Emmy is all over the place with her crawling and climbing anything she can get close to. She mastered crawling about two weeks ago, and within a week of that milestone, starting pulling herself up to a standing position. She is really on the move, giving no break for her parents to catch up! We weren't supposed to have to child proof everything for another couple months! Here is some footage of our little sweetie!

crawling like MAD!!!!

Since she turned 6 months old, Emmy started doing the belly flop and crawl thing. Now that shes 7 months old, shes at full speed and determined to explore. We figured that she would take a break and get used to this crawling thing for a while, but now it seems that she wants to go straight into pulling herself up and standing mode. She has two toy bins she likes to crawl over too and pull herself up to stand to look in. *Note: When I mean stand its a wobbley stance, arched over, but she progresses quickly.

Wish I had a picture of her in action, which I should probaly do, but I dont. A video file would be better I suppose.

Emmy likey strawberry

This little device that emmy is chewing on holds food in a tea bag like pouch. You put fruit (or whatever) in it and it filters out the seeds and chunks of food allowing only the juices to go through. Emmy seems to be enjoying her strawberry in this picture through the pounch and the other picture is the aftermath. Its a no cloths function when she is eating like this.

Daddy's little girl

I feel a bit remiss in my blogging efforts. Thought I would make a quick entry. Here is Emms, her Daddy's girl with headphones on - 'geeking it out'. She is doing well, so much fun to be with. She is an unusally great baby. We are so happy to have her in our family. I can't believe she is crawling already and has two teeth, she is probably going to be trouble as a toddler! She is learning to talk a little, knows MaMa, and she now knows who Mama is! Daddy's jealous.

We are so excited for our upcoming trips, Baton Rouge and Roger's wedding in Utah. It will be so good to see lots of family members. Can't wait.

Bekah

Three weeks away

Its only three weeks away from our trip to Baton Rouge where emmy will meet her other grandparents for the first time. Its really exciting for us all. This month is looking to be a busy one as I am trying to wrap up all the financial stuff for my start at ASU. We also have a quick 2 day trip to Utah for bekahs younger brothers wedding.

Sick days

It seems emmys a little under the weather at the moment. Bekah may be a little ill too it seems. Our nephiew who lives close by has a cold so were pretty sure it started there. Emmys not too uncomfortable as she still seems to be in high spirits.
