I Know I know... I am horrible!

I vow from this momment on to be a better blogger. It's not that I don't have plenty of things to post about, it's just finding the time to do it. The computer is in my bedroom now so I can't post when Emily is sleeping. I did however move the computer so I have a view of the living room this should hopefuly make a difference because I will now be able to see what James is up to while I am on the computer. Things are good for us since we moved, the area we live in is great and we have the added blessing of being able to see Grandpa and Grandma Lang on a frequent basis. We love going over their for dinner and hanging out at their pool. We are very blessed to have them so close and for them to spoil us like they do. (Thank You Grandma & Grandpa)

The kids are doing very good...

James:
  • Just turned 2 years old
  • He is talking like a maniac, He wakes up taking and doesn't stop until he goes to bed. (Sometimes he even talks in his sleep)
  • He loves swimming and is fearless when it comes to the water.
  • He loves the beach, and now that we live closer he gets to go atleast once a week, He has started to enjoy wading in the water and jumping over waves.
  • He is now fully potty trained except for at bedtime
  • He wears big boy underwear with Elmo and Diago on them, He picked them out himself.
  • He is really into stickers, coloring, play-doe, and cooking (He got a play kitchen from Grandpa Tim and Grandma Shari and he totally loves it.)
Emily:
  • She is 5 months old now and weighs 14lbs
  • She smiles all the time! I have never know a baby to smile as much as she does.
  • She can sit up if her hands are on the floor to support her
  • She rolls over and uses that as her mode of transportation
  • She loves to stand up (Someone holding her of course)
  • She just started eating cerial and will start her veggies next month
  • She too loves to go in the water, and enjoys making the water splash
  • She loves her big brother even though he isn't always that nice to her, she always has smiles and laughs when he comes around.
  • She is not the best sleeper, she still wakes up about 2 times a night wanting a full feeding; occationally she will let me sleep until 4:30am but that is a rare occation.
I love my kids, I feel so blessed to have them in my life even when they don't sleep or they are bratty. They truly are wonderful spirits! Here are some pictures from the last few months... Enjoy!Daddy, James & Emily


James showing love to Emily... She loves him too; but only from a distance. He tends to be a little rough!
Emily loves sitting up this is how she spends a lot of her day.
