"Can you believe this guy? He calls this programming!"

 

 

"Uncle Drew just give me the laptop I'll show you how..."

 

 

"You need something Pops?"

Emma - 7 Months Old

My ball of goo is 7 months old!! 

Emma is full of energy and on the go 24/7. If you put her down in the living room and go to the kitchen, she WILL find you... she might be sobbing and army crawling but she will do it! We can run races with her up and down the hallway as she chases us in her walker. The last week or so she's started to pull herself onto things. She's active even when she is sleeping... basically doing laps around her crib. I spend my days trying to harness this energy, stopping her from putting everything in her mouth and enjoying her little changes. The last few days she's started to "talk" with little coos and goos. The picture below captures her mid-coo. 

Like the last couple of months, the photo shoot was interesting. I had to stop her from eating her foot...

...eating the "set"...

...being silly... 

..and being sad. 

She's easy to turn around though.

 

That's my chick! 

I Love Google Auto Awesome

This is an "artsy" film made by Google Auto Awesome. I loaded some short videos into Google Photos just to save them. It made an "Auto Awesome" video of them. Laughing butt off commencing. Update: Can't get the sound to work on here... this is the direct link. 

Emma's Buggy

Walkers are banned here but our neighbor bought one in the states and let us borrow it. Emma is a fan. :)

 

 

Kitchen Adventures: Solid Food!

Emma is 6 months old so that means we get to start solid-ish foods. We started today with puréed carrots. She was... less than thrilled. :)

 

 

Happy Birthday G-Ma!

Emma and I had a blast trying to get the picture of G-Ma's birthday card. Happy Birthday G-Ma! I can't wait to see you in 15 days-ish!

Emma - 6 Months Old

The photo sessions keep getting more challenging... she's so active!!

I can't believe it's her half birthday... 6 months went by so quickly. The most surprising thing is that the last few weeks Emma has had leaps and bounds in her development. She can pretty much get to where she wants to go by rolling and scooting along - not full on crawling yet. She bum rocks frequently. She cut 2 teeth in the last 2 weeks and she's mostly stable sitting up. Not to mention the "first contact" we had. The changes just keep on coming. 

For most of the photo session, she was like this. :P 

Deep thinker...

..."are you done mommy?"

Emma These Days

Busy. Everything goes in her mouth. If it has a tag, you can't pry it out of her hands. She can sit on her own but occasionally gets too excited and falls over. :P

 

 

First Contact

I remember the first Emma smiled at me... the first time she responded to some sign language (when we sign "food" or "more", she will smile when she wants to say yes)... the first time she laughed when Ian tossed her around. But this was different. Emma played peekaboo with me. Totally random. I was looking at a book. She was sitting next to me. I noticed she was pulling at the blanket that her toys were sitting on. This is what happened next. First contact. :)
