Emma at 9 months

 

Emma brings so much joy into our home.  Harley refers to her as a happy little vegemite.  The month of May we spent a good deal of time traveling in the car. On one trip to San Diego, we only stopped once each direction to change her diaper.  She took her bottle in the car seat and slept the bulk of the way.  She is a trooper!  She decided this month that she prefers what we are eating and drinking as opposed to baby food.  She just pushes the spoon away if we try to sneak it by her.  She loves watermelon, cantaloupe, and bananas.   She tried a bit of Alaskan cod and wanted more!  She is crawling well and getting into everything.  If you leave the bathroom door open she goes straight for the toilet paper or toilet water.  She really has become more attached to her pacifier which I hope won’t be to our detriment. She has been teething like crazy.  She now has 8 teeth (4 top and 4 bottom).  Her hair is actually starting to grow more like she has a mohawk. She can light up a room with her smiles and laughter. Adam can make her laugh with just one look most of the time.  She claps her hand and likes to play peek-a-boo.  She likes to watch Baby Einstein and wants to follow the boys into their bedroom.  If they won’t let her she sits outside the door waiting for them.  She either gives up or starts crying which none of us can resist.  She’s even cute when she cries.
