It's been a while since our last post and I'm not about to try and go back over all that time! Emily is doing great. She goes for her first checkup and shots today, June 23. She's growing like a weed. She's starting to smile a lot, and even laugh a little bit. She likes to be up on your shoulder so she can see everything and is able to really hold her head up now good. She is sleeping through the night, which is definetely a good thing now that Eric and I are both working again.
Carrie is getting really good at being the big sister. She likes to help out, especially giving Emily her pacifier back when she's dropped it. She also likes to help burp Emily. We're working on getting Carrie potty trained, which hasn't been so easy since we can't give it our full attention. But she is doing better every week, so that's good.
I started back to work yesterday and it wasn't so bad. Emily starts school on July 6th, so she has about a week and a half to go. I'm excited for her to start, because for at least a few weeks, she'll be the only one in her class. That means we'll be getting private care for her for half the cost, and that's something to be excited about!
We've had an exciting summer so far. Last weekend, Ike and Karly and their kids came up to NC from TX and the kids got to play together and even had a trip to the zoo. Carrie had her first dairy farm trip with her Papa Tom. She was pretty scared of the big cows, but when we got to the babies and also the pigs, she was all excited.
Stay tuned for more pictures soon!
