Happy 5th Birthday Emma!!!
Birthday Celebration~Day #1:
Ready to bring her birthday snack to school! :)
Today our "baby" is 5 years old! Emma's birthday celebration began on Thursday when she took Winnie the Pooh cupcakes and ice cream to school to share with her classmates at snack time. Emma carried the little bag containing party horns, plates and napkins...she was VERY excited. :) Yesterday we had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party at home; Emma's friend Mandy Rose and her Mommy came to celebrate with us. The girls enjoyed playing with each other! This morning I brought bagels from Panera-Emma's current favorite restaurant. We put five candles in Emma's bagel and sang to her. After her birthday bagel she opened presents and from the expression on her face I think that she was pleased with her gifts. :) Saturday, May 2, 2009
Saturday Pictures...SURPRISE!
Three HAPPY Montieth Ladies:
I was excited because Greg and I had a "date" tonight. And, the girls were excited because their new sitter Tori was coming over to eat pizza and play with them. We ALL had a good time! :)
Although they don't always see eye to eye, Emma and Sophie truly love one another. Sophie had a wet diaper and Emma took it upon herself to change Sophie. She did the entire thing by herself and did a good job too! :P
The pictures are a bit blurry and dark (stupid camera!!). Yet, they were TOO funny not to post!

Rain = No Pictures!
We have had A LOT of rain. And, it has cooled off here...the thermometer has stayed in the 50's & 60's this week. Everything outside is soggy and cold-yuck!! So, I have not had a lot of photo opportunities...which explains why I have not posted. :)
Emma will turn 5 next Sunday, I almost can not believe it! She will be bringing a "Pooh" cake to school next week to celebrate with her little friends. Then on Saturday she will be having a "Strawberry Shortcake" party at home with Sophie and their friend Mandy Rose. Each year there seems to be a developmental milestone reached around her birthday. Last year Emma gave up her daily nap the very same week that she turned 4. This week Emma has been doing a very good job of using her words. She is using correct pronouns more consistently and speaking in full sentences much more often. She is insistent on getting herself dressed ("by myself"!!) every day & she does a good job! When she needs help with something she is asking for help instead of screaming. Greg and I are SO PROUD of her! :) When you are the parent of a unique child like Emma you learn not to concern yourself with things that are age appropriate. It's simply not fair to your child or yourself; you WILL end up driving yourself crazy and miss all of the GOOD moments. And, there are so many.
Sophie is doing well too. :) She had 3 vaccinations this week; of course she cried but the tears stopped as soon as we left the doctors office-I think that the rubber cow-duck that she received as compensation helped too! :) She will not need any more shots until Kindergarten. Sophie tested positive for parasites-Giardia-a couple of weeks ago. (The test involved a tiny plastic spoon-that is all that you need to know!!). She took special antibiotics and we will be retesting her on Monday just to make sure that the medicine did its job. We also visited a Special Diseases Doctor last month to address Sophie's Hep B status. After a thorough blood panel--6 vials--we have learned that she has "Chronic Hepatitis B". This is actually "good" news because it is better than her having "Active" Hep B which would require treatment. Her liver is fine for now, which we were thrilled to learn! We will be monitoring her status with blood work every 3 months for the next year; if her levels do not go up then we will do blood work just twice a year. Sophie can put on her own shoes now and get her self UNdressed. She repeats almost every english word that she hears; her 3 favorites are "Hi!.....Thank You!....and EAT"! :)
I will post pictures the next time! :)

The Park
I took the girls to the park for a little while on Thursday afternoon. It was a gorgeous day! Below are the pictures that I captured. These are "natural" pictures...meaning that Emma and Sophie are not always "happy" and smiling! Which my posts may sometimes lead you to believe! ;)
Emma leads the way....
Teaching Sophie how to climb up the wall...and not leaving her a lot of room. 
The slide was a bit hot...
Sophie's turn....
Emma was bouncing the teeter toter a little bit too fast and Sophie was afraid!
Oh Mommy, it is REALLY warm and crowded here today...do we have to pose for another picture?!
Emma LOVES the swings....
And, Sophie not so much. We are still easing her into the whole park thing, she is going to get a lot of practice this summer!

"Hold on tight Sophie"!!! (Emma loves this teeter toter).
Here is the full view shot. Sorry that it's off center... it was bright out and I coudn't see very well. The dumb looking kid in the backround climbed onto the middle as I was finishing the picture & started to jump...he recieved a little scold from me. I am sure that his white trash mom was eating a bag of chips and sucking down a sugary pepsi on a park bench somewhere. ;P
