February Randomocity Continued

Here's some more random pictures from the second half of February:

Emmalyn not only enjoys sucking her thumb, but she's also discovered how to chew on her own socks and also enjoys sucking on the bottom of shoes and drinking bath water, among other things...


Shaylin got her hands on her uncle Jaycob's harmonica and had fun trying to play it...


We had the opportunity to eat dinner at Jayna's parents house in February with the Bennett family, who moved from our ward into their ward. We really like their family so it was fun getting to hang out with them. Here's Emmalyn having a blast playing with their two youngest boys.


Shaylin got to practice her swing a little bit off the tee at the Brugman's house. You can see that she's actually swinging left handed in this picture, but she also swings right handed sometimes and hits about the same from both sides, so we're still not sure if she'll be right or left handed. You can actually see the pink ball she hit in the lower right hand corner of this picture.


We also got the chance to go feed the ducks in the Villages lake nearby our house. Shaylin loves feeding ducks and had fun trying to throw the bread out as far as she could. Our uncle Tim, aunt Gina, and two of their kids - Savannah and Sydney - were also there. Here's Shaylin with Savannah.


Here's Emmalyn hanging out in the stroller watching them feed the ducks.


Shaylin's hair is growing fast. For a while we were just able to part it and let it curl up on the sides and in the back, but now Jayna is able to do a few different styles, including this new one -half up and half down.


One day Jayna found Emmalyn underneath our little picnic bench that we've had in the house. This is the face she made when Jayna found her and she realized that she was 'stuck.'


Here she is trying to eat her way out.


Emmalyn is such a happy girl (most of the time). Here she is smiling while walking around the kitchen and holding onto the cabinets.


Here's a few pictures that Jayna got of Shaylin one day. There kind of Glamour Shot-esque, but they're cute anyways.


Emmalyn hanging out near the toy kitchen...


This next picture was taken on Feb 23rd, which was actually the day that Emmalyn really started getting good at walking. She was able to take around 10 (or more) steps each time she tried to walk.


Here's Emmalyn pretending to talk on the phone while relaxing on the couch.


Emmalyn still loves to swing.


Jayna's younger sister Jayden is getting married this summer and Shaylin is going to be a flower girl at the wedding. This is the dress that Jayna's mom Jaylene got for Shaylin to wear. It's a 5t, so it's just a little too big, but it should fit just right in a few months at the wedding.


Now that Emmalyn is able to walk and stand on her own she has easier access to some of the food in the Brugman's pantry. One day we looked a way for a minute and when we looked back at her she was making a funny face because she had found some spicy Dorito's and had started chowing down on them.


Jayna and the girls had several opportunities to go to the zoo in February. Here's the girls looking at some of the animals during one of the trips.


Here's Emmalyn taking some notes on the couch...
