sofia's performance - pictures

And here, a few photos to remember the occasion. Sofia was so happy! Her teacher is Miss Kelly, and Sofia adores her.

emmo-isms

So I keep posting Sofia-isms, but when does Emmo have a turn?

Well, he just started saying "da-da-da!" He is so proud! He loves to play with his voice in all pitches and all volumes. He giggles and smiles and pounds on things. He rolls all over the place. He's sitting up really well - even taking baths with Sofia! He reaches for things in front of him and sits back up, and often gets onto one knee. Not crawling yet, but I bet it's coming pretty soon!

He's eating a lot of food these days, and seems to love it (of course he's nursing around the clock, too). His first foods were rice cereal and avocado. Then he tried banana, sweet potato, carrots, peas (yes, PEAS, Clark!), apples, and acorn squash. I make oatmeal and brown rice for him as well. So far he loves it all!

we have the most beautiful children!

Yes, I AM biased, but I believe it to be true! They were just lovely today!

We all had the flu over the weekend. Here's a memorable picture of Sofia. Poor thing!

sofia, emerson and rylie

I made these hats for Sofia and Rylie. I hope to make one for Emerson once I have some material that is not so "girly"!

more of wichita

Another highlight of our trip to Wichita was going to the Pumpkin Patch with Nana's Kindergarten class. Fia even got to ride with the class on the big yellow school bus!


Sofia was a prolific artist at Nana's house!


And Emo continues to route for Obama! :)

fia feeds the giraffe

While in Wichita last week, we met Grandma Nori and Grandpa Jerry at the zoo. Sofia loved feeding the goats in the petting zoo, and the fish. One of the highlights of the day was that Fia got to feed a baby giraffe named Olivia!

10 days young

Here are some more pictures, taken by Kjirsten, of Emerson at 10 days. This is the day after we returned from the hospital. (Thanks Kj!)
