Emily Crawling

Here is a brief video of Emily crawling and screeching! Enjoy!

Big Tub

Emily has offically graduated to the big bathtub! It's still kind of weird to see her in it considering how little she is. She loves the water though. She splashes around, yells and laughs. Overall she has a great time in the tub. Last night Abby joined her little sister in the tub for the first time!

Weekend Family Fun

Last weekend we went to a free 60's flashback weekend at the Doughboy Fields on Fort Dix. They had free games, live music, horseback rides, bounce house and all sorts of other activities for the military families. Abby had her first horseback ride and she loved it! Emily decided that she would venture out onto the grass for the first time and not cry. Abby and Jason also went on a go cart ride. Here are a few pictures of the family fun!

Bath time!

Well once we got back from our trip to Omaha Emily really took off. She started crawling and pulling herself up. Emily loves everything that Abby does and watches her like a hawk. Last night I was getting Abby's bath water ready and according to Jason, Emily heard the bath water start and took off like a bat out of hell to chase us down! She quickly made her way to the bathroom so she could watch her big sister take a bath. I'm hoping this means she is getting ready to get into the big bath tub and we can eliminate her baby tub!

Jason's knee

Jason had knee surgery for the 3rd time this past Monday. Thankfully this time it was not a torn ACL but just some torn miniscus. He has bounced back quickly this time and isn't even on crutches anymore. My Mom was able to come and stay with us for a week to help out while he was at the hospital and just in general when he was unable to do much around the house. Overall we had a great visit with Mom and we were all sad to see her go! We miss you already!

Pool Time

A few days ago it was finally hot enough and not raining that we could break out the pools! Abby of course loves her big pool in the backyard but Emily is not that impressed with water in general. I filled her little baby pool with a little bit of water so it would warm up quickly and then we put her in the pool. At first she just wanted to stand but once her big sister got in the baby pool with her she sat down and started having some fun.
