Emma at the end of August

Matthew loves holding Emma and taking pictures with her.

"I hold it Emma?" was a regular question from Zachary.

 I was trying to get a picture like Makayla's...but now I can't find the non-crying version: http://robandmarseillestephenson.blogspot.com/2012/08/it-bugs-me-when-i-find-pictures-that-i.html

 I was trying to get a picture just like this one: http://robandmarseillestephenson.blogspot.com/2012/05/makayla-pictures.html

So sweet.

Oh wait.

 This one reminds me of E.T. haha

Makayla feels like she's quite grown up and knows just what to do.  She'll start holding her like the little boys, in the crook of her arm, with some pillows, then she'll whip her around and start burping her.  Careful child.  Go slowly.
