Just another weekend......

She's crawling (er, dragging herself) along pretty well, but I won't let her walk much on her own ever since the Nestea Plunge right onto the wooden step. That definitely left a mark. Poor Emma. New favorite food (yes Cheerios are out now) is meat sauce spaghetti (baby style of course). This girl is definitely a meat eater!

Mama's losing her mind....

This lil mama's losing her mind. I got a phone call from Babies r Us.......turns out I left my wallet in the cart outside- AGAIN! Oh yes, and that same friendly manager called again this time too! Twice in three months. Not a very good track record. Must be lack of sleep thanks to the cute teething wonder :) Seriously- do ALL babies get 8 teeth at once? Or are we just really lucky?
We met daddy for lunch today and had a blast. Emma's getting a "spirited" personality these days and today we were just butting heads. Lunch broke that up and we had a lot of fun afterwards (minus the whole wallet fiasco- I wasn't stressed, didn't even know it was gone!) Other news-- I caught Emma trying out her own clappy hands today! Turns out her little hands don't make noise so she wants mama to do it anyways, but still pretty cool. Still loves strumming the guitar and playing with the little spring on her crib base. Grass on bare feet?! Still needs some convincing on that. Not sure what to think about it.
This little picture is me using Emma as a guinea pig for the baby program I'm trying to develop. Looks like she's having fun right? She was scared out of her diaper. This is the ONE out of a million pictures where she's NOT screaming! :) I'm a little nervous to take her to Gymboree on Tuesday. Will I be "that mom" with the screaming kid? Eh....usually am, what do I care? We have fun!
I'm just glad the terrible cold, ear infection and head-to-toe rash (from the penicillin) are finally gone. Now we can just play and have fun!

Little Walker

She's been threatening to get her land legs for some time now.......she can officially walk across the livingroom before teetering over now. YIKES! Guess we better babyproof this house. We've procrastinated long enough I 'spose.

April 25th

Emma learned how to "army crawl" today. Funny thing- we've been trying to "teach" (by this I mean we show her--boy did we look silly--, put her on her knees and push her along, coax her with favorite toys, etc.) for MONTHS. Hmmm...know what finally pushed her to crawl on her own? She wanted Scout's paperwad. And once she got the prize, it went straight to the mouth and that mean mom had to take it away.

She's definitely developing a personality. She understands "no" and doesn't like it one bit! At the sound of the word, she tenses up and screams, turning all red. Yikes! Terrible twos? Umm....try 9 months! And what a sense of humor. She found it funny today to mimic mama and put a sock on her own and her mama's head. And even funnier? Bouncing to Jimmy Eat World and playing with mama's wiggling feet!
