Maebry you are TWO!!!!!

Maebry Jean you are TWO!!! How did this happen! I cannot believe time has gone by so fast. I feel like it was yesterday that we had your first birthday party. You are so much fun and bring so much joy to our life. It is so fun to watch you grow in so many ways. You went from taking your first steps last year to talking, running, counting, coloring, singing, sleeping in a big girl bed, pigtails, jumping, saying your ABC's, and so much more!!!You make us so proud. You absolutely love life. Your Papi bought you a trampoline for your birthday and that is probably your favorite thing to do these days! You jump everywhere you go! You have had a lot of new things happen in the past few months. A new sister, a new house, and a new big girl bed! You have done wonderful with all of them. I was mostly impressed how you adjusted to Emilia. You have been so sweet to her. I hope you girls are always close and love each other unconditionally. I asked you several times what kind of birthday party you wanted and you gave me the same answer every time. HELLO KITTY!!!! So Hello Kitty it was! Here are some pics...
 


 
We love your excitement for life. You get so excited about things. Your favorite thing to eat is CHEESE! Yellow Kraft slices. You ask for one at least twice a day :). You don't always get it but you definitely get plenty. You will sit at the table and color forever. You love for your daddy and I to join you. You like to pick out the colors for me. Instead of picking one page to color on, you start from the very beginning of the book and color EVERY page for about 3 seconds each. I love it. Your favorite toy this year have been big lego blocks (favorite toy by far). Your daddy and I have spent HOURS building these blocks with you and you love to knock them down. Favorite movie has been Winnie the Pooh. Oh how many times we have watched it. I can't lie your daddy and I really enjoy it. Favorite animal has been a toss up...the beginning of the year was lamby and now it is a bird pillow you call tweet tweet that I bought you before you were born. I just knew you would love it :). Favorite books have been Brown Bear Brown Bear, Mickey Mouse, Marley and Me, and Pajama Time. Oh you have always loved books! You will spend so much time at your book shelf just going through books after books. Favorite T.V. shows have been Mickey  Mouse Clubhouse, Max and Ruby, and UmiZoomi. Favorite songs have been "Way up High in the Apple Tree", "Jesus Loves Me", "This Little Light of Mine", and "Zaccheaus Was a Wee Little Man". We sing every night before bed and you usually pick on of these to sing.
 
I wish I could freeze time. It is so fun to watch you grow but at the same time I want you to stop  :). These two years have just flown by and have been so fun. We love you so much Maebry Jean.
 


2 months-Cooing and rolling over!

Emilia you are too sweet! You have started cooing and you ROLLED OVER! We are so proud of you. You were laying on the living room rug and you rolled over from your tummy to back. We were so excited. The first year has so many exciting "firsts"! You are really starting to chunk up and it is so cute. We put you in your bumbo chair for the first time and you loved it. You hold your head up really well. Maebry pays more and more attention to you every week. She is so sweet to you and her favorite thing to do is kiss your forehead. Your 2 month checkup went great. You were pretty much in the 50% percentile for everything. The shots were of course so sad. You did great that day but that night you were in some pain and it broke my heart. It lasted a few hours and then you were just fine :). Here you are at the doctors office...
 
A few things you love to do right now is sit in your swing and look at the mobile go round and round.Maebry got a new beanbag chair but you are the one who loves it. You like to just sit up in it and look at the lights. The FAN! Oh the fan...you LOVE the fan! You will just smile and smile at it! Speaking of smiling you smile all the time and it melts my heart. It is a beautiful smile and I hope you keep it up forever. Here you are in your bumbo and in the beanbag chair with your sweet smile...
 
 
Oh and I can't forget the picture of you looking at the fan when I was trying to give you a bottle. I hardly ever give you a bottle but you loved it that day because you just stared at the fan and smiled the whole time which turned in to a VERY long feeding :)...
 
 
We love you Emilia Jane and love watching you grow! God has blessed this family with your sweet presence. You make my heart smile!!!
