Happy Birthday Emerson

Emerson had an awesome birthday! She had two cakes (because our homemade Elmo cake was questionable at best) and decided she would rather massage them than eat them. She started out with her first birthday donut and got two really cool presents from mom and dad (her playhouse and climber). The rest of the day was a lot of fun, since everyone came to visit and play! Thanks to all- we all had a really great day!

Hello Fiona!

11 months!

Only one more month and WOW! Emerson is walking now. Crawling is used in moments of frustration... but for the most part she is completely upright (although she has moments of looking a little drunk). Jager and her have found a common ground: string cheese. So their relationship is improving with each cheese stick opened. Emerson will be spending St. Patrick's Day with Grandma Mac and hopefully next year she can go out for a green milk! Congrats to Baby Owen being born healthy and happy!

Double Digits... 10!

We have been working on that walking thing... but crawling is still her world. She manages to get around fine and can climb over anything in her path- including the stairs! Between Grandpa's and her dad she has learned a few new tricks: clicking with her tongue, angry face, waving bye bye and moo for a cow. Thanks to her Grandma she now knows how to woof like a dog. Thank goodness she hasn't tried to mimic everything everyone says!

9 Months in... 9 months out...

So the day after Christmas, Miss Emerson decided that she would crawl and she hasn't stopped yet. She is crawling, standing, walking from furniture piece to piece and every once in a while she will let go in amazement. We are working on walking with the walker and she has perfected the high 5.

Hello 8 Months!

Emerson enjoyed her first Thanksgiving this month, even though she had to have her shots the day before. She was a champ! Barely any sleep and still tons of smiles. This month she has learned how to get into the sitting position herself, pull herself up and drink from a cup with some accuracy!
