Sibling Rivalry

and so it begins.....

Happy Valentine's Day

James and Emma helped Mommy and Daddy celebrate Valentine's Day and Mommy's birthday with chocolate cake.

Emma put on Daddy's boots to help shovel the snow a couple weeks ago.

15 months!! Sorry no picture today

James rang in his 15 month milestone with a trip to urgent care for a bad cold and fever. He has been hovering between 101 and 103 most of the weekend. The poor guy is simply miserable.

I will get a picture posted later this week when he feels a little better but I wanted to post their stats. James is now 26lbs13oz and 30 1/2 inches. Since Emma didn't make a trip to the doctor, we did her height and weight ourselves. She is now 22lbs and 29 1/2 inches.

They are now getting an extensive vocabulary. Here are a few of their favorites

Ball
More
Mama
Dada
Dardar (Darcy the dog)
Dog
No
Ah oh
Block
Barbara

James has just a few sessions left of physical therapy and will start his 3rd (and last) helmet in two weeks. They are hoping that even though he is 15 months that they can get the one little area to grow in that has not completed yet.

Emma has taken a hiatus from her brief night of walking.

Emma takes a step

I think she did it just because her parents were driving her crazy, but Emma took a few steps on Wednesday night. She hasn't walked much since, but hopefully she has the confidence now to try it again.

Here they are enjoying their rocking lamb and pony that they received for their birthday in November.

Fun in the Snow

14 Months

We have a walker

On January 2nd, James took his first steps. He walked to our good friend Barbara. He was so pleased with himself that he did it a couple times more so we were able to get it on video.

Emma does not seem to be phased by James walking. She has decided that she would rather get around doing somersaults or flopping herself onto the floor.
