We hope you all have a great and safe holiday week!
Emma - 5 Months Old
Emma has really started to show her personality. She still is not rolling over, however she will finish the job when assisted. Her latest is grabbing for things. She loves grabbing her animals on her mat. She also loves playing with her linkadoos and looking at herself in the mirror. She talks a lot more than Troy ever did at this age, that I can remember anyway.
Emma has started teething as well, so she is no longer sleeping through the night. Baby Einstein CDs help a lot! However, when you don't suck your thumb or take a pacifier, what else is there? Emma has resorted to sucking on her arm. Usually she has long sleeves on, so that helps. I am hoping she takes something else soon!

Why Did the Turkey Cross the Road?
Answer: Who cares?!! Why is there one running down my street? Sorry, make that 14 of them!!
We Saw Santa!!!
We went to the Mall of America to see Santa this past weekend. Troy did not do well with Santa last year, so it ended up being a family photo. This year was a little better. Santa showed Troy how he makes Thomas the train. Troy was fascinated until it came time to take the picture. Emma could have cared less. It was time for her nap, so Santa decided to cuddle up with her and nap as well. Too cute!!
Christmas Cookies
Troy likes to help me in the kitchen. He will often push a chair in to help wash Emma's feet in the bath, or help with decorating the Christmas cookies. I think he ate more sprinkles than what he put on the cookies. I wonder where he gets that sweet tooth from...
Winter Has Arrived!!
A few weeks ago, the Twin Cities received a lot of snow. It was not quite the blizzard everyone called it. However, Troy and Matt were still able to go out sledding in the backyard. Troy was so cold by the time they finally came in. Even though this was not the first time he has seen snow, it was the first time he realized the effects of snow and how much fun it can be.
The Holidays Are Here!!
The holidays are here, which means Christmas pictures for the Mehlbrech clan. My smiley, jovial 2 year-old, however, was not impressed. Emma was equally unimpressed, especially with her mum, who forgot her formula. Yikes! Luckily we live 5 minutes from the Mall of America.Anyway, Christmas cards should be coming out soon.
Troy - 28 months
Emma - 4 months
