She loves running after Harper and Claire though is far from being able to keep up with them. She is great about not putting small things into her mouth which makes watching her a lot easier... until of course she decides to swallow something :( Even when she's eating if she takes a bite that is too big she will just pull it out and take a smaller bite. Watching her eat crunchy things with only her 4 teeth is so funny. She'll put a chip in her mouth and make sure it gets right between those two front top and bottom teeth in order to bite off a tiny piece.
She is eating less these days and as soon is Harper is finished eating she will immediately say all done, up! She demands to wipe her hands and mouth with a baby wipe before she will go and then she is on her way! She's not particularly picky but just not grubbing on food quite as much as she has done previously.
She is still very partial to her parents but will at least venture away from us to go play if there are other strangers in the room. If you ask her if she wants something she will give a very emphatic 'uh nuh' or 'nuh uh'! Poor Christie is our go to babysitter when our nanny can't keep them in the evenings... so Emma Kate gets a little wary when she comes around thinking Mom and Dad will be leaving soon :(
Harper starts school on Wednesday and I got a little sad today thinking about how EK is going to do. Whenever Harper is out of her sight she just wanders around yelling 'Haaarper, Haaarper'. I'm sure she will learn to enjoy the one on one attention soon though :) Plus, EK will be starting mother's day out very soon which is sure to be an exciting new experience for her.
I have to share one little story about Harper - we were at the pool the other day playing with Claire and some other friends and one of the other girls was chasing Claire. Claire was not enjoying this so Harper goes up next to her, puts her arm around her and tells the other girl 'this is my cousin, stop chasing her.' ha! They are the best of buddies!
We had EK's first trip to the lake which was fun! She wasn't so sure about the chilly water at first but got used to it and enjoyed splashing around. Harper also loved tubing with her dad!! We got to meet their future bff, Lilly Claire. Harper thought she was 'so cute' but possibly loved her dog, Louis, a little more. Emma Kate wasn't too interested in the baby but loved testing out her chair and books! :)
We took family pics this past weekend but don't have them back yet but hoping there are some sweet ones of the girls :)
