Maria turns 2!

Wednesday came and went, and my sweet little girl is now TWO! I can't even believe it! Here is a picture of the big girl on her birthday! And here is a picture of her Dora cake that I made! She loved it! She kept saying "ria's cake"!

And here is her with some of her presents, including her new potty chair! Let's hope she puts it to use soon!!


We also had a doctor's appointment yesterday. Maria is still below the 1st percentile for her weight. But she's still growing...even if not very fast! She seems very healthy otherwise! She still loves being big sister and now she pretends she is the doctor and Emma is her patient! :) So cute!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Emma is 6! (months that is...)

Yesterday Emma had her 6 month appointment after turning 6 months on Sunday! I can't believe it. The little squirt is only 14 lbs and 26.5 inches long. For her length, she is in the 78 percentile! Way bigger than Maria at this age. She is much more normal in size than her dear big sister. In fact, Emma wore the same outfit the other day that Maria wore for her one year pictures last winter! :)

In other news, Emma is rolling around like crazy and loving to grab and chew on things. She also is eating lots of baby food and loving it! (except the green beans!) She gives us lots of smiles, but her sister knows exactly how to make her laugh and laugh! It is quite entertaining.

Maria's new favorite thing is playing with her new kitchen that my cousin gave us. She loves stirring up food in her pots and feeding us supper. She makes sure we have our bibs on too! :) She also enjoys snuggling with Emma and giving her kisses. She is usually a great sister, but still has to learn how to share sometimes! She is also very good at telling us how old she is going to be in a few short weeks! 2! She is looking forward to her party!

In the last month we have been busy playing and playing! We had a play date with cousin Thatcher the other day, playing outside in the snow and going on a sleigh ride, continuing playing with all the new Christmas toys, playing with grandmas and grandpas, and playing with friends at the Superbowl party!

Here are some things we are looking forward to in the near future:

1. Another new baby cousin arriving any day now!

2. This weekend with Grandma and Taya

3. A trip to a water park

4. Hopefully some warmer weather! :)

5. Daddy's snowmobile trip out to West Yellowstone

6. Maria's 2nd Birthday!

Hope you all have some fun things to look forward to too in the middle of this snowy, cold winter!
