Cannibal or kiss

Mommy says kiss; daddy cannibal:

Little cuteness

It is hard to believe that Sarah is getting so big.  But she is old enough now to sort of ride on daddy's shoulders:

Sisterly Love

Sarah and Emma really love each other.  Here they are enjoying a wonderful sisterly moment:

Laughing

Sarah has started to give real laughs (though it is super hard to catch on camera).  But mommy snuck a short little snippet of it:

Dance part 2

Emma is still loving dance.  This week she got a nice tutu skirt from Mimi:

And she learned the chicken dance (weddings here we come):

Conversation

Sarah is becoming quite the talker.  Here she is having a conversation with her sister (well, conversation might be a bit strong, as there is huge lag time between speakings):

Ballet

Emma started ballet on Tuesday and boy did she have fun.  Mom had funny making sure she dressed the part, ballet slippers and all:

 Here she is for opening circle:

 Waiting for instructions:

 And getting help from the teacher learning first position (she is all the way in the back, of course):

Here she is doing leg extension (and supposedly also pointing her feet):

Here she is working on first position and plie:

Here she is walking on tiptoes like a butterfly:

Cute baby

Just a cute picture of Sarah in her little hoodie:

Goofing around

Emma loves to dress up and pretend, with just about anything she can get her hands on.  Here she is using the stroller bug net in a more direct fashion:

 And here she is using the baby carrier for her stuffed dog (T-Bone for those who know Clifford):

Gymnastics

So despite mommy's previous sayings, Emma is enrolled in a gymnastics class and really likes it.  Here she is in her brand new leotard;

Here she is at the beginning of class listening to the instructions:

Swinging on the rings:

 Walking across the beam:

And here she is executing a forward roll:

Fashionista

Mommy's little fashionista:

Fun play

Sarah has finally gained a little control over her arms and hands and she loves to "hit" things and then very studiously watch how they move:

Swing

Emma and Sarah went to the playground to play.  And Sarah braved the swings.  First with her sister:

 And then alone:

Rolling again

So, sadly for mommy, just a mere 2 weeks after rolling from tummy to back, Sarah has learned to roll from her back to her stomach.  This is not good news for mommy in terms of mobility:

Mommy had to edit out the portion of her getting to the 1/2 way point (she usually has to pause, for a while, before she can get all the way over).
