May 9th

I know that I haven't updated this all week but it has been a very busy week. These are pictures of this whole week since I have been a slacker, at least with my pictures. I still can't seem to get these pictures in the right order either. Anyhow, Ci Ci and Aunt Peggy came to visit us on Thursday. They were on their way to a graduation in Virginia so they only stayed one night but it was really great to see them. They could not believe how much Emma has grown and how big Ethan is. Ethan really enjoyed Ci Ci playing with him. Here she is helping him do a puzzle before heading off to bed.
Here are Emma and Ethan with Aunt Peggy, or rather great aunt Peggy.
Ci Ci loving on Ethan and Emma.
This is a picture of Emma in her outfit that she wore in the hospital. This is the same outfit that she wore for her hospital pictures. She looks very different in it now.

These are a few pictures of Ethan playing baseball in the backyard. (There is also a video of him hitting the ball.) He did really well with hitting and chasing the ball. He is quite the little slugger.
Here Ethan is throwing the ball. He is also a good fielder.
Here Emma is trying to find her thumbs. She has really taken an interest in her hands lately and, as you can see in the picture, has actually managed to get that thumb from time to time.
She is such a happy baby. Here she is sitting on the bed with Mommy and smiling from ear to ear. She loves to "talk" to Mommy.

She is also becoming quite the little cook. She and Daddy were making something really good for dinner.

Here is Ethan hitting the ball with Daddy in the backyard. We seem to have a real ball player on our hands here.
