New Hobby

Just a few snapshots of our new hobby!

February, it's been a good month!

Emma is excited for Spring!!

February has come and gone, and it was a good one. Emma is clapping now and can wave bye bye. She loves to walk around with her walker and is getting good at it. We even go for walks outside with it. She can also walk with Mommy while only holding one of her hands. She is getting good and I'm thinking it wont be too long till she is off on her own. Poor thing had pink eye last week, but were are just about over it. We have been lucky to not have too many Doctor visits the past 10 months. Speaking of the Doctor, at the last visit Emma was 20 lbs and was 28 1/2 inches tall! Whew, shes a big girl. Smart too, she is so observant and still loves Word World, and American Idol too. I swear she follows the story line in the shows she watches. Right now she is learning to put smaller objects into bigger ones, and she thinks its great that she can hold two things in one hand. Her birthday is around the corner, hard to believe its almost been a year! We are planning a "sweet shop" birthday party, good thing cause this girl loves to eat!

Poor pink eye

Little Lady...bug!

Just waiting on Dada to get out of the shower so we decided to play around with the camera!

has it been 9 months already?

Emma had her 9 month check up today and everything went great. She is doing everything she is supposed to be doing and then some. Dr. Mac was surprised she had so many teeth, almost a mouth full already (well really only 6). She is saying Mama and babababa (??? since she doesn't take a baba) and mimicking other sounds like coughing and laughing. Right now we are working on bye bye and giving kisses. She has gotten to where she will lay her little head on my chest and it just melts your heart (she has never really been a cuddler). She can walk behind her walkers pretty well and she loves to push little buttons (literally, not figuratively ;) She loves the dogs and laughs and laughs at them when they wrestle. Other than that she is just on the move all day crawling around the house and acting like a human vacuum. It only took about 2 dead bugs it the mouth (we live in the country okay) for me to realize we need vacuum every morning now.

crawling

this Santa is tutu cute

Emma can crawl and pull up all on her own now, she is growing too fast. It is very exciting to watch her grow and accomplish all her milestones. We are proud of our little turkey but now it is time to baby proof. I feel like she will be 16 before I know it. I just try to hug her and kiss her and tell her I love her as much as I can because it is true, the do not stay babies forever! Here are some pictures we got taken for Christmas gifts, hope you enjoy.

Wow, it has been a while. Emma is doing great and hitting all her milestones, some early! She can sit and is just about to crawl...she goes on all fours and rocks and then usually thinks better of it and sits back up again. She can get to what she wants inch by inch this way. She has 3 teeth, and one more about to break the skin (I have been so lucky that teething does not make her fussy). Her new thing is to scream, she loves it, and laughs at herself when she does it. She can pull up w/ only a tiny bit of assistance, so it wont be long now, and can stand up anywhere you prop her.

The sign language is also going well. She can recognize the signs for milk and eat. Right now we are working on all done and more. Some others we show her daily are take a bath, I love you, mommy, daddy, and doggie. So far she can do the sign for milk but we are working on the others.

We have been blessed with not too many problems at all, and a very happy baby girl! She has been sick once with a virus, but other then that no rashes, ear infections or colic to speak of. We are very thankful for a beautiful healthy girl.

At the last visit (Nov 2) Emma weighed 17.02 lbs and was 27 inches tall. I'm guessing now she is probably about 18 lbs and 28 inches which means we are going to have to switch out of the infant car seat pretty soon.

Other than that we are just enjoying the time with Daddy :D

*Oh and Emma LOVED the snow, she was just watching it and smiling!!!
