It’s been a long month recovering from colds, stuffy noses and ear infections, but I’m happy to report everyone is finally on the mend. The past few weeks have been full of some exciting times. Both girls are beginning to crawl. Emberlyn has her army crawl down pat and apparently has many places she needs to be ASAP. That girl is FAST. She is also mischievous and is only interested in the things that are a. Not baby proofed and b. Dangerous. But if you’ve ever spent ten minutes with Emmie, that should not surprise you. She finds just about everything hilarious and will always take a brief pause from her very busy life to pose for a picture.
Ainsley is also exploring the world from all fours. However she is content to inspect one location or object for more than .005 seconds, unlike her counterpart. She is a Mommas girl and does not appreciate it when I vanish into thin air (a.k.a. leave the room.) She enjoys being held and would rather I not have any other objectives in life. She is not as generous with her smiles or laughs, but when they make an appearance, they melt your heart.
Both girls are very chatty. Emberlyn is often heard squealing with excitement at the sight of the cat or dog and sings a little song to herself as she falls asleep. Ainsley loves to be part of the conversation and interjects with “EEaahh?? Eaaaahh!!” It’s quite cute.
Cheerios are a new obsession. I came home from a workout the other morning and was greeted by Mike asking if you could either overdose on cheerios or be sent into some kind of Cheerio comatose.
So all is well here. We look forward to the first Christmas. Although it is guaranteed that the boxes and wrapping paper will be a far bigger hit than whatever is hidden inside.
I look forward to the New Year and cannot even begin to imagine the fun and excitement that lies ahead. Each new day is truly a treasure.
