Well, April is finally here. Emma will be 6 months old next week, I can hardly believe it! It seems like Harry's first 6 months took MUCH longer, but Emma's has just flown. Once she got over her miserable colic and the worst spit-up-itis I have EVER seen (well, she's mostly over it!), she's become such a little sweet potato. She absolutely adores her brother, she's actually getting ready to crawl simply because he sits across the room from her! She gets her little butt in the air and then up on her arms and then can't figure out what to do from there, but she can get a few feet away from her starting point simply from wiggling. Part of me is really excited that she can move and part of me is totally dreading it.
I played an April Fools joke on Jay yesterday, I sent him a text message saying, "I'm pregnant!" and then led him to believe it for a whole 5 minutes. I thought it was pretty funny being that I obviously wouldn't tell him that I was preggo in a text message, but he was pretty furious!! I felt bad, but he's over it now and, of course, relieved that I'm NOT pregnant! I sent one to Katie too, but she was much less mad than Jay. Although, pretty disappointed that we're not expecting. Sorry, Kates!
Okay, that's the last Easter picture, I promise!!! And yes, Harry IS mad, but not about the bunny- he loved the bunny, he just didn't want his picture taken. It was right after we'd had our pictures done at the studio, and he was pretty frustrated with me!
This is Ems getting ready to crawl. Don't you just love her little unicorn horn?
Harry got an easel and LOVES to paint. However, again, he did NOT want his picture taken!
But, I was allowed to take a picture of his picture. Isn't it beautiful??? :)
This is Emma's new face. She sucks in her bottom lip and goes, "MMMMMMM." I"m hoping it's going to lead to "mama," since Harry said "da-da-ya-ya" at least 8 months before he even came close to "mama."
And this is my doodle-bop again in her jumper. I just love how bright her little eyes get when she's happy. Her hair is starting to lay down, at least on top. The back is still crazy though, even with the bald stripe in the back that babies get from sleeping on their backs. It's been quite a challenge to style since it's too long to let go loose anymore, but not long enough all-over to do pigtails or anything. ;)
My beautiful family. :)
Emma and Susy
Harry figured out how to climb the "wall" at the park today. I've been trying to keep him off it, but he did really well and is SO proud of himself when he gets up there. He says the Dora, "I did it!" when he does it. :)
Susy and Jay
Harry wiped out trying to pick flowers for Daddy and Emma.
Harry was trying to get Emma to slide with him. He kept saying, "C'mere Emma, do this!"
Emma was SO excited to be outside!
Harry can swing by his arms on the bars!! I didn't know he could do that until he yelled at me to, "Look at ME!!"
At the mall play area with Susy.
Harry riding the motorcycle-bike at the mall.
I finally had to cut Emma's hair. It's starting to lay down a lot more and I realized that it's already past her nose in the front! I wasn't sure she needed bangs yet, but it was my only option. Now she's my little mop-top!
Harry was painting the other morning in his pajama shirt. I just love how little his legs look here! A far cry from those chunkers he used to have!
This is Harry and Mommy doing seed-matching at school this week. We started our unit on Farm Animals and there is one very excited little boy at our house!!!
As you can tell, the kids had a great time and I doubt even noticed that we were gone! :)

Amy and Jenn at the Winery.
Harry at the park.
Harry dying Easter eggs. His job was to tell us when they were done.
"Oooohhh.... Eggs...."
Emma doing her "fashion show" to decide what to wear for her pictures.
My sweet little nakey baby!
Amy and Harry at the park in Medical Lake. It's SO pretty there!
Harry and Amy slow-dancing on Easter. Harry gets his romantic skills from his dad, I think.... :P
Emma all bundled up for the park. We brought bread for the ducks, but for some odd reason, they won't come near Harry!! hehe... And yes, we do have to bring Emma a stuffed animal everywhere we go. She loves to "clutch" things in her little paws at all times!
Harry picking out letters. He's SOO smart!
