She Can Sit!!

About 2 weeks ago, Emery started sitting up really well. I love that she can sit up, but along with it came the army crawling and I don't think it will be too long before she gets those knees going, too. She is all over the place. She wants to explore everything! We put up the gate at the top of the stairs last week and have had to do a very thorough job of babyproofing. I miss my sweet baby that just sat still on my lap, but it is fun to see her gain some independence and learn by getting around and exploring.

This one just because she's cute.

A Big Preschool Boy

This guy has been so excited for school to start. It has been the one and the only thing to motivate his never ending potty training struggle...we've had a good couple of weeks and I am hoping that it continues! He loves his teacher, Ms. Kim (all I hear these days is 'Ms. Kim said ____). His cousin, Josh is in his same class and I think they love being together. He loves eating lunch at school and just seems so big all of the sudden. I was caught by surprise when I shed a few tears dropping him off the first day. I was so excited for him to be able to go and suddenly I felt so sad that he was leaving me! I think he will have a great year. What a big boy!

The last day of summer...

The last day of summer was the perfect excuse to enjoy a big ice cream cone! Lets just say we had to hose him off outside when he was done. Yum!
