Dr. visit for emmy

Emmlyn had her 6 month check up today to finish off her shots for a while. I believe it was 5 shots today. She took it like a champ and only cried when she got it but was back to being happy right after them. Her current health report says shes the following:
weight 16.2 and in the 75% amongst her peers.
height is 28 and is she has no percentage because shes above average.
head circumference is 17 and in the 75 % range.

Shes getting so big.

Emmy on the move! Get out tha way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emmy for the last week has found out she can crawl. She first started off really well going backwards, but has slowly learned thats really silly to be crawling backwards everywhere. So now she has found the strength to push herself off the ground completely and very slowly move forwards. This is good because it crazy watching her roll everywhere to get where she wanted.

Some intresting tidbits about the Emminator,

Shes becoming more vocal than ever. If her cousin (only 7 weeks older) is screaming, she will scream back quickly to get him quiet.

She will eat ANYTHING! If you can grind it up in the food mill she will eat it.

When she passes gas it sounds like a grown man. Its true.

Recently found that she can play with and hold a toy with her feet and hands at the same time.

Shes loves to smile.

A few days ago Emmy was playing on her mat, and started crying. When I turned to look at her she managed to get her binky stuck behind her ear. All, I can say is she is her fathers daughter.

These are some pictures of my recent trip to Havasupi Indian Reservation this last May. The air was hot and the water was freezing, but its quite beautiful there. Worth the 14 mile hike to its campgrounds. Yes the water is really that color!





























You would have expected the rocks to be very slippery but it was quite the opposite, they were very rugged. It would have been very hard to have fallen when walking around in the water.
This small pool was also extremely deep, as some old guy in a speedo demonstrated for us.







This was about a 40 to 50 foot waterfall that had a trail to the top where you would hold onto a rope as you would climb down to a good jumping spot. Yeah, I didnt do that.

It was a horrible trip due to my knees, but it was worth seeing the waterfalls. Nothing quite like it. All of these waterfalls, and some I didnt get pictures of, are buried at the bottom of a canyon in a oasis. Its extremely wooded and great for camping. Very busy though.

New blog

Hello, we figured this would be a great way (having a blog) for everyone to keep up with us. Especially with Emmy as she seems to grow up too fast.
