This is what they say happens when you have more than one child. You don't take as many photos of them, and you definitely don't update their blog as often! Oh well, we're having fun together whether it's being recorded or not.
Here's Emi dressed as a cowgirl when I hosted a little cowboy-themed party for my dad's birthday:
Here are my little elves running to check out the tree on Christmas morning:
I love the funny faces she makes:
Checking out a train display with her buddy, Bennett:
What's new with Emi? She is such a pleasure to spend time with. Both my girls are -- most of the tough times come when they are both together, but one-on-one, they are both so pleasant for the most part. Emi still loves to go places and explore. She loves playing with other kids and is usually the more outgoing one who initiates with others. She is in a phase where she likes to say inappropriate things to get a reaction and is also testing limits more. However, she's usually distractible. Snow White is her favorite princess (did you really think she could share a home with Alaina and not get exposed to those?), probably because she "likes red and blue the best." She strikes a good balance of being active and physical but also being able to sit and play for a chunk of time or listen during a story. She is starting to really enjoy trying to write a few letters, with mixed results. She always wants me to come over and see what she wrote immediately. She loves playing Hello Kitty bingo.
