Time is flying!

I can't believe it has been another week already. I am adjusted to being a mommy of two... but haven't quite caught up on all chores! I will get there soon, I'm sure. I just wanted to share a few pictures from this last week. Emma is growing and changing every day. She is so beautiful and so precious. Luke has been calling her 'princess' or just Em. It's really cute. We went to the doctor yesterday for checkups and all is well. Emma is perfectly healthy. She now weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz. and is almost 21 inches. And she definitely has some healthy lungs!

Noah weighed in at 27 lbs. 2 oz. and is 33 inches tall. The doctor was pleased to report that his body is catching up with his head! She also said that he is above average in his speech (typical for his age is 3-5 words... he has at least ten!) And she is not worried about him not walking yet. She said in her experience, early talkers = late walkers. Hmmm. She said if he is not walking by 18 months, we need to go back in. But he is moving well and she thinks he is just a scaredy cat. She predicts he will walk on his own within 3 weeks but we have been saying that for about 2 months now! We'll just have to wait and see.


Noah really does love Emma. It is so cute to see him get so concerned if she starts to fuss or cry. He loves to give her kisses on the head and help burp her after a feeding. He even tries to share toys which is so great! It has been lots of fun to see him interact with her and it makes me very excited for the future!

Oh my gosh! Look how cute your kids are! :) SO ADORABLE! Two is definitely a change - but such a fun one! It's incredible how much the first one grows up once they are not baby anymore! Good luck and continue to post pictures - they make me so happy!

She is so cute. I look and she is still small. So I think. Ok I can deal with the one I am carrying now. I can't wait to see how Hannah reacts to Rya. Your kids are so adorable. WE have cute grand kids

OMG...your kids are the cutest! I love the first pic of the two of them, you can see his chubby cheeks hang down. SO cute. That's great he's doing such a good job. My kids all had huge heads too...I was a little concerned at first! But they grew into them! Your little girl is so cute...it's so fun to have a girl!

YOUR KIDS ARE SO ADORABLE! :) I'm sorry I missed you guys at Rosemarie's on Sunday! I really wanted to see Emma! :) I'm sure Noah is going to be a great older brother, and always protect her!!! :)

Wow, you are amazing to already feel adjusted to two. And give yourself a break on the chores. Will is 7 months already and I am just starting to get caught up! :) And Noah looks so cute holding his little sister. Such a cute little family.

Megan, she is absolutely adorable! I can't believe that our babies are only four days apart!!! I've been so busy adjusting to my new life with two that I forgot you were doing the same! Congrats!
