Guess Who's Crawling!

 Emmitt, of course! Well, he's actually been crawling for a month now.

 And he's in to everything.

 Can't be mad at this face though!

 He's particularly fond of paper. And shoes. We definitely don't need a dog.

 He found a piece of blue streamer at a birthday celebration a few weeks ago. Obviously, it turned his mouth blue (and anything else it touched). He later found a red piece. I then tore down and threw away the streamers.

 He also has two teeth. They came in the week after Christmas. I just hadn't dedicated a picture to the new buckers yet.

Love that smile! He really likes to bite though. He's given me a few bruises on my arms, so I'm a little scared for him to get more teeth.

Seriously, Emmitt! He is the messiest eater! I admit, I don't really enjoy feeding him solids. He always grabs the spoon, gets the food all over his hands, and then rubs his eyes or something like that. That exact sequence of events preceded this picture.

There are a few more new posts after this one. I haven't felt like anything too interesting has gone on, so I didn't think much about posting. I was surprised though at how many pictures I had on the camera. Enjoy!

Stickers

Mila got a book of stickers for her birthday, and I have been finding them EVERYWHERE! 

 The wall. This is just one victim of many.

 Doors.

 Silverware. I admit, that's a creative place.

 Tables. Good job on following the curved line.

The counter.
A laptop box.
I've found them in the carpet, in Emmitt's mouth, on all of our clothes, well..you get the idea. I will never be free of them!

Best Buds

 I have been really lucky that Mila and Emmitt LOVE to be with each other. They have so much fun playing and laughing together. I love hearing them giggle in the next room!

 Ok. I just love this picture of Mila! It is so funny! She still has the chubbiest face. She was way chubbier than Emmitt is. I guess he is way more active way earlier than she was, too. Maybe that's partly why. I don't know.

 So sweet :) I must admit, my faith that Mila will ever have hair on the sides of her head is beginning to waver. I keep having to cut the back to keep the mullet under control.

 Sometimes I put Emmitt in the high chair while I cook, and Mila will then drag it over to her little table and play with him. They were playing with Guess Who pieces. Emmitt ate so many of the little cards that we threw the game away.

 Mila got into the colanders one day and thought they made fun hats. She made sure Emmitt got a chance to try on
 Every
 Single
One.

My Silly Girl

 This little snowman was so cute! Sam and Mila built it. I wanted to get a picture of them together with their snowman, but Mila wouldn't get closer to the snowman than this. She's so funny sometimes.

 Terra sent her kids' old Ipods out to us and Mila has been loving it. There are some movies and cartoons on them and she will go get the Ipod, put on the giant, adult-size headphones, curl up on the couch, and enjoy. This particular picture made me laugh because of her hair.

 See! She loves it!

 We were eating some salad at lunch one day, and she lined up all her celery along the fork handle. I've never thought to do that.

A few days later, while snacking on some carrots, she decided to decorate the stuffed animal with them.

 I was getting in my bed one night and pulled back my blankets to find one of Mila's babies sleeping in my bed. Whenever she puts something down to sleep, it always sleeps face-down.

 Mila loves to play with and eat ANY type of dough--bread dough, cookie dough, pizza dough, salt dough, whatever. She also is obsessed with turning said dough into "snakes." There's a whole family here.

She saw Tori laying on the couch and wanted to do it too. The ottoman was a perfect fit. Another scrunchy-faced smile from my silly girl :)

 From the kitchen I saw that she had something on her face. But what?

Her cousin's upside-down glasses! Silly me. Of course you need someone else's upside-down glasses when watching a movie.

Just love the random smiles and laughs this girl brings to my life!
