Big Girl

Emma is getting to be such a big girl. She now sits in the hair chair like a big girl. We also brought out the jumpie seat....which she loves. This time around its funny to watch because Emma always has a helper to show her how to do things. We tried to give Emma one of those bitter biscuits but she didn't quite get the hang of it like Rileigh did.





Here is Rileigh at the same age as Emma. To me they look totally different but you can tell they are sisters.

Christmas 2009

This Christmas was so fun for us because Rileigh was really into opening presents and her toys. Between Santa gifts,my parents and Scott's parents gifts we've got enough toys for a small army. Out of everything Rileigh got the two things that were her favorite. They were her Minnie Mouse shoes that light up

and a purse that has a hair dryer, curling iron, lipstick etc. Everything a girl needs. She also really like her new Veggie Tale movies! Emma got some teethers and neat toys as well. Here are some pics of the day.

So Sweet

Even when she is sick she is still so happy! Rileigh and Emma both have RSV and Ear infections! Merry Christmas to us breathing treatments and antibiotics.

Bouncy Baby

This video just shows how laid back Emma is. Anything goes, always smiling, always happy! I know this looks scary but Emma was actually laughing.

Is it on straight?

This morning when I was feeding Emma, Rileigh was what I thought in her room. I was wrong. She came out from my bathroom and said "This is Nanas". Nana is my mom who lets Rileigh go through her makeup bag in her purse. Nana also uses clinique lip stick just like the one Rileigh is putting on!


So I went to go write this post and did not take the lipstick away thinking she would continue to put it on her lips......I was wrong yet again!

Poor Emma

Tis the Season

It officially feels like Christmas at the Raftelis home! We've decorated the tree and brought out the winter coats and hats. It's gotten pretty cold here in Georgia. Rileigh of course had a blast decorating the tree. She seemed to of had more fun in the tissue paper that I store the ornaments in.

Here's my little twin all bundled up for the cold.

Tonight we went to a Photographer in Dahlonega for Santa pictures. Santa hid at first and Rileigh and Emma sat in front of the tree together smiling. I did not know the photographer had this planned but Santa snuck around the tree much to Rileigh's surprise. Rileigh just about jumped out of her tights over Emma's head into my arms she was so scared. She would not go anywhere near him, but would talk to him from afar. She told Santa "I want princess, I want "Ora" (Dora), I want "tatoe head" (potato head)! You know she was scared of him when she wouldn't even go up to him to get candy. Emma on the other hand sat on Santa's lap and grinned from ear to ear. Here is a sneak peak of the girls Christmas dresses.
