Playing in the cabinet

Emily (or "Squeaky" as I have been calling her because of the way her little leg squeaks across the floor when she crawls) found her way into the kitchen this morning.  I showed her where the tupperware cabinet was and figured since she was such a little adventurer she would have it cleared out in no time.  Instead she grabbed one lid and was happy as can be.  Remember when Andrew got to play with the tupperware for the first time?

Emily gave me the same "are you sure about this, mom" look Andrew did.

Then she decided it was pretty fun.

Look at her little pinky fingers sticking up, am I raising a prissy little princess?! Ummm, she must get that from her dad!

Easter dress

I made Emily's Easter dress last week and we bought Andrew a fancy new shirt. I wanted to get some pictures of them all dressed up.  These two are so hard to get in a picture together, I have to take tons of pictures before I can get any where they are both looking, but those few shots are soooo worth it!

Emily is still pretty cooperative, I love the light in these, she looks like an angel :)

And the only way to get smiles out of Andrew is to take him to the playground or the fountian!

"GO GO" Emily!

Emily is crawling all over the place.  I remember when Andrew was her age, he was afraid to crawl off the rug in the living room.  Not this one, she is a little adventurer, she is all over the place exploring.  I love her little one legged crawl, and how Andrew always cheers her on :)

She is also pulling up on the furniture!

And Andrew has got some dance moves!  I think this is my favorite, he looks like he ate too much.  I also like how he points to me when I asked him where he learned that move, I swear I have never danced like that!

And on last video of Andrew sharing his tomatoes with his teddy bear...awwww :)

"I fell down"

Andrew has been begging me to go to the park.  Every time we drive by a slide he points out the window and says "side, peas" (slide, please). So yesterday I promised him after his nap we would go to the park.  He woke up from his nap saying "woohoo side!"  so we headed to the park.  He had a blast running and climbing and sliding, he even made some friends.  Emily got to swing a bit.

Then he got on the merry-go-round.  He was doing exactly what I told him and sitting close to the middle.  But I guess his shorts were too slippery because when the little girl pushing started going fast he slipped right off the edge...head first.  And of course he fell right in the one spot where the rubber mat had a hole in it, so face first into the concrete.

He screamed for a minute but then went right back to the slides, he is such a tough little dude.  While he was playing he kept giggling and saying "I fell down".

Happy bath time baby!

Emily had some beans the other night, She finished a giant bowl and then yelled for seconds, for being such a tiny little thing, the girl can eat!

And after the beans, she got a bath.  Have you noticed that until today there has not been a single photo of Emily at bath time?  That's because she hated it, screamed as loud as she could and tried to climb out of the tub.  She was like a cat in the water.  Then the other night she had a breakthrough, I got in the tub with her and after about 30 min of screaming, she stuck her little hand out and splashed the water, she realized it's not so bad.  She even sat in the tub and played with toys for about 15 minutes!  It is probably the best thing that has happened in our house in a while, no more fighting Emily in the tub!  Look she is even smiling!
