Emerson waving and she has teeth folks!

Emerson and Daddy sent me a video while I was away attending my niece's recital. We were teaching her all day how to wave and of course, when I leave, she starts waving! Luckily Uncle Eric got it on tape and sent it to me. Our babe has also cut her two front bottom teeth. She is eating a bunch of solid foods and is getting very quick with her crawling. She immediately brings herself to a stand and cruises on the couch back and fourth. She is a little genius! (haha, had to say that!). Everyone tells me that you can't wait for them to walk, and when they do, you wish you hadn't hoped for that just yet. Of course, I can't wait for her to walk! Oh and she is saying Mama!!! How special do I feel now that I rank up there with Dada?!

Emerson is right on the edge of being a nonstop crawler:) Here is video of her starting to crawl (and another one of her in her bouncer). No teeth yet, but we know that her mouth is bothering her so it should be soon. She has a REALLY eventful weekend. In Dennis' words "I think you just grew up before my eyes." She is pulling herself up too. It is amazing to watch her do all this. It's like she is this little person now and knows it!

Emerson met Elmo!

Emerson went to Bella's birthday party this last weekend and met Elmo! Elmo was.... a very big Elmo. She didn't seem too interested other than to just stare at him. He did some dancing with the kids and made them all balloon animals. Emerson is already 7 months old. The time is flying by. She wants to crawl so bad. She gets on all fours and does the 'butt rock'. She will be crawling in no time. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but those are coming soon too. She likes to chew on her bath toy letters and numbers. She seems to prefer those and wet wash clothes over teething rings. It is so fun to watch her on a daily basis. We can see her mind just racing as she discovers her hands, fingers, nails, toes... It is so cool to say the least.

Emerson's 6 Month Pictures

Emerson got her 6 month pictures taken the other day from her Auntie Angie:) She did such a great job!!! We can't believe that Emerson is already 6 months old. The time has flown by. We heard her say 'dada' a couple times. She doesn't know what she is saying, but you can clearly hear it. It is the cutest  thing. She is talking more and more and screaming and making sounds. She has a lot to tell us! Emerson will be getting her flu shot today at the doctor (along with 3-4 other ones). She does pretty good with shots. It's just her mama that doesn't do so well :(. Here are a couple pictures that Angie took for us.

Babester

Emerson had her first bout with sickness just recently. Double ear infection! Poor girl. Needless to say, Mom and Dad got very little sleep for about 3 days. She was just really uncomfortable and not sleeping. She is all better now though and seems to be cutting some teeth. Nothing yet, but we can definitely see them coming soon. She chews on everything! Whatever is in her path, she will grab and put in her mouth. We can't believe she is already 6 months old on the 2nd of February. Ah! She will be driving before we know it:)

Our Visit with Santa

Emerson got to meet Santa for the first time last night. We waited in line for about 2 hours and she waited patiently with us the whole time and didn't make a peep. I think her being in daycare all day and watching the kids has made her very patient and curious. She just looked around and watched everyone in line until it was her turn. She didn't cry and sat there like she was a little bored. It was so cute! We at least know she isn't scared of Santa.....yet:)

Emerson Laughing

Emerson is laughing and eating rice cereal already. She was even holding the spoon and putting it in her mouth, so she totally gets it. She is going to be a good eater!  She is already 4 months old. It is so fun to watch her grow up. Of course we think she is the smartest baby around:)
