Everyday Through the IPhone

It seems like whenever I want to take a picture, the moment passes by too quickly and all I have time for is to grab my phone. So hence the very poor quality of pictures. But I still love them. These babies sure make us laugh and smile everyday. 

We are starting to get more and more adventurous as a family of four. It can get quite comical at times. Today I took a picture of Emmett and Kamryn together for the very first time...alone..with no one holding them. It went well until Emmett bopped Kamryn in the head. And he also kept trying to sit on her. She is just the right height. 
But then there are moments when Emmett just wants to kiss his little sis. 
 Emmett is so funny these days. This picture is before I gave him a very needed haircut (I'm pretty sure it's the 8th or 9th time I've given him one since he was born). He also had just gotten into some snacks and I hadn't noticed. 
 One of his favorite places to play is in the dog bed. It is seriously disgusting because he rolls around and lays in it. You just have to laugh about it though.
 And this little girl just turned 3 months. It blows my mind. But we are all very happy to be in this stage of life. Everyone is doing much better. She can be so serious at times, but mostly she is one happy and smiling baby. And she is still so skinny. She has a long way to catch up to her brother!

Birthday Boy!

This little blessing of ours just turned 1! It's so fun to watch him grow but it makes me so so sad at the same time. 

This past year has been such a blessing. We can't imagine life without Emmett. He sure brings a lot of joy and sunshine in our lives and we are always eternally grateful for our Angel and her family that allowed us to have this wonderful boy in our lives. What an amazing journey it has been so far!!

Since turning 1 is quite the milestone, I had to throw a little birthday bash for Emmett and invited our family. The theme was "Airplanes" because every time an airplane flies above our house (which happens quite frequently since we live right by the airport), Emmett stops everything and looks around for it. He will smile and giggle when he actually sees one in the air. So it only seemed fitting to throw him an Airplane Party.
 The birthday cake of course had to have an airplane on it.
We had an airplane throwing contest (which I forgot to take pictures of) and we also played pin the propeller on the airplane. 
An airplane party is not complete without some fun party favors!
 Apparently Emmett was the center of attention because I took no pictures of anyone else at the party. Whoops!

He wasn't so sure of being the center of attention, but quickly got over it once he had his own cake to smash. 
 Happy Birthday cute little boy!
 The cake smash begins!!!
 He was having a good ol' time.
 Yum Yum!
And then he was more interested in the camera. 
 We sure love you Emmett! But stop growing up so fast okay?!
