The Jump

I totally forgot about these pictures from back in August and meant to post them but...uuugh not sure what happened. Anyways....here they are!



This was one of the first good rains of the winter I think and they were dying to get outside and play in it. I was taken their pictures through the window and Emmy was really putting on a show and I couldn't believe that I totally caught her falling on her butt in the water. It didn't hurt her, but the concrete is sunken back there and the water pools so it was really really cold winter water. Poor thing! I think she was a bit annoyed with me for clicking one last photo of her crying. So funny and sad at the same time!

Look at how much fun she was having before the fall :)

That crazy girl!

Here's some funny pictures!!!

I let Emmy paint her own toe nails lol

She LOVED doing it and was pretty mad at me when I stopped her from painting her fingers!

Woohooo! Look at those boots! Work it!!

Doodles

After Lilah went to bed last night Emmy and I had a little special time and colored on the floor. I was drawing whatever she was telling me too and then she would color it in. Pretty soon she was off on her own page drawing and she said "Look mommy, a cat!" and wowzers...it was a cat!!! Check out the picture below!!

If you can't see the cat then you're an idiot!

I'd love to know at what age it's "normal" for children to start drawing recognizable objects. I imagine it's probably right around the 2 - 2 1/2 mark, but if anybody knows anything specific about it....do share!

Hayden's Birthday Party

Here's some photo's from two weeks ago when we went to Hayden's 1st Birthday Party! They had it at a kindergym which was such a great idea! There were so many kids and they all had a blast running, jumping, climbing, riding, and playing with toys. I didn't get any pictures of the birthday boy :( so if anybody has any of Lilah and Hayden together please send them to me! There also isn't any photo's of me with the girls. Unless I specifically tell husband to take a picture of us together then it doesn't get done....grrr why are men like that!?

This is the only picture of them together because they were usually running in opposite directions and doing their own thing!

Hey shorty...what are you trying to do!?

Maybe dad should help you!

Climbing through the tunnel...

She's wearing an Owl Applique Shirt that I made for her. You can't really see him but he's got lots of pink and red on his wings and belly and I paired it with a pink skirt. I love mixing pink and red together because it feels wrong haha... does that make me weird? I need to snap a better picture of this shirt to share!

Here's the red and pink shirt I made for Lilah. The pink elephant is made out of super soft fuzzy material. Don't mind the food stain near the neck..... I took this picture after she had worn it all day.

Rainbows

Look at this BEAUTIFUL rainbow we saw today!! It was a gloomy, rainy, and cold all day so this was a wonderful surprise. This was also the first rainbow that Emmy has seen where I'm 100% positive she understood what it was. She told me that there were My Little Ponies over there! How cute is that!? Lilah enjoyed looking at it too! It's fun living in a place where we get to see alot of rainbows! It's so magical :)
