are wonderful. They have been so good to me throughout this entire pregnancy. Emmy understands when I need to lay down during Alison's nap; she happily colors or plays quietly. Alison sometimes gets a little frustrated these days because my lap is just not as comfortable or easy to stay on as it used to be, and she can't see me when she holds onto my legs under my huge belly crying for me to pick her up. I think she senses a big change coming in our family, but she doesn't understand it completely. Here are some fun pictures of my sweethearts from the last couple of months. As Aaron would ask, "Annika are you nesting?" I'm just trying to get caught up on all of the little things in our lives before baby #3 arrives in the next week or so. I hope to find out when I'll be induced on Monday.
The girls are wearing Aaron's race number from the Stansbury Triathlon back in May. We noticed then that it's actually Emmy's birthday - Dec. 29th.
The girls love to pile books up on the couch and "read". Sometime Emmy will make up the stories for Alison.
Alison loves shoes! She is always trying to put on our shoes. She has figured out that Emmy's shoes are the easiest to get on and fit the best.
Emmy earned this lovely fake nails that we found on clearance. She thought they were a lot of fun; however, they only stayed on her fingers for minutes. I think one might have lasted 30 minutes. We keep finding them in odd places around the house and car. Emmy is always excited when she finds one of her lost nails.
Tea party
Silly faces!
Messy face also!
Emmy colored these pictures one afternoon. She wanted them to be taped together to make a big picture. She would draw lines around on the paper and then color what she saw in the lines. It was really cool was she came up with.
Emmy loves to do my hair. This usually means brushing my hair and then putting a lot of bows in. I thought this particular hairdo was great. She said to me, "Mommy, you look so pretty. You look like an angel."
The girls were holding each other's blankets and running around the house attached by the blankets. They were giggling out of control. I love that they are starting to play more together.
We made floats for the girls for the first time a few weeks ago. They were a huge hit.
Alison was covered in Root Beer by the time she finished her float.
Yesterday evening, we were decorating cookies at my parents house. Emmy was the last one to finish. Suddenly we hear this crash, and Emmy trying to get a cry out. She had been sitting in the chair on her knees with her feet sticking out through the back of the chair. When she tried to get herself out of the chair, she some how feel with the chair landing on top of her. We were all there, but no one actually saw what happened. We think she hit her face on the table in the topple, and we weren't sure if she needed stitches or not. We took her to the pediatrician's office, but they sent us to the ER because of the location of the cut. We spent an hour waiting to be seen by the doctor. They put Emmy on a bed out in the hallway. She was very brave. Luckily for us, it was not a deep cut. The doctor was able to clean it up and put the skin glue on, and Emmy walked away good as new. He doesn't think she will even have a scar. We left Alison at my mom's house which helped a lot because there was a lot of waiting. We hope that we never have to make another trip there with Emmy.
