Our trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo last week with the Williams and all the kids loved it. Emma especially loved the turtles. In the picture below she had gotten underneath the bar and was walking along the glass, following the turtle as it swam.

More pictures of the girls

Emma just adores Kenzie!
Kenzie is such a chunk and such a cutie. It's nice that this picture displays both!! :)
Even though it looks like Emma is in "time out" she is looking at her toys that she stashs on the side of the refridgerator. Mitch likes to call it her "Toy Cache".

Emma walked around in Mitch's shirt for about 20 mintues and even then she didn't want us to take it off her.

When Emma gets excited she pulls out what we like to call her "squat and walk"! (I guess technically it's a "stoop and walk"!)

Kenzie started laughing the other day and it was so adorable we had to get it on video. But as soon as you pull the camera out the laughing stops, of course. We did catch a little in the very first couple seconds of the video, luckily!

Emma the Mother

Emma has become quite the mimicker as of late. She loves to get her baby (which we think she calls Kenzie also) and do with it what I'm doing with Kenzie. The other day I was wiping Kenzie's mouth off after she had spit up. Once Emma had observed this, she went and got her baby and started licking the baby's face and brought it over to me for me to wipe the "spit up" off of her baby. Now I think she is trying to mother not only her baby but all of her stuffed animals too. This morning I walked in her room and found her like this, trying to put her sock (from off her right foot) on her stuffed monkey.

Catch up!

It's been awhile since the last post so here's whats been going on at our house lately.....

Emma just doing her daily activities

Emma loves her Opa. Usually in the moring when I go in to get her out of her crib she is calling for me by repeating "Daddy, Daddy" over and over again. (She can say Momma but she still chooses to call me Daddy most the time.) But the other day when I went to get her out of her crib she was calling "Oooopa, Oooopa!" and when I came in the door instead of her Opa she was most definitely disappointed.

Kenzie's Blessing

It's hard to believe she is almost 3 months old now. She's such an angel.

And here's Kenzie doing what she normally does, sleeping the day away so she can be refreshed and awake for the night!

Emma's Acrobatics

I had gone upstairs to check on Kenzie and when I came back down Emma was sitting in the swing. I couldn't figure out how she had done it since there is a latch that you have to unhook to move the tray of toys that is in front. But I was able to convince her to show me how she got in....



She is really quite the monkey now and can get into almost anything. It's makes life interesting because I'm always on the lookout to see what she is up to. When it's quiet I know there must be trouble, such as stunts like this, and 90% of the time I'm right.
