The adventures of Zach and Emma: December 2005

Smiles and Giggles! Your very first visit with Santa and you seemed to enjoy your time quite a bit (or his beard was tickling your face)! And well your very first drum was a great success from Santa!

What's happening in our world

Zach is going on two nights (as of May 6) now wearing big boy underpants to bed at night! He conquered potty training about 8 months ago but I think we may even be done with night time pull ups now!
Emma sweet, just a week over her 9 month mark, is now officially crawling! Yes, today, May 7th, she has mastered it and is crawling like a champ! Only about one month of crawling backwards, grunting, shuffling, rolling and getting stuck on all fours. Now my girl is officially mobile. Watch out!
Emma Avanni was baptized on March 9th with lots of friends and family by her side.
Zach boy is binky free! Took a little "creative storytelling" on my part but no more binks!
Emma got her very first tooth! It finally popped through on January 12th.
Zach boy is 99.9% potty trained and doing splendidly in school. "No" and "Self" (as in 'do it myself") are his two favorite things to say.
Emma is rolling both ways and chatting up a storm. As of January 8th "dadadadada" is her new favorite.
Emma rolled over today (November 14) for the first time - from her tummy to her back.
October 19th was sadly my last day with Zach boy and Emma sweetn a home mom. My heart is already breaking thinking about going back to work on Monday. I am going to miss my two little ones sooo much as
Emma girl started sleeping through the night on September 23rd! Hooray for 8 hours straight of sleep! s
Emma Avanni came into our world on July 31st at 7:40 p.m. at 8 pounds 2.6 ounces. She is totally a Murphy girl with her blond hair, blue eyes and pinkee skin. Sweet as ever but of course two weeks into it sleep still is not a big part of her nights (our ours consequently).
Zach boy turned 2 on June 19th! Our handsome boy - can't believe its been 2 whole years already.
As of May 14th we are officially suburbanites and are thoroughly enjoying our new Langhorne digs (except for the work commute).

Look what Zach and Emma are doing now!

Always Amazing Accomplishments. Zach is a no diapers and no binky boy. Emma is a two teeth, lots of babbling and rolling and pulling up sweet girl! Emma had her first trip in a plane this past December as the family flew to Trinidad and TObago for Christmas. Zach boy is potty trained (woo hoo)! Emma is chatting up a storm (so is Zach come to think of it). Emma rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time today November 14th! Zach is singing his ABCs, Your are my sunshine, Sing a Song of Sixpence and counting to 14! Zach is a big boy now going to school for three hours every day. Emma is sleeping for 8 hours at night - in her bed! She is napping well during the day as well - in her swing though!. Emma is also all smiles when she is awake (once she is fed and not ready for a nap). Zach is doing tumbles on his own, knows his favorite books by heart chiming in with the words very often, can count - he often starts at 2, repeats 7 and skips 5 but otherwise he is an expert counter! Loves to dance (especially when naked), sings Old McDonald and the Ole Ole song with us in perfect tune! He has way more words than I can count. Always ready to give a hug and kiss. Cars and trucks and vans remain a steady fascination. Expert runner, jumper, ball kicker and hopper! Hugs and kisses Murphy every morning when he wakes up. Likes to "help" mom cook, sweep and feed Murph.
