Baby L #2 - Week 45

This week I decided to have the girls try the gift that Courtney Basse made for them and we had so much fun. The girls are learning to play with each other more and more. Antonella is very protective of Emi and Emi gets a little frustrated when Ant wants to hold her and kiss her. If Emi cries Ant runs to tell me. In the mornings Emi usually wakes Ant and she goes quickly to my room to tell "Mama Emi wake, Emi wake, run!" It's so cute.

Emi has also been learning to imitate some of the different sounds and moves Ant makes, it is funny and cute at the same time. I love them together, they will always be the best pair.

 

Baby L #2 - Week 44

Emi is now an official walker. She started taking steps here an there a month ago, but now at 10 months, she's a super pro. Ok not really, she falls a lot but she's been walking more and more and for longer distances.

The girls have been sleeping together and doing amazing. I love that they share a room, I can't imagine all the adventures they'll get to share together. Emi is still an eating machine. She loves loves loves food and will eat every time something is offered to her. She seems to be a little bit less attached to me, but she is still super attached to me. I must be on sight at all times haha. We are growing out of it. She has 2 teeth up top plus 2 poking through, and 2 at the bottom, and a third one popping through at the bottom.

She also starting having these rough spots on her skin, we are changing some food and trying to figure out what it all is. 

Baby L #2- Week 43

This week we moved her crib to Ant's room and they are officially roommates. They have done so well!! Most mornings Ant just comes in and tells us that Emi is awake. She gets a little worried that her sister is awake and can't escape the crib, when we walk back to the room with her she runs to Emi and pats her head, Emi doesn't like it haha. 

Emi has a new smile, she scrunches her whole little face and it's adorable. She took 3 steps this week, and kept taking little steps here and there. She will be walking in no time. She is more and more comfortable being away from me, but she is still happier if I am around her. She loves to explore everywhere and listens to commands.

Baby L #2 - Week 42

 







Emi tried on her Christmas Eve outfit. Isn't she adorable? She is not a big fan of shoes, she just sits there and tries to take them off for a while until she gets them. Sometime Ant helps her, for some reason neither one of my daughters likes shoes, what is that?

It takes her about 30 seconds to get up the stairs which I think is crazy. She is more and more comfortable meandering around without seeing me at all times. She still prefers if I don't leave the room but she can leave it and all is well.

This week she officially has been out of my belly longer than in my belly. Isn't that crazy?

Baby L #2 - Week 41

Emi gets cuter by the hour. I honestly don't know what we are going to do with her. She moves so much, she doesn't want to stay still, but then she comes over and kisses me and snuggles me for a few minutes. She loves staring at me and playing with my face. I love it.

She had some candy thanks to her older sister haha, she of course loved it, but I am hoping that's the last she'll see of candy for a while. She loves rice, and crackers, and beans, and pretty much everything but green beans. Her hair is getting longer and curling up more and more, and she keeps being an amazing sleeper. I love her. 

Babu L #2- Week 40

This week we officially took out the 9-12 months clothes and all the 6-9 months clothes were put away. Emi tries to take steps here and there, and she takes one and falls but has never done more than that. She is such a happy baby. She now knows how to crawl up and down the stairs, and if she can see me she is happy crawling for hours at a time, she loves exploring and playing with different things.

Ant and Emi are playing more and more together. Mostly Emi plays and Ant gets annoyed haha. But sometimes Ant plays too and it's cute. I love seeing them together.

Baby L #2 - Week 39

Emi caught a little bit of a cold while in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving. She is a trooper and is handling it great, but she's stuffed up and is hard to breathe. She absolutely loves the pool, started eating rice, noodles, quinoa and pretty much anything she can get in her hands. She is super fast crawling and gets up without any help from anybody. she says papa, mama and bye bye, and does it when we ask her too. If we make the hand motion for bye she says bye, and we are learning more sign language but just like Ant it is taking a little bit.

Christmas Pictures

The amazing Alex from Alexandra Marie Photography took pictures of us for our 2014 Christmas card. She is truly and amazing photographer and even though my girls were not cooperating I loved loved loved our pictures. 

Baby L #2- Week 38

Emi just keeps growing. The pajamas she's wearing are 9 months and barely fit, she's not 9 months yet. She is taller than Ant was at this age, and heavier, somehow still under 10%.

Her top two teeth are officially out and it looks like the top teeth next to those are coming too. She is still dealing with separation anxiety and barely lets people hold her. It's ju

Baby L # 2 - Week 37

Emi is moving more and more, she goes up the stairs quick, and is learning how to go down them, she can only go down one or two right now. She still loves food, it's crazy how excited she gets about it, and she still loves snuggles, kisses, and love. I can't even handle her most of the time, I just want to squish her and kiss her non-stop. She has such a sweet and loving personality, it's crazy.
