Amalie & Walker



Amalie and Walker came over to try out some of the toys that Emerson got for Christmas. The girls are starting to play together a little better, and Walker was very content to sit and watch. It won't be long before he is ready to join in on the fun!

Emmy Smiles

This video shows Emmy's latest way of smiling. To most of us, it's called blinking, but to Em, it's a smile!

Mackenzie's birthday party(s)

Turning five is a very big deal and Mackenzie has had multiple parties to celebrate the occasion. Emerson enjoyed all of the opportunities for cake! She also had a lot of fun playing with her cousins and her first trip to Chuck E Cheese.




Emmy is finally getting teeth. Along with the bottom two, three more are now visible on the top. Pretty soon, she'll actually be able to take bites of food, although her lack of teeth hasn't slowed her down. Her favorite things to play with right now are balls and baby dolls. She loves to wash the babies' faces, feed them and push them in strollers. When we go shopping, she can spot pictures of babies or balls from across the room and shouts it out. I can't tell you how many balls I have bought for her now!

Happy Birthday Daddy!





Emerson's daddy's birthday was also this weekend. GG and Granddad were in town to celebrate, and we had a wonderful weekend. I don't think we'll have to eat all week after all of the delicious meals that we had! On Saturday night, we had dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Anyone familiar with Soulard knows that the brewery is just down the road, making Budweiser a very popular beverage, but contrary to what Aunt Carolyn says, her daddy and I think Emmy has about another 20 years of milk before she gets any!

Cousin Ben's Birthday





Just after Emerson turned 13 months, Ben turned one! With two one year olds, and a house full of excitement, we weren't able to get a good picture of them together. But, we had a lot of fun at the party!
