Life with two...

Definitely more hectic, but also so much fun. Emrey is going through a rough phase, I guess they call it the terrible two's? We are trying our best to remain consistent and love on her and give her as many hugs, kisses, treats and attention when she is obeying! She is definitely still adjusting to having to share mom, but also enjoys getting to do things that baby Eli can't, "because he's still a baby"! She is also speaking in full sentences! Some that make more sense than others. Yesterday, when we were driving up to Houston to meet friends at the park, she said "mommy, I want ABC's all over me"! Emrey is getting over having "fifth's disease" aka slapped cheek...it's pretty contagious for young kids, but doesn't have any horrible side effects. It started with really bright cheeks for a couple weeks, that literally looked like they were swollen and then moved to a rash on her legs and arms! She didn't seem bothered by it at all. Emrey and Eli were also both sick with pretty bad colds and Eli got his first round of amoxicillin, due to his ears started to get infected...oh the life of a second child. He was up coughing pretty bad for several nights, which kept us all up, but both are doing well now! I just have to remember to finish up his medicine since he's doing better!

I gave her a little haircut a few weeks ago, to try to get rid of the "mullet look" she had going

Eli is smiling, cooing, talking and belly laughing! He actually woke Emrey up the other day, laughing from our bedroom! He is doing great with sleeping and now only gets up once a night/morning. This week, he's been pushing it back farther each night, going to bed at 7/8 and then waking up again at 2,3 and 4! Before we know it he'll be sleeping through the night! The next big transition will be moving him into the big crib in Emrey's room, should be interesting!
