Mackenzie's Birthday

So this post is a little late because Mackenzie's birthday was December 21st.  Oh well, I still want to get it up and share some pictures.
For Mackenzie's 8th birthday we celebrated at Pizza Ranch.  She was so excited and we had a fun time sharing in her joy...

Christmas 2012

Christmas was so wonderful this year but super busy!  We had 6 Christmas's in 8 days.  It was great to see so much family and catch up with some we hadn't seen in a while.  Ollie enjoyed opening gifts a lot more this year and Emmie just liked the wrapping paper.  Such a fun time celebrating our Savior's birth!  Here are some of the pictures...

Oliver- 2 1/2 Years

Oliver is such a fun sweet little boy.  He is talking, talking, and talking and is doing a good job of saying "please" and "thank you".  He is really into playing with cars and tractors.  I have noticed that he is really starting to play with his toys and can entertain himself for quite a while sometimes.  He still LOVES watching movies.  His favorites are Cars, Toy Story, Veggie Tales, and he just watched A Bugs Life aka "Jumping Spiders" and is still talking about it.  He often asks to watch a movie on the BIG ONE which is the big tv downstairs instead of the small one in his toy room.  He loves his "Baby Girl" and does such a good job with her.  We are now working on sharing with her :)  One big thing that we have been doing is only giving him his paci when he sleeps or when we are in the car.  He is doing a lot better than I thought, only asking once in a while and has only had one meltdown.  He has been having fun playing in the snow with Andrew and had so much fun getting ready for Christmas.  He got to decorate his tree in his toy room and loved helping me make sugar cookies....









Love you so much Ollie boy.  You are such a blessing!

Emmerson 6 Months

I can't believe Emmerson is already six months old!  She is much more petite than Ollie was... that word was never used to describe him :)  At her 6 month checkup she weighed 16 lbs 2 oz which is in the 48th percentile and was 29 in long which is in the 98th percentile.  She is wearing 6 to 9 month clothes and some 6 to 12 because her arms and legs are long.  We started feeding her cereal a couple of weeks ago, even added a little banana or peas and she still doesn't want to eat it!  She started sitting up about a week after she turned 5 months and is a little mover.  She loves to be where the action is.  She is taking 2 or 3 naps a day and once in a while sleeps through the night.  She is really starting to be a momma's girl.  If someone else is holding her and she sees me, she will get really excited and fuss until I hold her.  She also gets excited when she sees her brother.  She loves "playing" with Ollie.  She is a very good, sweet, smiley little girl and we are enjoying her so much...

We love you so much baby girl!
