Oscar

We cannot forget about our first born!!! Oscar has been great with the arrival of the baby. From the beginning he has been very understanding of the new addition to the family and now that Emilia is more mobile, they play together and share each others toys!!!!

Here is mom with the children!!!!



As you can see Emilia wants to get into Oscar's cage in the background!!!!



And here is Oscar in Emilia's carseat!!!!

Latest Moves

Emilia is getting super strong!!!!! It almost feels like overnight she is turning into a grownup!!! In the last couple of days she has been doing this funny thing where she gets her butt all the way up in the air.



And last night she got up on her jumperoo and hung on for a few seconds.........she is so big!!!!!

First Time Alone with Dad

Last week I had a seminar in Indiana, which kept me away from 8 to 5. It was so hard to be away from the baby for that long......I have been working some, but never this long of a day!!!!!
Emilia got to hang out with daddy all day. I am happy to report that they both survived the long day, and had lots of fun!!!!! After I got home from my long day away, Emilia had discovered her voice!!!!! For some reason she decided that she wanted to talk. She probably felt like she had to tell me all the fun stuff she got to do with daddy and Oscar that day!!!!!
Turn up the volume and take a listen!!!!




Now Ryan thinks she's saying dada.....

Emilia's Favorite Toys

Last week we put away the swing at got a new jumperoo!!! Emilia has outgrown her very favorite toy (the swing), so we figure the best thing we could do was to at least try to replace it with something to keep her entertained, and I think we might have found the right toy. She loves this thing!!!!





She also loves her books!!!!!



And the laundry baskets!!!!

Going forward

Emilia has finally decided that going forward is a much more effective way of transportation!!!! After getting quite good at crawling backwards, she figured out how to go forward. Now she moves all over the place!!!! And by the way she is attracted to everything she is not supposed to play with, like the fireplace, all the cables and wires, and Oscars toys!!!


Here she is!!!!
