James and the girls got me an awesome new digital camera for Mother's Day. We got our last digital camera when we got married, so I guess as far as technology goes, our camera was very outdated. The new camera is amazing! It has a feature called smile shutter. It waits to take the picture until the subject smiles. I don't even know how that is possible, but I love it! James was using smile shutter when he took the picture of Stella in her high chair.
Emerson and Stella are eating like crazy! Last week they tried avocado and yogurt. They both loved the new foods! Emerson has still been very fussy in the evenings, and we still don't have any teeth. We have found by trial and error that Emerson seems to do better in the evenings if we can keep her entertained. Unfortunately, that is not always possible. Stella will still tolerate her swing, but Emerson gets more upset when we try the swing. They are finally big enough to sit in their exersaucer and jumperoo, and they seem to enjoy them for very short periods of time. Our house is starting to look like a daycare!

We used to call this our living room, but we should probably start calling it the play room!
