Little Miss Trouble!

EM is quite a fast crawler these days and she is getting into everything! It is so much fun watching her grow. The other day, after dinner, Mommy and Daddy were cleaning up their dishes and loading the dishwasher. EM was very quiet and when Daddy turned around he realized that she had reached her bowl, which still had some food in it, and dumped it all over herself. What a mess!

Musical Walker

EM has been having lots of fun with her walkers. She especially likes the one that plays music. She knows how to turn it on and loves to dance to it. We are also impressed to see her actually walking with it now.

Here is our little girl telling us that she is ready for a nap again. This form of communication is so much nicer than crying!

EM has mastered her sippy cup. She acts like she's got it all figured out.
On Saturday Grandpa babysat EM again. EM has taken quite a liking to him lately.

Our little cruiser!

Hi

EM has started to say "Hi" in the last month. At first she'd mainly say it to our cats and to other kids but now she's saying it to just about anybody. She also likes to wave while saying "hi".

All Fours

Lately EM has been motoring around on all fours. Instead of crawling, she sometimes uses the bottoms of her feet to get around. We're not sure if she's just trying to imitate Felix but she sure is having fun doing it.

Sleepy Girl

EM is very cute when she is telling us it is time for her nap. She loves to play and it seems like she doesn't want her playtime to end, so she just lies her head on the floor. She will lie there for a few seconds and then continue to play ... but we know it is time for her to have a nap.

Pregnancy Update

Baby #2 is growing healthily. We had our ultrasound on Tuesday and everything looks good. We are not going to find out if this baby is a boy or girl. The surprise is just so much fun for us. Ali is just starting week 21 of pregnancy. Our due date is officially August 30th.

EM's Game

Lately EM has been having a lot of fun with us chasing after her. She loves to crawl to the bottom of the stairs because she knows that we will come and get her before she goes up. It has turned into a game for her and it is very cute. This continues for many rounds, so we do have baby gates for when we are tired.

Happy Easter

On Saturday EM got to do her first Easter egg hunt...with Mommy's help of course. She enjoyed playing with the plastic eggs. They're just perfect for our little teether. Saturday night Grandpa Rob came over for dinner and babysat while Mommy and Daddy snuck out for a movie. EM showed off all of her tricks on her new music walker.

Good Friday Dress

Friday morning we took EM to a good Friday service. She got all dressed up in her pretty green dress and pink sweater. It's nice to see her fitting into some of the dresses that she was given last summer.

Little Buddies

Last weekend EM had a little friend over. He is only 13 days older than EM. It was cute to see them crawling around together and interacting. The park near our house has side by side baby swings that they got to enjoy together.
