Merry Christmas!

Emma's First Christmas was a huge hit! Between family and friends the kids got everything they wanted. Alex got lots of cool toys and games. Emma got developmentally appropriate toys that she loves interacting with. Alex really loves the toys Emma got too, he loves showing her how to play with them.

Halloween 2008

On a cool, nippy Friday night, emma experienced her first Halloween. She spent the day in an adorable black shirt with a row of pumpkins across the top. After watching big brother and dad carve a jack-o-lantern we headed out to our friends' house that live in a better neighborhood for trick-or-treating. Alex was BumbleBee from the animated Transformers series and emma was a pink bear. The girls stayed home while all the boys went out for candy. Alex got to hang with his friends, Chirstopher, Robert and Kayla which he had a great time with. It was a lot of fun watching emma's expressions of kids' costumes as they came to the door for treats. I can't wait for next year when she will get to go out trick-or-treating with her big brother.

Being a Big Brother

Alex says to me, "Mom, I'm glad we have a baby." He also calls emma, "his baby." I was so worried when I found out I was pregnant about how Alex would handle no longer being the only child. He had only child syndrome like you wouldn't believe. Even though there are seven years between the two of them, they love each other very much. emma lights up when she sees Alex. I'm so glad they have each other.
