There she goes!!!

Em enjoys looking outside the window. She has just gotten stable enough to stand on her own (with something to support herself).
PARENTING 101 (the nonexample)
T and I have been extremely busy on the weekends getting things checked off our "to do" list for the house. I was busy doing something and T was getting Em's dinner ready. Trav wanted to keep Em occupied for a couple of minutes b/c she was unusually fussy. He thought he would put on Kung Fu Panda and see if Em would be entertained. She LOVED it and sat there mesmerized and relaxing in her excersaucer. We do not make a habit of sitting Em in front of the TV, but we know it will work if we need it in a pinch.

Emma has been watching us eat food lately and looks longingly at whatever we are putting in our mouth. I guess mushed carrots do not even come close to a hamburger :) I was eating peach popsicle and wanted to see Em's reaction to the cold and the taste of something other than her bland food choices. She seemed to enjoy it and was not fazed by the cold.

Emma has gotten better and better at moving around. Her latest method move forward has been knee scoots and lunges. She is trying to get to the laptop which has a video on it with a gingerbread man. He dances and sings and she really likes it and slaps her thighs and squeals for more when it is finished.
