A mini movie

Spring has sprung!

My girls.

Let the teeting begin!

Well, it's not just one, single lonely tooth anymore.

Emma currently has seven or eight teeth coming in. All at the same time.

I think the kid is miserable.

I also think it's a good thing that we cannot remember how painful teething really is.

Baby Motrin is a god-send.

Finally!

Well, it has only taken almost 13 months, but Emma finally has a tooth coming in.

One single, very lonely tooth.

A photo will follow soon -- once I can pry her mouth open and have enough time to take a photo before she tries to bite me.

At this rate, she might be 2 before she has all her teeth.

Bubble Wrap!

As Olivia and I sat at the kitchen table this morning, popping bubble wrap bubbles, she looked at me and said, "Momma, this is so much fun."

It was hilarious to watch her. She popped each bubble individually. Very serious about the whole thing.

And really, it was so much fun.

Merry Christmas!

Olivia & Emma say:

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!

See the girls as dancing elves, thanks to ElfYourself from Office Max.

Here.

I'm stuck!

Olivia's new thing to say when I tell her it's time to get up in the morning: "I can't, I'm stuck in bubblegum."

Now, I have no idea where she learned that (or how she knows that bubblegum is sticky), but it's so darn cute.

And Emma...well, her new thing to say is "Hi!", while waving. It's so cute. She's so proud of herself. I walk by and she says "Hi!" with a wave. And then laughs. And she's only 10 months old.

I tell ya, my kids are brilliant.

And she's off!

The girl just wants to GO!

Olivia says: Go Bucks!

Olivia, as an OSU cheerleader, crushes the competition.

Thanks!!!

Happy Halloween!

Olivia and Emma - Halloween 2007.

This was the first year that Olivia really "got it" at Halloween -- she understood that we were going to get candy from strangers. She loves dressing up in her princess costumes, so that was easy. I think she made 3 separate trips out around the neighborhood - each time with different people in tow.

Emma...well, she didn't quite understand what was going on. We dressed her up, stuck her in the stroller and took her with us. She probably thought: "Why am I dressed as a fairy to go on a walk?"

All in all...it was a lot of fun.

Disney photos!

Emma-nem!

Too (two?) cute

Singing in the sprinkler

Do we look alike?

Emma's daddy and I both think

she looks a little like

the baby girl ogre. :)

(In a cute, good way...of course!)

Cereal!

Emma had her first bowl of cereal tonight.

We think she liked it. She slurped it up

pretty good...and made a big mess.

How fast they grow!

Could I be any cuter?
