Emma Finds Graham Crackers!

Air and Space...Wow!

On Saturday we made a trip to one of our favorite places: Washington DC. We grabbed Smoothie King on the way and I let Jack have the last couple sips of mine:


It was such a beautiful day. Below Jack is showing off one of his battle wounds while Emma sulks.


Jack and Emma were thinking two different things when Momma said "Cheese!".

And then we made it to the Air & Space Museum. Jack was mesmerized by all the air planes.

And, just for fun, and very bright eyed Emma Lu Who.

The Park and A Walk

Later in the day I was crazy enough to take 3 kiddos on a walk at once. We were quite a site. As you can see below Andrew and Emma put on their happy faces. (Btw, this is Andrew, one of Jack's new friends.)

Play time afterwards...

I just can't be outside enough on sunny days! And as you can see, Emma was eating it up!

Jack's 2nd Birthday Party

I had the greatest intentions to take pictures at Jack's birthday party, but I was a bit too busy playing hostess and Mommy. So, please enjoy the slideshow, courtesy of Beth "what would we do without you" Techtmann.

Note 1: The slideshow is at the bottom of Beth's post.

Note 2: Emma didn't mean to steal the show, but she was just being a little too cute to not take, oh, a zillion pictures. You'll see what I mean.

Big and Tall

"You sure do make big kids." This was the basic summary from our pediatrician following yesterday's visit.

Jack's 2-year stats:
38 1/2 in. tall (off the charts)

32 lbs. (90%)

Emma's 6-month stats:
27 1/2 in. long (95%)
18lbs., 11 oz. (96%)
44.3cm head (95%)

We don't mind Jack being off the charts, but in order for Emma to be marriage material she can't be two feet taller than all the guys! :)

I Didn't Think I'd See the Day

Emma is playing with dolls and sitting up!

She's been sitting over there playing with the doll and sitting up the whole time I've been posting this...going on 5 minutes now. Way to go girlie!!!

First Poo

We've got a long ways to go, but Jack is in the early stages of potty training. This morning he volunteered the information that he needed to poo and ran to the potty. I set him up on the "pooper" as Daddy calls it and gave him his reading materials and away he went.
