Our Littlest Peanut
Some pictures from the past couple weeks, including the girl's first bath together. Now Zoe requests 'Emma tubbies' every other night.

Emma's Latest Feat
Emma is getting bigger, stronger, and more alert everyday. She's staying up longer and has started to search for her hands and feet. Her favorite activity (whether by choice or not) is to sit in the bouncer and watch her big sister. Zoe definitely gets the biggest smiles. It's pretty cute. Luckily, Emma hasn't lost a foot in the process.

Emma Photoshoot
When Aunt Nats came to visit, she helped Kate with a couple photo shoots of Emma and Zoe (mostly Emma). I've finally had time to poke through them and get them up on the blog. It sounded like it was pretty amusing trying to get these two girls to sit still long enough to get some pictures.

MeeMa & PawPa's Visit
MeeMa and PawPa finally (well finally as in a month ago) had their turn to come and visit and meet Emma. Unfortunately for the second child, the first child seems to still think that whenever we have visitors, they are there to see and play with her only!
In between Emma snuggles, Zoe did get quite a lot of attention and had a ton of fun with MeeMa and PawPa. They went to Happy Hollow, the zoo, and on the Niles Canyon Railroad (which was a big hit for PawPa as well). Unfortunately, we've also figured out that trying to get pictures with the second child is also much more difficult since the first child almost always needs to be occupied. So we don't have many from the visit.
This might have been PawPa's favorite visit with us thus far as well. He is very excited about our new (old) house and all the projects. We had several visits to the hardware store (which now Zoe loves because they have the little kid cart that she can push, so now she gets very excited anytime Daddy needs to go get something). PawPa guided Daddy through his first faucet replacement to about 95% success (the remaining 5% is waiting for when he returns). The old timers also turned back the clock about 15 years and removed the huge 'bee hive', as we called, it in our backyard. That was quite the project!!

Zoe's Birthday Party
So, it's been awhile and we have lots of events and activities to catch up on. We're going to start with Zoe's birthday party. At the time, I would have said we finally had it, but now it seems so long ago, we've already forgotten how long we had to put it off.
Originally, we planned to have the party the weekend Grammy left and Aunt Nats arrived. Grammy helped us get our house all prepped and Aunt Nats, Party Planner Extraordinaire, had prepped all the decorations. Well, Zoe ended up getting sick and everything had to get pushed. We ended up having pseudo celebrations with Grammy and Aunt Nats instead, and saved the full party for when everyone was feeling better.
We finally got to throw the party when MeeMa was visiting, so she got to enjoy all the efforts of Grammy and Aunt Nats! Zoe had a blast with all her friends and cousins. The duck pond was a huge hit and had been most of the summer even after the party! It was super fun being able to actually host a party for the first time since we've been in California. Now we can't wait for Emma's!
(And for those of you keeping count at home, according to Aunt Nat's, having cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cake, and chocolate covered pretzels is evidently not going over-board in her book)
