Please pass the cocketballs

Dinner, Pope household, 7pm.

Jemma, pointing across the table, "Mama, Jemma have cocketball?

Tom, whispering to me, "Did she just say cock and balls?"
Me, whispering back, "I think she said chocolate balls."

Jemma, interjecting into our conversation, "Please Jemma have cocketball!" She is becoming a little frustrated at this point.

Tom, "What do you want Jemma?"

Jemma, "Cocketball! Jemma want cocketball!"

And finally, we realize she is pointing at the bowl of olives, which, yes, she thought were chocolate balls. She continued to ask for "cocketballs" throughout dinner!

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Lily started rolling! She rolled over once yesterday and she's done it twice today! This baby is going to be a mover. She thinks she's bigger than she is. She wants to stand and sit up all the time. I think Tom and I might be in for it with her!

Visiting with our cousins Addie and Roman

Jemma changes a diaper

This actually happened a week or so ago, but I just got around to uploading the pictures. I went to the bathroom and came back to find Jemma changing Lily's diaper. Quite a feat considering we use cloth. Jemma had gotten Lily's diaper off, but couldn't figure out how to put the new one on her :)

Cute baby faces

My newish kitchen

Okay, so not so much about the girls, but I had a gift card to IKEA and decided to get some kitchen organization I've been eyeing for quite sometime. Jemma rode in the cart while we were there. Lily rode on me, but no picture of that ;)


So here's the kitchen before...




And after...so much easier to get to everything.



I got a new microwave cart/side table. Now we finally have a place to put potatoes and onions (in the bottom baskets!).


Also, I saw the cutest bunk bed set up that I would love to get for Jemma and Lily once they are sharing a room. Don't you think this would be so fun?! I love that the bottom mattress is on the floor. Perfect for a toddler!

Introducing...

SCARY JEMMA!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!
