at play

My girls and I were playing one day while dad was away! Emilia is 3 1/2 months here. She loves her bouncy chair and sucking on her hands. And Lilah can always make her smile :).

3 months

Emilia is (almost) 3 months old! Sweet little thing is getting better at practicing her tummy time. She is a lot more playful and is fascinated by her big sister. I think we're getting to the fun stage now! And the longer stretches of sleep at night don't hurt either!

2 months

More of Emilia's 2-month pictures!

night and day

So, I think Jeff predicted correctly when he said that our babies would be night and day. These pictures were taken when both our girls were about 8 weeks old and I don't think they look anything alike. The picture of Lilah (top) was taken by the amazingly talented Christina Kahler (www.christinakahler.com).

terrific twos

I'm sure hoping the twos are going to be terrific! Lilah turned 2 a few days ago and has been enjoying lots of cupcakes, presents, and time with family and friends. She is such an incredibly sweet little girl. Chattering all the time. Running faster than her feet can carry her sometimes. She's giving us hope that one day soon she'll be out of diapers (fingers crossed). She loves reading. Loves her baby sister (any baby, real or pretend, for that matter). Oh, I just love her so much. I need to write more about what she's like right now and the funny things she says because otherwise I will forget them. Here's a few pictures in the meantime. And stats from her Dr. visit - she's just shy of 27 pounds, about 50th percentile for height and 92nd percentile for head circumference (still has her big noggin!). Love you sweet little Lilah!

baptism

This is Emilia's "I'm serious about getting baptized today face." :) Great day with family and friends!
