How Time Flies!
Emma at 4 months.
The last 4.5 months have gone by so fast, we can hardly keep up! Emma is growing up before our eyes into a beautiful little girl. On the 8th of March, Emma started laughing for the first time. What a treat! It is so innocent and sweet!
On Monday Emma’s friend, Nora, came over to play for the evening. Ben and I had so much fun watching the girls interact. Nora rolled all around while Emma watched. Nora would steal Emma’s toy, but then Nora would be distracted by Emma’s ear, so Emma would steal the toy back again! We look forward to seeing how close these two will be in the years to come!

Emma and Nora are finally starting to play together.
Nora thought it would be fun to "play" with Emma.
What a sweet picture of them playing side-by-side.
Yesterday, Emma took her first trip to the Mall of America. A lady on the elevator commented, “Her eyes couldn’t get any bigger!” She had fun playing with Oompa while Nona and I shopped. We went to the Carter’s outlet store and found great outfits for Emma. During her awake time this morning we played dress up!

This weekend we are off to Madison once again. Auntie Sue is here from CA, so we are all making the trip down to see Noah! Also, Uncle Steve and my cousins haven’t met Emma, so she is resting up for the big event!
Oh, what a beautiful post about a beautiful girl and family! It comforted my heart, as I was feeling lonely for all of you! So I thought I would check this site and LO and BEHOLD is what I did! She is BEAUTIFUL! Are ‘Oompa and Nona’ your parents? Is it a different language? Love you! So we won’t see you Sunday? MamaDebra

It is a little scary how much like twins Norah and Emma look! And it is also a little scary how close in size they are! Won’t be long before Emma is bigger than Norah, from the looks of things. What beautiful photos! Can’t wait for summer days at the pool…

Cute swimming suit!! I’m longing for Fairfax. We drove by the Holmen pool on Saturday when we were in LAX and it just doesn’t compare =-(. No grassy patch to call our own. Maybe Onalaska’s is better.
