Aria lost her first tooth!

After about 2 weeks, Aria got tired of having a loose tooth, so she pulled it out herself at school yesterday. She was so excited when she woke up the next morning, and the tooth fairy left a note, and a WHOLE QUARTER!

Pee pee in the potty!

Emmett's been increasingly interested in the potty these days. For the past month he's been using the "little potty" the same time as big sister does before bath in the evenings. He's usually successful about half the time. After he goes, we all join in a "Pee pee in the potty!" song and dance. He loves it! Aria loves to get into it too, which I think get the most reaction from Emmett since he really looks up to her.

This morning was a first. He woke up with a dry diaper! We asked him to use the potty and after some encouragement, he was sitting up on the "big potty" and going! Yahoo! Go Emmett!

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!
