Kate 4 mos update

I thought that Emma was a laid back baby, well that was until we had Kate. She rolls with the punches and is very content! She is a little smiling machine and she's talking and starting to blow bubbles. She's trying to roll over but her behind is not allowing her to do so :) I wonder where she gets that from?!?! Everything is going into her mouth, and she'll get a pretty good grip on anything she gets a hold of! She's sleeping like a champ, and she loves her thumb. We'll probably be starting cereal soon!

Daddy's response to Emma saying "Kate eat pretzel." She loved the salt!

Kate 4 mos stats: 17 lbs (95%) and 25 inches (50%)

Emma turns 2!

Yes, our sweet Emma turned 2 on November the 6th. These past 2 years have flown by, and she never ceases to amaze us. Her smile could light up a room. Her laugh is contagious. She's the smartest, cutest, and most precious thing ever - yes, we're a little biased! We enjoyed a nice evening home with the family. Her day started off with a party in her bedroom!
She sang "happy birf-day" to herself - too cute!

Here's our new Betty Crocker! G&G W gave Emma her very first kitchen, and Aunt Donna and Uncle John completed the gift with a darling apron/hat/mit set! She could play for hours. And yes, she's wearing heals while she cooks...She's going to make some man very happy someday!

Emma's 2 year stats: 34lbs(97%) and 35 inches(90%)
Her projected height based on her 2 year eval - 5'10!

Happy Halloween!

The girls and the pumpkin
We traveled to Bryan, Ohio to visit our dear friends The Elden's this year for Halloween. Emma and Parker are 1 mos apart, and Mason and Kate are about 4 mos apart. We decided to go with a Wizard of Oz theme this year. We had a wonderful visit.

Moved In

Yes, and "there's no place like home." Our family has definitely appreciated this statement over the past few weeks as we've moved into our new home! We officially moved into our home October 24th. It was a smooth (but busy) transition. Dad W has been our general contractor. Dad Z was our super mover. Both of our Mom's helped by packing/unpacking, cleaning, bringing food, and providing much needed emotional support! Rebecca was our personal organizer. Kate just rolled with the punches and she enjoyed spending time with Aunt Bec. Emma went on a mini-vacation to Aunt Kim's. She loved going to the pumpkin patch and spending time with her cousins. We couldn't have done it without our family.

Some of our new neighbors stopped by to welcome us! This is about 3 feet from our window!
