4 months old!!!

It was a beautiful day in San Francisco! We decided to take a walk down by the Crissy Field Beach. And we can't believe it has already been 4 months since Emma arrived! What a wonderful first 4 months we have had with you baby Emma. We love you so much!

Happy First Birthday Colt!

While we were in Oregon, we got to celebrate my nephew, Colt's first birthday! It seems like yesterday that I flew up to Oregon to meet him - has it really been a year???

Happy Birthday Colty! We love you!

Surprise!

Emma and I traveled to Oregon to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. Bryan, my sister's and I had planned a surprise get together with all her close friends - some from elementary school, high school, college, and later in life. It was super fun! Here are some pictures from the weekend away.

I also got to meet Liv, my new niece! Clay came to the Portland airport to meet us and she also got to meet Emma. Here are the two cousins meeting for the first time. They will have fun growing up together, being just about 2 1/2 months apart. Yay!

Getting ready to roll over (well, almost)!

Happy 2nd Birthday Caden!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I can't believe our baby boy is 2. Where did the last two years go? I know my mom always said that the time seems to fly by especially when you have kids, I couldn't agree more. Our little Caden boy has been such a blessing in our lives. He wasn't the easiest infant, but he was always a happy little guy during the day.
We love you so much mister moo/bugaboo!!! Happy Birthday!!!
Caden has lined up all his little cars into one big train!

Enjoying a cupcake for his big day.
I think this picture captures a perfect toddler - even with a scrape on his eyebrow!

Opening his birthday present

He now loves to unwrap his presents

Loving the choo-choo set mama, dada, and Emma got him

Emma was watching all the fun too!

Birthday Lunch

Caden's 2nd birthday lunch was so cute! We sat at the new table Nana and Bapa got him for his birthday. I asked him what he wanted to eat for lunch and he said "cratuh (crakers), nah (banana), chee (cheese)" I put a candle in his banana and we sang happy birthday. It was sweet - a moment I won't ever forget!

Clapping while I sing happy birthday

Eating his birthday lunch

Emma loves watching Caden - it is so fun to see them together!

Wagon Ride

I love our new neighborhood! This afternoon we went for a stroll in the Wagon. Emma sat in her Bumbo chair in the front and Caden was just hanging out in the back. This was such a cute "Kodak" moment!!!

My two little cuties!

This is our new place-an historical duplex in the Presidio

Silly Hair!

Emma girl, you are too cute!!!

Dawgs!

So fun to see all of Chris's college friends aka "The Dawgs." What a fun night of catching up!

And the two new "honorary dawgs!"

Hmmm....

Lately, Caden has been arranging his cars, well, anything with wheels really, and putting them into a line to make a train. It is something new everyday. I should have been taking pictures of all his line-ups. I just find this so fascinating and cute too!
notice the horse in the dump truck

Sweet baby girl!

Bumbo

Emma's first time trying out the Bumbo chair. I think she liked it!

Storytime Before Bed

Love the story time before bed! Emma likes to listen too!

My 3 favorite people!

Sitting!

Well...kind of! Emma is enjoying the view from a sitting position more and more these days as she takes in the world around her.

Such a smiley girl!!!

A Fun Day in May!

Here we are just playing and enjoying our new place!

Caden and his guitar

Tried to show the size difference, but Caden is too busy to sit still for a second!

Yay Emma! Holding your head up!
