Sweet Girls

I took this picture yesterday afternoon when Emma and Mary were both in the sweetest and snuggliest moods. It's a little out of focus, and I couldn't get them to smile at the same time, but I love how it turned out. Mary ADORES Emma and watches everything she does. Emma is such a great big sister - she is a HUGE help with Mary and absolutely loves to entertain her. Mary's little face just lights up when Emma comes to talk to her, and she has a very special way of "talking" that she only uses when she's having a conversation with her big sister. We love watching their relationship grow and hope it's always as sweet as it is now!

Sweet Mary Pictures

These are some funny pictures I took of Mary this morning. She is trying so hard to sit up and is getting very frustrated that she can't do it yet. She has started getting really mad anytime we lay her down on the floor. She's much happier if we're holding her up while she stands in our lap - that's her favorite place to be!

Picture Day

Today was picture day at Emma's preschool. Since we never know how the professional ones are going to turn out, I took some before we left for school of Emma in her new outfit...and I think they are precious!

Mary's Big Day

After lots of attempts, Mary rolled from her back to her front! I'm not sure she'll EVER do it again because it made her very mad when it happened, and Wade and I both jumped up and grabbed her and started cheering, and all the excitement scared her to death. So all in all, I'm not sure she thought it was a positive experience, but hopefully she'll keep practicing! She also ate her first real baby food today - almost half a jar of squash. She didn't like it and made some horrible faces, but she kept right on eating. You can see from the pictures I took today that she doesn't miss many meals, regardless of what is being served!
