Oh, Where Did the Last 3 Months Go?

I just looked at the date from my last post and it was almost exactly 3 months ago.  I cannot believe it.  I decided to do just one big catch-up post.  I was so good about documenting all of Madeline's milestones, funny stories, etc.  So I need to record some of Emersyn's highlights so I won't forget.  She continues to be an absolutely delightful, happy baby.  She isn't quite as mellow and quiet as she used to be, but happy, happy, happy.  She has found her voice and tries to compete with Maddie (usually in the car or at the dinner table), but has a way to go since Maddie continues to be a chatterbox.  She says "guess what" just about every time she tells us something and is very into saying "watch this" all day long to show us a new dance move, a karate kick, a drawing, anything.  And if I had a dime for every time she said, "pretend", we'd be rich!
Emersyn, in the last 3 months, has learned lots of new things.  She claps, waves, is now crawling all over, puts her hands up over her head for "so big!", blows kisses and LOVES to eat real food.  We made our own pureed baby food for her this time around and we're having trouble finishing it all, because she just wants to feed herself finger foods.  Sometimes it seems like she'll keep on eating if we keep on giving it to her.     
Madeline continues to be the sweetest big sister.  She really loves Emmie and is amazingly tolerant of getting her hair pulled, shares her toys, and makes Em giggle lots.  She is also a big help by alerting me when Emersyn is doing anything that might possibly be a no-no.  Here are some pictures from the past 3 months.  It seems like I always take pictures on Sunday mornings when we're just hanging out, so they're always in their PJ's.
  Meeting baby Avery Grace!  Such an angel!


Here's a picture of Maddie in this same outfit!

Loves to scrunch her nose when she smiles
