Welcome To My Life

So here I was thinking that Emmy was able to crawl, pull herself up to stand, but not sit.  Then I caught her doing it tonight, but just for a few seconds.  The reason the girl doesn't sit, is because she doesn't SIT STILL!  I sat her up with several things to occupy her and sure enough, she can sit steady as can be! I wonder when she actually learned this new skill.

I dont' have any pictures to share of her sitting up yet.  I pulled my camera out today at the water park (Marcus had a special outing with Mommy and Emmy this morning) and it was completely dead!  I have the batteries charging and ready to go for tomorrow so I'll try to take a TON....which shouldn't be too hard for me.  hehehe

Tonight I looked down at Emmy who was playing quite happily 30 seconds prior and found this....

I don't have it on video yet, but Emmy can crawl!  The stinker!  I keep telling her that she's too young to crawl, but I guess she already thinks she knows better than mommy.  She has only done about 3 "steps" at a time, but it was hands and knees coordinated.  Look out, here she comes!

My my, Little Miss Emmaline is certainly progresing!  She just turned 4 months old and she is up on all fours trying to get around!  Perhaps this is because she is trying to keep up with her older brother, who she totally adores.  The two of them will take turns giggling at each other every night, it's a special moment between them when you can see the love between them already.  A far cry from Marcus's attitude when she first arrived and he wouldn't even touch her.  He'd do a circle around her to avoid contact.

Marcus is hitting a new stage of play.  He is really starting to enjoy the sandbox on his own, and can enjoy his trucks/cars/trains with a purpose.  He hauls things here there and everywhere.  His few favorite game is "Where's Marcus hiding?"  On laundry day he enjoys hiding in the laundry pile.  Yes, it is that big, he can completely cover himself.

We ended up buying a new family computer yesterday, so while the transfer of files is happening, there likely won't be many pictures to share, but I'll flood you all with them once we are set up, which with 2 small children could be a while.  I am loving my new 19 inch LCD monitor!!  Now I just have to get the old computer set up for sale and we are set.  I need the extra speed on this new computer to do  my little projects in Photoshop, whose files sizes were causing my last computer great stress.  Now I'll be able to enjoy the freedom of saving my work in less than 5 minutes and without that endless hourglass ticking away the minutes it takes to complete my operations.

Not much else is happening here, but here's a picture from our little photo shoot that I'll share for now.
