Loungin' outside :)


And now on the move!!


Rachel and daddy enjoying the shade!


Emily wanted to push Rachel in the stroller! (no, we don't
make Emily wear a helmet when she's outside, she had just
hopped off her trike which she likes to "ride", aka, sit on!)


And they're off!


Cookie monster is as big as Emily which makes it
entertaining to watch when she carries him around!


Rachel's already busy making calls :)

Emily helps get the mail every day!

Rachel can now sit up on her own a little if you give
her something to lean back on. She loves these cups!

A tie-dye birthday cake for Courtney!!


Emily keeping tabs on the badmitton game :)


She cheered everyone on :)


Our teething little one :)

Happy little Rachel!

Emily looking too cool in new sunglasses :P

Lounge mode for the girls :)

Emily really wants to be my little helper these days :)

Rachel loved the red ball too!

A little too big to fit in her mouth, but she still liked it!

Okay, took this picture of Emily at like 2 1/2 months....

And here she is now at 19 months! The chair doesn't look quite so big anymore!

How is it that our baby already seems big? :)

Emily always wants to hold hands with Rachel...cute!

Emily just brought her these toys and Rachel approved :)

Clearly this is the easiest way to move forward... :P

Emily admiring her kitchen set from the couch!

A little more unstable on the grass, but getting the hang of it! :)

Rachel LOVED just being outside!

Awwww...Emily giving Rachel some love :)

Had a blast playing with Ellen on Saturday! She's so fun :)

Took a break to watch some sesame street together :)

Cutie Henry trying out the bouncer :) He babbled with Rachel too!

Rachel and mommy's self portrait session :)
We think we got some good shots!!

Awww....daddy and his girls :)


Emily just before giving Rachel a kiss :)


She's really walking a lot now!


Emily loves wearing her bunny ears and insists that Rachel wears
them too....Rachel was less than impressed but indulged her sister :)


Emily's FAVORITE toy these days! She love to throw
the ball and then chase after it!

Cousin Courtney was in town!


Emily enjoyed having another fun playmate!!


Rachel has been making the funniest face lately and
I actually caught it on camera!!! :P


She still really likes the exersaucer!


Grandma, Rachel and Courtney before heading
outside into the kiddie pool!


Emily before getting in!

I was planning on a great pool shot here, but
apparently the water was NOT as warm as the
bath so both of them were not into it!! Emily did
warm up to it once we all got in too, though :)

Rachel trying out sweet potatoes! Yum! She's not
quite sure how to eat them yet, but seems to like 'em!


Emily enjoying her new toy from Grammy and Grampa!


I think she's making apple soup here :P

We had to hold her in place but Rachel
loved swinging back and forth!!! :)

Our girls having fun on the swings together! :)

Wahoo! :D

Josh playing with Rachel...she's been intrigued
with her hands lately!

A trip to OMSI!
