Matchy-matchy

So a while back I made Gabriela a skirt that I loved, but she couldn't stand. I had enough for another, but decided to turn it into a dress for Emalyn. I blogged about that and it turned out so cute! She loves it and wears it all the time, yay!! Gabriela decided she wanted one too, just not a skirt again. I was hesitant to make another, but after some time, she kept insisting and so I made one for her. She loved it the first day {the day I took pictures} and that's about it. So, it looks like Ema will have another one waiting for her to wear in a year.

Ema has ALWAYS had personal boundary issues with Gabriela. Every since she was born, Gabriela loves her to death, literally. She's very aggressive with her affection and Ema screams every time Gabriela even starts to get close. Some days it's funny, others not so much. Don't worry, we're always practicing appropriate affection; I just don't think Gabriela wants to do anything that requires less than every ounce of energy she's got in her.

By themselves sitting pretty...

Trying to take a picture of my canvas/fabric project. Again you can see Ema's not excited about a kiss from Gabs. {you have to enlarge it to see her face and body language - classic}

Emalyn is a girly-girl. Isa & Gabs not so much. Sure they love to dress up just like any other little girl, but never did they start so young! Ema has been scooting around in my heels for months, while wearing a purse, necklaces, sunglasses, and holding a cell phone. Oh man! It's quite a sight to see her scooting around with her lead foot in a shoe, all dressed up. That first picture shows her scoot. She goes around like she doesn't have a left leg, she uses her right foot and her left hand. Funny girl. She finally started walking full-time about 2 weeks ago, just in time for her 18 month appointment!

She definitely loves to imitate and has caught on to the beginnings of imaginary play with the girls. It's too cute. Can you tell I spend a lot of time on the sewing machine?? She knows exactly what to do!
