My two little monkeys

I'm sitting here wating for Emma to fall asleep and hoping Noah stays asleep. I really hope she's not outgrowing naps because I don't know what I'll do without my quiet time in the afternoon! Here's a couple updates on the two of them:

Noah has ear infection and has had a bad cold for a month now. I can't wait until he is completely better and starts sleeping for more than 1-2 hour stretches at night. His first tooth just poked through on the bottom and he has started army crawling which is tragic for his big sis. We are now alerted by her screams every time he is getting into her things. He sits at the big table with us in his high chair. Our food is always more appealing than his baby food so he has been eating some table food. He is still Mr. Smiles and gets lots of attention from all of us.

Emma is healthy (for now) and growing up so fast. I can hardly believe that she'll be four in a few months! She is still very into her princesses and her most recent favorite thing is her new purple Rapunzel purse. The girl still loves books and visits to the library. She also really likes coloring and crafts. Ethan bought her a Lego set (a pink girly one) for Christmas and she has fun making little houses for her princesses. Another thing she's been begging to play all of the time is house. Her new kitchen set and shopping cart are getting good use. I either get to be the "little girl"or the "checker lady." We've been listening to these CDs in the car and she loves them. One of her favorites is "a joyful heart is good medicine." The other day she was eating chocolate pudding and improvised a bit to, "a joyful heart is good pudding." Chocolate brings joy to her mom too!

The two are quite a pair. Now to go clean up their messes and finish their laundry before they awake...
