Emmett turned 2 (7/16/11)

Emmett is 2!

This is typical Emmett. Squashing the ants.

For his b-day we kept it low key and just had family over (including cousin Felipe, yay!) He had a robot theme party.

Everyone loves a balloon!

Each kid got a little remote control robot.

Emmett did a great job blowing out his candles. So great that we lit them again so he had a second chance!

No cake for Emmett, he only likes the M&Ms (and thank goodness because we found out that he's allergic to egg whites)!

Cousins. It's his party, he can cry if he wants to.

Brother & Sister

As Emmett gets older we are finding the kids playing together more. They still constantly fight over toys and bug each other, but they have moments when they play so nice together. Each time I feel like getting the camera to show them they DID get along at some point :-)

Easter

We went to Grammy and Pop pop's cottage for Easter weekend. It was rainy and yucky on Sat so we did an egg hunt inside, but Sunday was beautiful!

Visiting Aunt Jennine

Before the Easter weekend we went to Philly to visit Aunt Jennine! First we went to the zoo. Our favorite exhibit was the Naked Molerats! They're gross! After spending the night, we went to the Touch Museum in the morning. We had a great time there too. Thanks Jennine for the fun visit!

HAHA!

Planes and Rockets

When Aria spent the weekend with her Grandparents and Felipe/family, we picked something a little special to do with Emmett. He loooooves planes and helicopters, so how perfect is going to the Air and Space museum? He held up for 1.5 hrs running around the entire place. He really got into it.

I guess a plane with teeth is a little scary :-)


Is it a plane or a rocket?

Earlier this month, cousin Felipe and family came down for a visit and stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's. Aria had some special bonding time when she stayed 2 nights with all of them, but without us. They both are growing up so much and it's fun to see them play together. One of the mornings when both Aria and Felipe where awake before the adults, they went downstairs to play together :-) So cute!

Cousins!

It's hard to take a picture of 3 moving targets.
Fort time!
