Cuteness abounds

With a 3-year old and a 7.5-month old at our house, things are never boring, rarely quiet and often crazy cute. We keep busy with Ryan's nursery school, playdates, errands and lots of very repetetive imaginary play. Emily is growing so fast and learning new baby tricks all the time. She sits up well now (well, most of the time) and claps and waves. She's even getting her first two teeth at the moment (yay!) Here is a sampling of some recent cuteness in our neck of the woods.

Ryan has been digging the warm weather as well, of course:
Emily is sitting more and more steadily each day. Here's our big girl showing off her skills:
