My First Christmas!

Emily had a great first Christmas! She was spoiled rotten and got lots of great gifts: a super cool chair with her name on it, a new car seat, play house, bubble mower and lots of other neat toys and clothes. Of course she was more interested in the ribbons and paper!

Another Tooth

The fourth tooth has appeared! Another bottom tooth on her right side. Not quite her two front teeth for Christmas but pretty exciting anyway. Christmas pictures to follow soon...

7 Months!

Here are some pictures of the girl on her 7 month birthday. We don't have much exciting planned since it is 8 degrees out today.

Hi Santa!

Emily went to the Parents as Teachers holiday gathering this morning. She visited with Santa, took a "sleigh" ride and played with some fun toys. It was a nice event which she will enjoy even more when she is older and can participate in even more stuff (like the peppermint play-do and building a jingle bell bracelet).

Teeth!

The third tooth has been spotted! The top left front tooth has just broken through the surface. It can't be seen too well yet but it can definitely be felt!

How I spent week 29...

This is just before it became covered in peas.

Emily's First Snow

Emily experienced snow for the first time on 11/30/08. She's not too sure what to make of it......

Six Month Check-Up

Emily had her check up Friday and got a glowing report. She is now 26.5" long and weighs 17.5 lbs. It ends up she is big for her age...around 80th percentile for both height and weight. Apparently she doesn't take after her mom who didn't make the growth chart until she was 16.
