Being a mom is so amazing! It's amazing to me that even though we have had quite a tough morning, I am still able to update about my daughter with such joy and love! She is learning so much lately!!
-She is a master at rolling over especially when you're trying to change her diaper or get her dressed
-She says Da-da, although not necessarily when she's see's RJ. She babbles all the time and definitely has plenty to say to the world!
-Her new thing to do is shake her head back and forth. She doesn't say no-no yet, but that is DEFinitely what she is saying when she does it. Which is great that she can let us know when a bottle, rocking, playing, etc is not what she wants. Although it makes me a little nervous about her potential attitude.
-When placed in the sitting position she holds it pretty darn well, but I wouldn't leave her sitting without a boppy or pillow or something to catch her, because she's still topples over
-She is trying SOOOO hard to crawl and is SO close! She's up on all fours and bouncing and rocking. She scoots around in a circle all the time!
-She constantly twirling her hands and has started opening and closing them in what looks to me like a wave.
-Her new favorite thing is her toes! I am so happy, I've been waiting almost 7 months for her to discover her little toesies:) She loves to play with them, suck on her big toe, and wiggles them lots!
-Another thing mommy adores is Emma's love of hugs and snuggles. Whether tired, happy, or bashful, she loves to bury her face in your shoulder. These moments make my world go round!
-Emma LOVES Elmo! If she's not taking a nap, we've started watching Seasame Street in the mornings. (I thought it's probably more educational then Price Is Right. And we've been trying to keep our tv watching to a minimum) And whenever Elmo comes on the screen or talks, she cracks the biggest grin and gets all wiggly:)
-She also has become very clingy to mommy.... She is dealing with a liitle separation anxiety lately, even when I leave the room for just a moment. She wants to be able to see me from wherever she is.
-Animals continue to be great entertainment!
Although I love Christmas time, I am sad to see the fall weather come to an end. Emma absolutely loves being outside. And I'm not sure how we will make it through the winter without our stroller rides. We may have to use the unfinished basement to go on "walks."
Emma is full of drama these days good or bad. She is such a girl!!!:) When upset she will through her head back and whine, and when something/someone makes her smile, she not only cracks a huge, 2-toothed grin but she shrieks with delight and we have learned how to make her giggle hysterically which is the BEST! The other day I was laying on the couch with her sitting up on my stomach and she plopped over into the couch cushion. I went, "Emma, what happened!?" She smiled so big with made me laugh, and the more I laughed, the more she laughed. What an amazing blessing it was to share that moment with her as Daddy was walking in the door from work:) My little family is so great!!!!
Well, I'm going to try and get Missy Moo down for a nap, as she got up quite early this morning and has been quite needy.
Our love to all!!
