We took the kids to fotolfy again this year and they did not disappoint! I love getting great pictures of my kids! Here is an update on both of them. Emma is almost 7 and Jakob is a little over 2.
Emma
Emma is my spunky loving fun little girl. She loves her friends and is super social. She still loves her stuffed animals and is always wanting more. She is exceling in school and is becoming an excellent reader. She loves her dance class. She loves her family and is always excited when we get to see any of our extended family. She is always ready for a good time and loves to have fun. Emma can be stubborn at times and loves to have things her way, but I think it can be a blessing because she can be more of a leader than a follower. She doesn't always do something just because her friend wants her to do it even if it makes her friend mad. I'm proud of her for that. She loves lots of attention from Mama and Daddy. We like to take her on dates and she is still such a snuggler! We sure love her!
Jakob
Oh this kid! He is quite the 2 year old. He loves to snuggle and play with his sister. He has quite the temper and will hit and throw things when he gets mad which results in timeouts in the corner. He is doing better with his timeouts and will stay in the corner. He is still a little behind in his talking but he is getting there. He can now say:
Mama
Dada
Emma
Sissy
No
Uh-huh
Uh-Oh

Jakob loves to play with cars, trucks, balls, and of course his tools. He loves to his tools and is always "fixing" stuff around the house. He loves anything with buttons or toys that make noise. He is not a great sleeper. He usually wakes up once a night. He has had a harder time ever since we moved to the new house. His favorite thing in the world is his "ducky". He gets so excited every time he sees it. He loves to snuggle especially when he's tired. Jakob loves to play with his sister and they are the best of friends. He loves to hold her hand when they ride in the car. He is not a morning person and only wants me in the morning. Lately he does not like Emma to come near him until he wakes up a little bit. He loves his shows like Chugginton, Handy Manny, and Bob the Builder. He loves other kids and is starting to become social and like playing with them. He gives very gentle hug and kisses to babies. It's so sweet! His good little friend is Covington and they love playing together. Jakob is attached to me but he LOVES when his DaDa comes home! If he thinks he hears Daddy's truck. He points to the door and says "Da, Da?" As soon as he sees Robert he runs up to him and yells Da! Da! He loves Robert to throw him as high as he can in the air! Just like his sister he is an easy kid to love! He is a great kid and we sure love having him in our family!
