We were fortunate this past month to spend time with some friends. Emma got to hang out with Mahalia and Aariyah, which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately getting three kids to look at the camera at the same time was literally impossible, so this was the best I could get!
The two older girls got totally busted eating crackers in Mahalia's room! After their little reprimand, they were back out in the living room having a crazy dance party!
Aariyah was even into shaking the booty!
Last weekend, one of my dear friends Sherry came over to give Emma a mini-ballet lesson. Somehow Emma convinced her to go into the ball pit! =) Emma really loved hanging out with her! (And so did I!)
I got a taste of what being a mama of three would be like today! I "babysat" for Kayla and 6 month old Baby Annabella while their mom and daddy went to a wedding. Emma and Kayla loved playing together!
Emma and Annabella could almost be mistaken for sisters! Gave Emma some good practice holding a baby. She loved loved loved the baby!
The girls played dress up and looked mighty adorable in their princess get-up!
Kayla took a photo so I could get a glimpse of me with two! (Not bad if I do say so myself!) I will put this down in writing but as of right now, I am mighty convinced that Baby Bean is a beefy little boy. My pregnancy has been much easier than Emma's (even though her's was not much to complain about). I feel like I'm carrying a bit differently, but who knows! I have just approached the 15 week mark so we should be able to find out if Bean is a he or she in just about a month!
The bi-weekly belly shot. (Don't mind my bad hair or the dark circles under my eyes....it was a looooong day!) My final mention in the post is not a shout-out to a girlfriend, but a shout out to a new boy friend for Emma! Mason Jonas Ratner was born this past week to our dear dear friends Hilary and Dave! We are so happy for them! Larry was at the hospital to welcome baby Mason and hopefully I will get to hold this sweet baby very soon.
We are braving a 3-day family trip to Disneyland tomorrow as an early birthday celebration for Ms. Emma. I can hardly believe she will already be 3 in a couple of weeks! Le sigh....time really does fly! I promise to post lots of pictures!
You are a natural. You are meant to be a Mom and I am very proud of you.
ReplyDeleteEmma is going to be a GREAT big sister!!
Love,
Mom
Maile,
ReplyDeleteLove the blog and thanks for Mason's shout-out! Mason is currently napping on my lap (I better enjoy this while he's still so small!), and we can't wait for you to meet him. Hilary and I are very much looking forward to introducing him to Emma soon, and we're over-the-moon excited for Baby Bean!
Cheers,
Dave
