Mmmmm Food!

Three words: EMILY LOVES FOOD!
The girl can't get enough. Eggs... cheese... crackers... noodles... veggies... fruit... toast... you name it, she'll eat it. And she'll like it. We haven't found anything that she won't eat. She even says YUM YUM when she eats!! So cute!
Here are a couple pics Daddy took with his phone...
Mmmmm eggs!
Blue eyes feeding her face.

And then here are some random photos. Can you believe she's nine months old!?

She likes snow.

The past two weeks have been full of milestones... Emily started crawling, and then two days later she started standing! Plus she'll play peek-a-boo with us now, instead of the other way around! She's learned to turn pages on her touchy-feely books and likes to feel all the different textures in "That's Not My Monkey" and "That's Not My Snowman." She loves brushing her teeth/gums... and loves feeding herself. (She actually just sucks on the toothbrush and spoon... but at least she gets the right end in her mouth!)

It's hard to believe she'll be nine months old on Monday! And Toby and I notice every day how quickly our little girl is growing up; she's turning into a little person instead of a baby. And she has quite the personality!

Here are a handful of random pictures from the past few weeks.

Standing. Yikes!


Rockin' her new shades.


Damn messy biscuits.


Let me out of here!

Buddy Belly!!

Enjoying the comforts of her new "big girl" car seat!


Super Bowl Sunday. She's been watching football since she was born... but this is the first time she touched a football... she was really excited!!


And last, but not least... the only way we can get her to go to sleep now. If we lay her down in her crib or cot, she insists on sitting up and crying. But, if we put her in the swing...

Emily Crawling!!

Emily crawled for the first time on Jan 27th... Grandma Nancy's 60th Birthday! Here's a video of her THIRD time crawling... the first two times, she was crawling TO my phone that was laying on the rug. So this time, I had to put something else down for her to crawl to... she didn't do AS GOOD of a job, because she wasn't nearly as excited to crawl to a piece of paper! But she still did a good job.
I'll take some more video tonight... she's come a long way in just a few days!!!



I'm glad Emily was kind enough to share this experience with the girls at Creative Xpressions Salon in Lake Geneva... they love her! And they were so happy to be part of this moment!

Laughing Emily

There's nothing better than a laughing baby... especially when it's Emily!! ENJOY!
