Fair warning: We love you enough to warn you that this is chocked full with Momma/Papa pride. It's 10 minutes long.

February
It's a new month...and it's been busy!
Here are a few highlights...
Emma helping me put the bowls away...wait, no...actually she's trying to pull them down.
Emma helping gather a few things around the house, put them on her walker, and bring them to me.
Here she is helping unload the dishwasher.
Her favorite foods vary daily, but this week she's been all about the frozen peas. Who knew.
Happy Valentines Day! We've never been big fans but we did celebrate with wine, cheese and chocolate at the Kershes. Emma loved the wine...just kidding.
More milestones - we turned her car seat around and she's drinking regular milk. When did I become that mom who blogged about her daughter sitting forward in her car seat? Seriously though, it's awesome.Friday, February 06, 2009
Aba!
Go ahead. Call me a slacker.
I haven't updated our blog or taken very many pictures of January's adventures, but then again...if I had documented January's happenings they would have included the following events I'd just as soon forget:
1. Emma getting the stomach flu...twice, and giving it to me, Granny and her Aunt Carly.
2. Emma cutting her top teeth. I now think the homeopathic teething tablets are "cute"...but understand why they make Orajel.
3. An unexpected trip to the ER after Emma fell off her changing table. I'm still working out my guilt issues on this one.
But there are several things worth mentioning:
1. Emma's chattering more than ever, saying Mama, Pup-pup, Baby, Button, Ok, Hi, and her latest favorite...ABA. We're not really sure what it means but it's obviously really important as she uses it for just about everything.
2. Her favorite thing to do these days is to walk around the house (and driveway...and neighborhood) in her walker. I love how much I can get done and she loves the independence. She especially loves to gather things that are her height around the house and bring them to me, including tea towels, candles, cups, bowls, bags, etc. So helpful.
3. I've never seen such a little kid eat so much. Last night for dinner she ate green beans, mixed cereal, a half cup of peas, a peach, 3 slices of cheese, 2 big pretzels and cheerios. Where does it all go?
This month she'll be 1! Stay tuned for more...
