Good Morning!

This morning when I walked into the girls room to get them up, Emily was standing in her crib smiling. Ellery's been doing this for almost 2 months, but Em usually just sits on her knees. She's getting stronger and more confident now and trying to stand on everything. Still can't get down on her own so hopefully she doesn't decide to stand in her crib in the middle of the night or when she's fighting going to sleep. That could be interesting!!

Kisses!

This week the girls have started to give kisses. They will lean in and kiss each other, the dog Chloe, or a stuffed animal. If Andy and I try to get them to kiss us, they usually push us away. :) However, when they really want to they will lean in for a kiss. Ellery's are open mouth and by your nose and Emily's are closed mouth. Emily seem to kiss Chloe the most. I've seen her kiss Chloe's face and her back. It's very sweet to watch! When the girls kiss each other its usually followed by a hair pull or a big push. I've never really been able to get any pictures to show as evidence though. They love each other right!!??!

Spring Break!

For Emily & Ellery's first spring break we planned a long weekend to Sunriver, Oregon with both sets of grandparents. We had a blast!! Emily & Andy had both been sick prior to our trip and I thought Em was on the mend, but the mountain air/elevation really did a number on her. She was very fussy for most of the trip. I felt so bad, I didn't know how to help her. You can see in the pictures below that she just doesn't look like her usual self. She did have some good moments during the daytime especially if she was eating the legs off her animal cookies. We rented a beautiful house that was very cozy, quiet, and in a great location. We took many walks and went to the park for the first time. The girls loved being outside!

On Sunday morning as we were getting ready to leave Emily seemed to be in better spirits. She and Elle slept most of the way home and have both been very happy since then. So Em must not have been a fan of Sunriver.

Thanks grandparents for coming with us on our first big family excursion. We had so much fun and we love you!
