EKH & OCH Week 34

Dear Emma Kate and Olivia,

This week was great! It was Daddy's first week back to keeping all three of you again. He is done with grad school! WHOOP! And you girls were so good for him! :)

Teething is the main thing that is going on with you two girls! You girls are putting EVERYTHING in your mouths. Daddy felt you gums and said they have a lot of ridges...so we are thinking teeth may be coming soon.

Olivia, you are a mover! You are starting to get it the position to crawl. You push up and get your feet moving but you move backwards a little. But boy, you know how to get around the room by crawling. And you're fast! We will put you down and within seconds you are across the room. :)

EK, you are still talking up a storm. You still love to say mama and dada! And your big love right now is the dogs. You love to sit and watch them.

We went and picked strawberries this week and you girls enjoyed watching. O, you wanted to eat one of the strawberries soo bad!

You girls are really enjoying meal time. You eat anything we give you girls. You've been eating baby food, bananas, and teething biscuits. Mommy made you girls some homemade teething biscuits and you girls LOVED them! It was super easy to make them and we like knowing exactly what's in them.

You girls have done good in your room, but EK you are not wanting to fall asleep in your bed. You've been in the swing a lot for going down at night...we are going to have to wean you from that very soon. You did so good for awhile.

Saturday we went to the Farmers Market like normal but this Saturday you girls got to swing for the first time and you LOVED it! :)

One of Mommy's favorite pictures of you!

You girls are just so much fun! And love to play. The living room is always filled with toys on the floor for you silly girls.

Olivia, you want to try ANY food that Mommy, Daddy or Tucker have! :) We let you try most things.

And you always seem to sneak in a nap with Mommy on the weekends...I don't mind it at all! :)

Yet another wonderful week with our sweet girls! Y'all need to slow down on growing...you're getting so big and doing so many new things!

We love you so much EK and Livi!

love,

Mommy

Strawberry Pickin'

We have a wonderful farm close by that does seasonal things like pumpkins, hayrides, and strawberries. We had talked about taking the kiddos this weekend to pick strawberries but then Wednesday I got an email from my dear friend J that the farm was having a special on Thursday. Because of the rain we had gotten the strawberries needed to be picked and if you picked 3 buckets you only had to pay for 2...so buy 2 get one free! WHOOP!

We loaded up the kiddos when I got home from work and went to pick!

Tuck enjoyed it! He still wasn't feeling 100% so he lasted a few minutes here and there. But they are so easy to pick that he didn't have trouble at all.

The girls sat back and watched. :)

Of course we couldn't keep them out of T's mouth!

We couldn't keep Olivia's hands out of the bucket! :) (I don't think they are supposed to have strawberries until they are year old so we didn't let her eat them.)
