More Progress

EM is moving around with more ease these days. The end of this video is cute. EM has been repeating sounds that we make and we have a lot of fun with this.

Go Canada Go!

EM's Grandma She-She got her an Olympic track suit and an Olympic mascot named Mukmuk. Thank you Grandma! EM has the Olympic spirit.

EM's Grandma Jo-Ann and many other relatives will be happy to hear that EM also cheers on team USA!

Opening Ceremonies

EM has been sick all week. She has had a fever and has been throwing up. Finally this weekend she is starting to feel better. This is the first time she has been sick and it was no fun for anybody. We are very thankful that she is feeling better and getting back to her active self.

On Friday evening EM watched some of the opening ceremonies. She was quite impressed by all of the different lights. It didn't take long for her to get bored and start pulling our DVDs off of the shelf. We're just happy that she's feeling better!

Bath Time

EM has always seemed to enjoy her bath time. Lately, after we wash her, we drain most of the water out of the tub and let her splash around in very shallow water. She seems to love this - until she finds the plug and pulls it off ... then it's time for her to get out.

On the outside looking in

Now that EM is on the go, there have been a few changes. Felix now knows that the stairs aren't a safe haven from his new best friend. Also, these days we have to keep the cat food off the ground for obvious reasons.

Now that EM can pull herself up to standing, nap times have become somewhat of a challenge. A few minutes after putting her down for a nap, we often hear her start to cry. One of us goes in to her room and usually discovers that she is standing up in her crib. Unfortunately, she doesn't know how to get back down so she gets stuck! She is starting to learn that she might as well just go to sleep and not stand up in her crib. It's a pretty funny stage.

Baby Steps

EM's really been on the go and progressing quickly these days. Our videographer can't keep up with her progress as she's already doing new things since the video was taken. On Friday she climbed our stairs from top to bottom, all fourteen of them! Of course Mommy and Daddy were on either side cheering her on. Go EM go!
