best!

 

They both loved the sand and could have stayed there all day.  As an added bonus we got to see horses riding on the beach.

Emma already knows the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.  She is feeding Jake one goldfish at a time from her snacks. 

It was an interesting feeling only having 1 child to take care of.  It made me wonder why I thought having one child was difficult.   Emma loved having all the attention to herself as well.

And of course we can’t forget cute baby Sam.  He is so sweet and calm.
