More catch up...

James loves to eat, he actually eats 6 jars of baby food a day, with rice cereal mixed in, plus he still nurses. He's a big eater just like his daddy. The funniest thing about his eating habits is that he has to cover his ears while he takes bites, we finally got a couple pictures of him doing it. We're not sure what it's all about, but he always covers his ears.

Ever since Emma turned 3 she has been telling me that she is big and strong, which means she needs to help with everything, mostly stuff with James. She has been asking to help feed him so I finally let her, it didn't last long, she was too slow for James, you have to keep it coming for him.

My Dad's ankle has been bugging him a lot again, so he ices it pretty regularly, Emma has caught on to this, and now she likes to ice her foot as well, so she has one of my little icepacks on her foot.

On the morning of the 4th my mom picked raspberries for 2 1/2 hours so that she could make some jam. While we were straightening up Emma was being sneaky (or what she thought was sneaky), and she was getting into the raspberries. We pretended like we didn't see her cause she was being so funny about it. she loves raspberries, and tells us that she wants to eat them forever, too bad the plants will stop producing in the next couple of weeks.

Here are my 2 handsome guys on the 4th

Emma is getting ready to watch the fireworks, this is before the sprinklers went off (thanks mom), and she was still happy.

she has quite the messy face, we had a bbq with some family and a fire, she had just finished eathing a smore.

Emma came out of her room one morning looking like this, she had gone to bed with some shorts on, but decided to get herself dressed, and she wanted to wear this dress.

When I put Emma down for a nap I usually put James in the jumperoo so he doesn't get into everything, he was apparently tired too.

Like I said before, James gets into everything!

Look at that smile, isn't he adorable?
