Week 36 and Week 149

Happy New Year!  William is 36 Weeks old and Emily is 149 Weeks old.  We had a nice relaxing week with Daddy!  Mike had the week off, so we got to enjoy some quality time together!  Yay!  We did some relaxing, shopping, and visiting with family.  We then had some friends over for New Year's Eve.  The kids were really good, Will went to bed at pretty much normal time and Emily stayed up until after 1 when she finally passed out on my lap on the couch.  She really is a party girl!!

Some milestones...I think I can finally say that William no longer has a gooky eye!  It's been over a month now, and his eye has been clear, so maybe, just maybe his tear ducts are clear!  Yippee!!!  He's rolling all over the place, even on his changing table.  Once he's on his belly, he pulls his knees up.  Getting ready to crawl perhaps?  Mommy just isn't ready for her baby to be so big! 

Emily is Little Miss Independent lately.  She insists on doing EVERYTHING herself and she's getting pretty good at it too.  Even though it may take a whole lot longer than it has to, it is nice to be able to tell Emily to get dressed or get her shoes on and she can do it.  It's 2012 and my baby is almost 3.  How did this happen????

Here are some pics of the end of 2011...

Emily's favorite new activity...building Willie walls!

He sure is a keeper!

Will loves his food.  And he's even starting to feed himself finger foods!!

I love standing up!!

Lila and Will.  They had tons of fun visiting.  We'd have a great babysitter if only she didn't live in Maine!

A toddler and a paper bag...all you need for fun!

Emily mastered the somersault and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house.  Carpet is great!

Reading together.  So cute.

Happy New Year!
