10 Months Old

Emma turned 10 months old on the 5th. She is at such a FUN stage right now. I enjoy just sitting and watching her explore and play. I cannot wait to wake her up each morning, pick her up each afternoon, and cuddle with her each evening. I am pretty sure that she has me wrapped around her little finger--T would probably agree that he is wrapped up right there with me. I am ok with this fact for right now.

She found the kitty door that leads into our laundry room. I am waiting for the day that I find Em stuck in it---head first. She has a lot of fun pushing the door in and watching it swing back and forth. We have noticed that Em is a VERY curious kiddo---this may get her in some trouble later on.
How can you say "no" to this face and those baby blues?

Play time!

This picture reminds me of a first day of kindergarten pic. Emma looks soooooo BIG! What happened to my baby? :(

I may be able to save a bit of money and get my pedicures done at home. She seems like she knows what she is doing :)

Bodhi usually gets up and walks away from Emma. She may have pulled his beard one too many times. On this occasion, he was very patient with her for about 3 minutes, then he decided that he had had enough and he got up and walked away.

Em's confidence in her walking skills are growing. She is now pulling up on things, then walking to where she wants to go. She realizes that crawing is faster and still chooses crawling over walking when she gets super excited.

Wonderfully Wicked Weekend!!!

T and I went to go see Wicked on Saturday. I did not know much about the story before we went, but I loved it! I laughed, smiled a lot, and even shed a couple tears :) Trav's mom came in to spend the night so we were able to stretch the night out a bit longer. Thanks, Connie!

T had made dinner reservations at a yummy restaurant before the show---great dinner, wine, AND dessert :) My evening could have ended there and it would have been perfect, but Wicked did not disappoint and made the evening that much sweeter!

Em and I cuddling on the couch before she goes down for the night. This is my FAVORITE part of the evening---partly b/c Emma NEVER used to cuddle with me at night, and partly b/c I know that it will not last forever. Travis laughs at me b/c I guess I always have a grin on my face when I am holding Em and she is snuggling.


Em turns 10 months old this Sunday, so I will give a more specific update on Em next week.

These Boots are Made for Walkin'

Ok...so she does not have any boots ...yet, but when she does get some Em will know exactly what to do with them. Emma has started walking. We have posted a video of her trying out her skills. Enjoy!

***Karin pointed out that the first pic in gallery 4 (outside) has Emma mid blink. Karin loved the picture, so she is going to take Em's eyes from another pic and make her bright eyed. Technology is amazing!!! We only have one more session left with Karin. She will take her last pics at 12 months. I am looking forward to enjoying the album of the first year of Em's precious life!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

9 Months Old

Emma had her doctor appointment yesterday for her 9 month check up. Her stats were...height: 29 inches (90th %) and weight: 23 lbs (97th %). At least she is somewhat proportionate. It would be kinda funny if she was 25 inches long and 23 lbs---she would look a bit squishier. At this ripe old age of 9 months Em has learned a lot about herself and this big world around her!

Fearless! Rattlers don't scare me!!!

I am happy just chewing on my "coin".
Emma this is Concrete....Concrete this is Emma

Trav was taking a series of pictures of Emma crawling along the shelf on our sofa table. I guess there was a misstep and Emma went tumbling. You can see her hand trying to catch herself on the back of the sofa, but it was too late...bruise # 101 was formed :)

The next night, Em got introduced to the chair... bruise #102 and 103.

Ah...the important things in life...daddy's wallet and his credit cards :)

Just hanging out...updating her status on Facebook and checking a little email :)
