Rollin' with Emery

Back and forth.

Emery Falls Asleep In The Truck

One year older and much wiser...

We celebrated Emery's first birthday at the end of May by getting out of town and hitting the beach (see the pics). She loved getting out of the house, pointing at birds, eating sand and hanging out with the family. It seems like Emery is always smiling but it takes something really special, like a dog, to bring out the laughter. She has 4 teeth and sleeps through the night. She took off walking on Father's Day like it was no big deal. I'm out of school for the summer now and love the leisurely pace of being at home. We'll get back on the road next week for a much needed trip to see my family in California.

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of months:

Emery's Bluebonnet Photo Shoot

Spring has sprung, 10 months old

It's been awhile since the last update but that hasn't stopped Emery from growing and changing. Her first tooth pushed through last week. She's crawling around the house and stairs, leaving us chasing behind her. Already she is standing on her own for stretches of time. She's a cute little squirt, weighing in around 17lbs. Just recently Emery got interested in real food and began eating with gusto. I just put up a few months worth of pictures, please check them out: January, February, March, April

Emery & Katie Hangout

Emery is taking very well to dogs. Even when they are 4 times her size.

Here's some stuff from the last month or so.

Happy New Year!

7 great months of Emery have come and gone. She's getting opinionated about her toys, spending a lot of time babbling and smiling constantly. She does a pretty good job of scooting backwards, but hasn't figured out the forward motion yet. This is very frustrating since she is moving away from her toys and not toward them! This week she's begun getting on all fours and rocking. Even in her sleep she is practicing this "skill." Guess it's time to start buying those gates for the stairs and seriously childproofing the house. She's been busy this week playing with all her new toys, her favorite time is still bath time. So much splashing and squealing! We're looking forward to what lies ahead in the New Year!

We have a backlog of pictures that I am posting from October, November & December.

Her Weight is in the Hair

We had another routine Doctor's visit. Emery is on her 3rd cold in about 6 weeks which appears normal. She weighed in at 13lbs 5 oz and she is 25 inches long. Apparently that is a skinny baby, but since she's sleeping through the night she must have a full tummy. We had the unenjoyable task of 5 more immunizations but she took it like a champ.

Turns out Emery likes to eat! Wonder who she got that from? She's finally enjoying tummy-time and is beginning to scoot a little. I wouldn't call it crawling, but it is the beginning of mobility. She just finished up her 4 month growth spurt and is back to sleeping through the night. She still sleeps swaddled up, but I think it's time to let that go (for safety reasons). Her clothes are getting a little tight so I'm scouting around for 6 month long sleeve clothes. This is when I'm glad I have a little girl because the clothes are so cute! Here is the new October photo album.
