Emery is 2

There are so many moments where you think to yourself "This is the cutest kid ever" I have a lot of them, but this one is worth noting. Yesterday Dave and I were sitting on my parents couch. Vince was with Nana and Emery was playing with her new turtle pillow. She brought her pillow over to us and in trying to get on top of it, while it was on top of Dave and I's laps, she headed me in the mouth.... Dave says "are you ok?" followed by a little voice saying "sorry mommy". I almost started to cry it was so cute and sweet. Her birthday party was a hit! Go River!! (he planed a treasure hunt with identifying trees and getting ribbons when you found them.) We had everyone playing from 2 years old to 8 years old. They all loved it. Emery had a blast with all her friends. We had a weather scare, but it only rained a little at the very beginning. Natalie was here as well as the whole Wood's clan, and that was great. We even went to monkey joe's yesterday.

Finally!

.... Vince is not screaming every time we put him down. The last week or so he has made a major change. Up until this point there were three choices, 1) screaming 2) being held 3) sleeping. That was pretty much it. Now he can actually just sit there and hang out, it's amazing. He's smiling and coo'ing (such a weird word). He is 14lbs and 24" (as of this past Tuesday). He is super cute and I just love him so much!

Emery is going to be 2 this weekend...wait what?? we have been parents for 2 years, kinda hard to believe. She has had a rough week. I think it's a combo of things. her molders are coming in, Miss Shalya (her favorite teacher) left the nook, Vince is here, and the household has a bit more stress in it. Last night Dave was giving her a bath and I walked in holding Vince. Dave said Emery is that Vinny? she said "NO, baby". Dave said "Vinny", and again Emery said "NO baby". It was so funny. (and of course this went on for a while)

She has been kind of loosing it more lately. We have cousins in this week and she has been off her normal schedule, that might have something to do with it...then again she is 2 now.

Her go to meals are scrambled eggs, pb&J (either on bread or a spoon), and life cereal. She's still obsessed with cereal bars from whole foods so we keep them with us everywhere we go. She likes fish which is great, and she is pretty good about chicken. She went through a blueberry faze and now is back on bananas and cheese.

BFF

Erin and Travis were in town over the weekend. It went WAY to fast. When i'm with Erin it just seems natural, like we're always together, not like the best friend i haven't seen in over a year. It was so great having them here. We went to the beach and downtown the first two days and then went to the Daniel Island Easter egg hunt (which sucked compared to the Boone Hall one) Coast for dinner and the family circle cup. It was a really great time. I can't wait to see them in June for Nat's wedding.

Vinny is getting fun....i know that sounds bad, but babies aren't that exciting until they can smile. He has been smiling now and looking up at the lights. It's pretty cool. He's finally just chillin sometimes..... before it was either screaming or sleeping, now there are times he just sits there and hangs out. Last night we put both of them in the tube together. Emery was cleaning vinny with a washcloth and holding up the letter V and yelling VINNY! It was super cute.

Em has been having some pain with her teeth lately, and has had this wicked cough for weeks. when we went to the doc they gave us antibiotics but the cough has stuck around. Time to go back to the doc.
