Happy Year of the Snake!

In the spirit of Chinese New Year we decided to get some traditional outfits for the kids and here is the end result.

Arvesito is just over 5 months and weighs a whopping 17 lbs! He still has his ocassional melt downs but has gotten so much better; as long as you keep changing his environment and he is entertained he's happy. He is very strong and very alert but gets bored quickly. Arvesito is on the move army style and is almost doing the official crawl. He can sit up all by himself for long periods of time with the occasional falls. He adores his big sister and watches her every move. He is a momma's boy and whenever I'm around he makes noises to call my attention until I pick him up.

Emily is as sweet as ever. She is very smart and has an amazing memory, she can remember things we've told her only once whether it is a new word or something we were supposed to do. She is very loving to her baby brother and whenever he cries she says "I'm coming baby brother!" and hurries to sing to him. Emily is just a fun little girl who loves to run and bounce everywhere. She still adores her daddy beyond words and tolerates the rest of us. Emily doesn't really like strangers especially if she is in a bad mood; once you're in her circle though you are in to stay!
