Summer 09

Not much new! Trying to stay cool and shake off yet another illness. Emerson is 3 1/2 months and is trying so hard to roll over. She talks and laughs so much. Nate is eagerly awaiting school to start. He keeps telling he's going to play with his friends and ride bikes.
We went to Tom's Farms a few weeks ago w/Nana, Aunt Jen, and the twinsies. We had so much fun riding the Choo Choo and the Carousel. The kids, Jen, and I braved it and went into a petting zoo. YUCK!!!! Animals are cute to look at, but they stink. I kept pointing out poo to Jen and the kids..."Watch out. Don't step on it."....and guess what happens to me...Not only do I step on it, but a goat jumps on me and puts it on my capris. Double YUCK!!!!!
The kids got to see the horsies. I was going to let Nate ride on it, but it was $5 and I felt bad for the poor ponies in the heat. They looked miserable. So we just looked at them.
We also got to eat and hear some music...FUN!
P.S. Pic of Mom and Emmie are courtesy of Aunt Jen...THANK YOU!!!

Summer 09

So much has happened since I last blogged. Emerson had her 2 month checkup...14 lbs and 24 inches....95 to 100 percentile. She's Miss Personality. She loves to talk, move her hands, legs, smile, and laugh. She remindes me of a 4 month old. Nate and Em continue to get along. I don't remember what it was like just to have 1.

Em went in the pool for the 1st time with Dad and brother. She loved it! I think it's because she was in the spa (nice and warm) and she was in her ladybug swimsuit that Nana gave her. Thanks Nans.

We decided this year to go to the river. Jerry and I were both very nervous about taking a 2 month old. We knew Nathan (water baby) would do great!
It turns out that the river trip was a huge success. Both kids fell asleep in the boat several times. Nate wanted the boat to go "fast" and he loved the inner tube.
