pouffy bangs and pink elephants!

I had blow dried emma's bangs, and she liked them super pouffy. She also likes this pink elephant toy, which she tries to keep away from Brandon. Brandon did manage to play with it a little bit!

another silly video

it's another funny one. It makes me smile big time! I love my silly emma and laughing Brandon!

Emma clowns around. Brandon laughs!

I think the title says it all..except for that Emma seems uber hyper...

Happy New Years!!

Adventure is out there!

Emma LOVES UP! She says: "Ee-ba cho Up! Unco cho Up! Ellie cho UP!"

Here are some pics of her little goggles and thumbs up look! I couldn't find a pic of the young carl online, though.

I said: Do UP! (and Emma gives me the thumbs up!)

I think there is a great resemblence when Brandon puts on the glasses!!

Here is Brandon...before we (ok, mommy) made him wear the sun glasses! My cutie!

Emma the hugger

mommy: "Emma! Brandon! Look at the camera! (thinks: "for once, both babies look good! Emma's hair is nicely curled in, no stains on shirt)"
Brandon: Yes, mommy?
Emma: looks at Brandon..hmmm

Emma: "oooh..Pic-sha tam pic-sha tam ( Picture time)!!"

Brandon: this can't be a good thing.

Emma: "Look mom! Mom! Hug! Hug Hug em!!"
Mommy: "Emma! Be Gentle! Be nice! EMMA!"

Brandon: no words, just wails.
Emma: "em pic-sha all done. Em pic-sha all done"

Brandon: still wailing...
Mommy: "see, Emma? We have to be gentle with em. That hug was nice, but em didn't like being shoved to the ground."
Emma's little insolent face: PRICELESS. No words necessary.

Brandon's bugged out eyes: save me PLEASE.
