Feeling better already

Imogen turned one a few days ago...she took a few steps on her birthday, but nothing since...If we try to get her to walk on her own, she lets go of our hands, gets the the ground and lays her head down...kind of funny.  However, if we give her our hands, she will "drag" us the full length of the yard...and it's a long yard...hehe

I'm trying to work on her 1st installment of 3 for her 1 year old photo books.  I did 3 for Emmaus and I WILL do 3 for her too!!  Just might take awhile to get the photos uploaded....hehe

We have a huge swing set in our backyard now THANKS to my mom and dad.  It was a birthday present...for Imogen's 1 and Emmaus' 3...it's quite the gift.  I can even climb up the ladder and rock wall, stand up completely in the playhouse without hitting my head and slide down the slide....and both jake and I can swing on the swings...quite heavy duty..again, loving it!

Umm....what else...Emmaus wants to watch movies and shows 24/7.

When he wakes up in the morning, he comes up stairs and says....do you remember when....and he gives us some story from the day before...I love it...or when he says..."Ezra's not coming over today..." haha, this kid cracks me up. 

Imogen is starting to babble a lot more...she is putting things in her mouth all the time...I have to gather up all the small bouncy balls again so we don't have ourselves an accident.

The other day I heard some noises in the bathroom, and everyone was accounted for except Imogen...I walked over to find her not only alone in the bathroom, but up on the sink...rather in the sink....she had crawled up the toilet...used the toilet paper roll as a foot hold and got all the way up into the sink....she wanted to turn it on to wash her hands...one of her favorite pass times....we have to keep the bathroom door closed from now on!...

She loves talking to the phone, whether it's my phone, Jake's phone, or the soft squishy play phone, she looks at it and starts blah blah blah...waiting for someone to talk back...super cute.

She's a big eater....when she wants something she extends her arm and speaks...not sure what...but we know that's when she's commanding us to either give her something, or walk her over to something...she's very much Girl!

She climbed up the ladder to the playground on her own, and crawled to the slide and proceeded to slide down...just needed a tad bit of help getting the shoes out of her way so she could sit down...she's getting so big...and we're loving it.

She's incredibly persistent, much like her brother, much like their mother!!! haha..

Emmaus is such a wiz with his puzzles....he loves the new kitchenette we got from Ikea for Imogen's birthday...he was making me a salad earlier with some salt...and when I thought he was done, he said...wait, a little more...and we play nibbled on the food...at first Imogen was actually putting her mouth on the stuff, then she watched what we were doing,  and started just putting her mouth towards the food instead of eating it...so cute...

Anyhoo..for now these are my joys...figured this would be a better thing to blog about!

Cheers.
