picked on

I know what it's like to be the youngest. Always picked on, accused of being spoiled, never involved in all the fun games. 

 She sits like this every night after dinner, just watching Jonah. I know what she's thinking too. "Maybe this time he won't shove me away." " Maybe just maybe, if I give him a big smile, he'll let me me suck on his trains."

So she goes for it. 

But once again, that million dollar smile doesn't melt his little heart. Instead, he places all toys out of arms reach. Emma's arms that is.

Nice Jonah. 

I wonder what he'll do when she can pull herself up?

fancy

Come on. Did you really think I'd never make my baby girl put on an uncomfortable tutu and do a photo shoot? I've been counting down the days till she could sit up!

What a natural.

wednesday overload

my new ride:

Woo! Hoo! My stroller came last week and my life has forever changed! I was a little worried that Jonah would fight me on this but he thinks it's a  pretty sweet ride too! I guess he was ready for a change. Poor guy went from trying to keep up with me to demanding me to "go mommy! Go!!"

My first Sugar Cookies!!!

Is it sad that I have never made sugar cookies before? Jonah saw a kids show where they made cut out sugar cookies and I knew he would have the time of his life if we did it together. He used his Play Dough rolling pin and cookie cutters. In the end he did care too much for the finished cookies. Maybe he lost his appetite from all the dough he shoved in his mouth?

Kaci and Salesi 

Sadly, this is the only picture I snapped of the night. Kaci whipped up a delicious dinner as usual and for dessert we had strawberry short cake. 

Outdoor fun with Papa

These pictures crack me up! Look at Emma's poor face! I don't think this pool is big enough for a floating saucer.. or maybe Jonah just needs to keep out of Emma's space. My dad was so good about watching them.  Jonah has so much fun at their house. 

Jonah plays with Play Dough every day!

Here he is showing off his pet snake he made. It's so much fun to see him starting to make believe. He comes up with the funniest stuff all day! 

*The other day he was torturing playing with the kitten and he was saying, "I'll tell you what ditty dat!" (ditty dat is kitty cat)

*He took off his poopy diaper and came to me saying, "dosh jaja," (thats how he says Jonah) Don't do dat adain!! Bad boy Jaja! Yucky! Big trouble jaja! don't do dat adain! Big no no!" It made is really hard to know how to discipline him when he was doing it himself! I was trying so hard not to laugh.. he makes it really hard to be mad sometimes. 

*He tells Emma how "dute" she is all the time. 

* he calls every little boy a "boys" and every little girl a "Emma"

I hear him in the play room talking to his trains, saying "woops. sorry train. uh oh! Aero!"

* He is very polite and never forgets to say "Thank you mommy much!" or "thank you daddy much!"

Swimming at Grandpa and Grandma's house

This picture of Emma is so funny because it makes it look like she can't stand the water! But really she loves it. We weren't going to put her in but she wouldn't stop making a fuss over it. Ben is here visiting, and he was the only one who was willing to get in with her and Jonah. 

Grandma (aka Woah Woah or Woe woe or wo wo????) gave Jonah a Thomas boat. Can you tell he was excited??

Zach had to use his parents fax machine before we left and the kids were pooped out. While we were waiting to leave Jonah took off his clothes and made a bed for himself on the couch. They were  ready for bed.
