Happy Mommy's Day!


It was wonderful waking up on Sunday morning to Emerson saying
"Happy Mommy's Day!" She was so cute trying to carry three cards and a present to my side of the bed. We had a great day going to brunch with Will's cousin Kevin, his wife Mary and their new baby, Henry, who was born 11 days before Sydney.

I'm a Big Sister Now

We came home from the hospital three weeks ago today and Emerson is enjoying being a big sister! She likes to help feed "Baby Sydney," help change her diaper and is already bossing her little sister around! Although Emerson has tried to get attention with a fake cry a few times, we've been focusing on pointing out the special things she gets to do because she's a big girl, such as sleeping in her big girl bed which she's been doing now for two weeks! One of Emerson's favorites is that she can drink apple juice, but "Baby Sydney" can only drink milk! Sydney definitely enjoys having her big sister around. Her most alert time of the day is when Emerson comes home from school in the afternoons.

Happy Birthday to Emmie!

Emerson turned 2 on April 27th. We had a birthday party for her on Saturday, April 26th. Everyone thought we were crazy for having the party since Sydney was born only one week earlier, but she was so excited about her party there was no way we could have canceled it. The night Sydney was born Emerson spent the night with Nana and Poppy and the next morning they heard her singing Happy Birthday to herself when she woke up. Below are some videos from the party. Emerson definitely enjoys being the center of attention!
