It's been a while!

Wow! I knew it had been a while, but didn't realize it had been 4 months since I have last posted. A lot has happened in 4 months! Emmy has started eating solid foods! We started with rice cereal, then baby food fruits and veggies, and now Emmy is eating baby food fruits and veggies, cheerios, chunks of banana, yogurt, and Baby Mum Mums. She is quite an eater and hasn't met a food she didn't like yet! Wonder where she gets that gene? She has six teeth! There are four on top and two on bottom. She probably drools about one gallon a day!

Emmy is no longer scooting on her belly to get around. She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on any piece of furniture she can. She is into anything that we leave lying around. Her favorites include newspaper, water bottles, remote controls, phones, basically anything that isn't a toy of hers. Her latest favorite trick is pulling up on the coffee table and pushing all of the magazines onto the floor. We have had to move most things out of her reach.

She has so much energy and is so much fun right now. She is babbling all the time, and she is slowly learning to wave bye bye. She loves strolling down to the park to swing in the baby swing. She giggles and babbles the whole time she is in the swing. She lights up when her daddy comes in the door from work.

RL and I had our first trip away from her at the end of February, and Cici came to stay for 4 days. Emmy did great, and we had a nice trip to Cancun with our college friends. We were ready to get back to see our sweet girl.

We are already looking forward to the summer so we can travel to see all of the family and some friends too. Here are a few pictures from the past few months. Sorry there are so many, but it has been a while! These were all pretty difficult to get because Emmy does not sit still for a picture!

 Thanks to Aunt Casey, we got some great pictures from a photographer in Hot Springs. These are three of our favorites. The bottom one is with her cousin Elizabeth...so sweet!

Emmy's first Valentine's Day

"Helping" mommy put away the groceries. Or is she showing off that she can pull up in the refrigerator?

We love strolling through the neighborhood. And it is finally nice enough outside to go on walks!
