Emma had her two year check up today. We’ve had to postpone Emma getting vaccinations several times now. Every time we go to the dr. she conveniently has a cold or allergies. Today was no exception. However, I was really excited. Emma is now in the 5oth percentile for hieght, 50th percentile for her head and we are holding strong at the 12th percentile for her weight. She is tiny but perfectly healthy, minus the cold/allergies.

On a much happier note, today was our first soccer practice. Check out our girl learning foot action!

I’ve realized that I have saved drafts from Emma’s 1st birthday. So instead of trying to catch up, we’re just going to move forward.

I’m really excited. Emma is starting soccer tomorrow! Neither Doug nor I know a thing about soccer but Emma has shown a great affection for kicking balls and running. What a perfect time to introduce soccer to our girl! She loves being outside and the weather here is finally improving. I’m sure you’ll be getting a ton of new pictures and videos very soon!

Emma had a cupcake on her 1st birthday but she really wasn’t that excited about it. This year, she was a pro! After several birthday parties, Emma can hold her own with a good cupcake. We let her have two on her birthday. Here she is on her 1st birthday and after cupcake #2 on her 2nd birthday!

This year, Doug’s birthday and Father’s Day were on the same day. Since they are so close together I’m sure it’s bound to happen again. We had a great weekend. We actually celebrated his birthday on Saturday so he didn’t miss out on Father’s Day.

Happy Father’s Day and Birthday Doug! We love you more and more every day!

A few photos from the first half of this year, assembled into a video we made at Animoto. Prepared for Mother’s Day.

And already so full of emotion! Is this a sign that we’re starting the Terrible Twos a little early?
