A Little Pool Time

A little family time.

And, Emma's first time in the pool.

Rice Cereal

Emma tried rice cereal for the first time yesterday evening.

She enjoyed it and gets really excited when that spoon starts coming towards her.

Although she is just getting used to eating off of a spoon, she's getting the hang of it.

Hopefully soon she'll get more in her mouth that on herself.

First feeding

Big Sissy Lily always ready to help

Second feeding, not as much on her chin this time.

Relaxing Sunday

It was finally raining and we were forced to relax and play.

It ended up being a standing...

and fort building kind of day.

Eye to Eye

Emma LOVES to be on her tummy.

So most of the time Lily will join her and play

Eye to Eye.

I adore them.

Sister Bathtime

Lily and Emma love taking baths together.

We have already ditched the baby bathtub in lieu of putting Emma into the tub with Lily. We may just be lazy but Emma actually tries to lunge for the tub when she's in the bathroom watching Lily take a bath. There have been many evenings of unplanned Emma baths just because it's difficult to try to keep her out. Seems as though we're going to have to look at bath seats sooner than we thought.

Yummy Toes!

Emma has been staring at her little toes for quite awhile now and she finally got to them!

Now every time we change her diaper up go the feet and in go the toes.

She ends up happily laying on the changing table gnawing away on her toes for minutes on end since it's very difficult to put a diaper back on her.

Hmm...

...you have somewhere to go Miss Emma?

We stood there and watched as Miss Emma planted her feet, lifted her little behind and scooted down to the edge of her bouncy seat.

I think if she could she would slump down onto the floor and crawl away. Every time we put her back up into the seat she would scoot right back down. Now we are very aware to buckle her in but can't believe that she's this on the move at only 3 months old!!

SLOW DOWN EMMA!

Boo...

...first rug burn. Dang our sensitive skin.

Don't worry, disappered by morning.

A New Activity

We are beginning to get some toys out of storage for Miss Emma. The first on our list, The Exersaucer! Lily loved this toy and we took it all over the house to keep her entertained. Luckily Emma is strong enough to enjoy this now although we need 3 blankets tucked in around her just so she will fit in the seat. We also have this set on the lowest setting so her little feet are flat on the bottom...guess that means these legs will get strong pretty quick and we'll have another early walker on our hands! yikes!!

Lily is great with Emma. She shows her how all of the toys work and even takes Emma's hand to help her do things. Emma loves watching Lily and having her nearby and has actually pushed some buttons and turned a page or two in the music book by herself. Love my girls!
