On the Move!

Hi Everyone! Here is a short movie of me crawling, as promised! Each day I go farther and farther! It appears my mommy is redecorating the house too. Yesterday when I woke up from my nap, the very tall, wrought iron candlestick holders by the fireplace were gone. Don't know why she got rid of them, I thought they were really interesting, and I had just started getting a good look at them! Shoot. And, my parents must have recently drank a lot of wine, because ALL of the wine bottles that were JUST at my new reach are now GONE! GEEZ! But no worries, there are a few things I have my eye on - I'm waiting for JUST the right time to explore them, hehe! Don't tell mommy! :)

Oh yes, and yesterday I decided I'd like to read about my mommy and daddy's favorite place, Kauai. The book was really interesting and the pictures are beautiful! I hope I can go there - SOON! :)

A Banner Week-end!

Hi Everyone! I have lots of news to share! Mommy just teached me how to make a list, so I will put my news in a list for you to read! How 'bout that?

--I've recently (last Wednesday) figured out that when you're standing, you can move your feet, and move to different places, like around a table, but only if you hold on real tight.

--On Friday I figured out that just because you're laying down, it doesn't mean you have to STAY like that. You can make yourself sit up, from laying down! Neat!!

--On Saturday I ate PIZZA for dinner! Yum yum!

--On Sunday, I figured out how make my hands and knees work together so that I can CRAWL! I move kinda slow, but that's only because I'm impersonating a turtle. ;) Mommy will post a video of me doing this soon, like when she recharges the batteries in the camera that records movies. ;)

--On Monday, I finished my morning nap and decided I'd like to play, so I sat right up! My mommy came to get me, then said, "Emily!!" Then she ran out and came back with a camera. Here is the picture.

Then the next time I took a nap, my mattress was way lower than it had been. How'd that happen??

It's been a fun few days! Watch for a crawling video coming soon!

Love, Emmy

9 Month Happenings

Hi Everyone! So, I'm 9 months old right now, which mommy says is soooo old. Guess what?? There are some really sharp things in my mouth. Sometimes they hurt me so bad that I get really whiny and need tylenol. When Mommy first discovered my sharp things in my mouth, she got really teary-eyed and sad. And, today apparently she bought me something called a toothbrush? And tooth paste? I have yet to experience these things, but I'm curious as to what they are. I sure hope they're not used IN my mouth, because I don't really like people getting in there lately, because my gums are sore! Hmmmm....what else....I went to St. Louis the last weekend in April and saw my friend Andrew! He can crawl and walk along furniture! Such neat tricks! I might be able to do that, too, someday. I'm looking forward to seeing him again in June when I go to this faraway land called Chicago. Some of my other friends will be there too, like Adele, Andre, and maybe Danny! :) AND, I'll get to see my Godmama Kari! Yippee!!

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks for you to enjoy! And, if you want to see more pictures from my trip to S. Louis, click on Daddy's Pictures, which is one of the links on the left hand part of the screen. Happy Spring Everyone!

Love, Emmy

Andrew, 10 mos, and Emily, 9 mos.

"Playing" with the wipes. (this picture makes Mommy roll her eyes...)

Studying hard! ;)

Chilling with my Uncle Dan.

Ok, so I have a lot of toys. So what?? ;)

Mommy decided one day it would be fun to give me mandarin oranges in a bowl, with a fork.

What was she thinking?? ;)

Mom. Seriously. This is embarrassing. I'm 9 months old for goodness sakes,
I'm practically a teenager!

Lately, I LOVE playing with books. Did you know that if you can figure out how to open them, there are pictures on the inside?? SO COOL! It's real hard to get them open, though, but I really try hard not to give up. ;)
