Wecome to the world Baby Emily!!

Lily's baby sister, Emily, was born on 10-16-08.  She is one week old today. She weighs 5 lbs. 8 oz. as of yesterday and is 19 inches long.  Lily is not too sure what to make of her new baby sister, and is definitely showing signs of jealousy.  Emily is with us because I felt that keeping the sisters together is the right thing to do.  We are not sure how long we will have the girls, but we are enjoying them while they are here. (except for my lack of sleep at night) I took them to the doctor's yesterday for check ups and I am so pleased to say that Lily is now in the 50th percentile for height and weight. She isn't walking yet but real close. She turned 13 months yesterday.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Lily to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend.  It was so hot there so we didn't stay too long. Lily looked so cute surrounded by the pumpkins. 

Carter & Lily

Lily and Carter are really beginning to interact with one another now. They play peek-a-boo with each other and follow each other all around the house. Lily is still taking most of the toys away from Carter, but he doesn't seem to mind yet. Carter is pulling himself up to a standing position while holding on to furniture. He will be eight months old in a few days. Lily is ready to walk but is afraid to. I find her standing on her own and then she sits down. Soon she will be cruising around on two feet instead of two knees!
