Pictures, Pictures and More Pictures

These pictures sum up all of the pictures taken in the last few months.

We dyed Easter eggs on Monday night. I didn't really intent on dying eggs twice, but I bought the kit on Sunday when Emery was with me and she just couldn't contain herself. First, we have a shot of her hands nearing the end of the process. Emery really didn't like her hands being dirty and whenever she would stop focusing on dying the eggs, she would try to clean them as best as she could.

The dying kit also came with stickers. Of course, anything you leave in front of Paisley ends up in her hands. She was amazed at the stickers sticking to her little fingers ..

Isn't Paisley so stinkin' cute??
Emery went through a stage for a few nights where she wanted to sleep on her floor. I wasn't about to argue with the 3 yr old, so I let her do it. She moved all of her animals (notice the increase in animals she sleeps with nightly?) from her bed to her floor and slept on the floor for 3 night until Ivan put a stop to it. I caught her bright and early one morning and snapped a picture.

Emery loves to cook and bake. We made cookies together one night for my work ..

Paisley has enough hair for pig-tails already. Emery didn't get her first set of pig-tails until she was 9 months old. Paisley has a ton of hair!

I took Emery to Disney on Ice a while back. It was a Mommy/Daughter date and we had a great time. I could have done without the Disney on Ice, but Emery had a blast. Her favorite parts were Cinderella and when Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story came out on the ice.

Ridin' Dirty!

I've added a new song to my playlist to honor Emery's new favorite song. What is her new favorite song, you might ask? Ridin' Dirty by Chamillionaire. I'm not sure that there could be a more inappropriate song that she could have picked, but this is it. She first heard it with Ivan and her first response was, "Papa, I can't understand the words". Apparently, by listening to the song more, and louder each time, she now understands the words. In fact, she has the entire song memorized - word for word. Nice!

Teething Solutions

One night last week, Paisley was in pain due to teething. Ivan was on baby duty and trying to find ways to soothe her. He is one of the most creative people I know and will always find ways to make the girls laugh or feel better when they are sick or in pain.

So, Ivan went to the freezer and got an Otter Pop. He cut around the edges just enough to cut away the sharp edges and let Paisley chew on it to numb her gums. Instantly, she was happy, gnawing away at the Otter Pop even though it wasn't opened. Then, a minute later, we heard slurping sounds. The little stinker had gotten the Otter Pop opened and was sucking the juice out - no wonder she was so happy! I took the Otter Pop away (if I wasn't home, the 7 month old would have likely had her first Otter Pop) and Paisley freaked out. She was so mad - grunting and crying. I brought her another Otter Pop, unopened, and gave it to her. She knew the difference and wanted nothing to do with it. So, we were back to square one with a fussy baby and pulled out the baby Tylenol.
