grass tickles toes

Here are some pics a friend took (thanks Amanda!) of Emma Jane being coaxed by an overenthusiastic mama! She was a little tentative to take steps in the grass. I guess it tickled her toes!

We met our friends at the botanical gardens last night to listen to a steel breeze band. Although we were quite miserable in the STEAMING South Carolina heat, it was fun to watch the girls "groove" to the music!

Emma Jane had her first official playdate in her new playroom. Fun was had by all and NO crying! Of course, that's the norm with these sweet girls. Emma Jane, Addie, and Kaitlyn are hilarious to watch. Of course, it's probably more exciting for the moms as we gleefully shout every time one of our girls does something "amazing" like drinking through a straw, crawling through a tunnel, or standing up with no hands! Chewing on Emma Jane's shoes may have been the highlight for them all! The mamas enjoyed a nice lunch, too!

live, laugh, play!

Emma Jane's playroom is complete! It is so nice to have a safe "baby proof" place for her to play. She LOVES to discover new ways to play with her old toys. It's so much fun to see how her "play" changes from day to day. Her favorite game is crawling through her tunnel to find mom or dad on the other side. She also has fun taking her books and toys one by one out of the baskets and throwing them off to one side until she finds what she wants. The best part is she can make a great BIG mess and she knows mama will clean it all up for her!
