Still growing....nothing outlasts Emmie....

Yes, Emmie Rose is six and a half months old already. At her last doctor's appointment she was 26.5 inches long and 17.5 lbs. Congrats to Tif for guessing her weight exactly the morning of without even seeing Emmie. Emmie has become quite mobile and enjoys army crawling/rolling all over the place and exploring. She has learned how to get herself back into a sitting position after she gets on her stomach to get something. It is so much fun watching her learn more and more each day. We went through a week of teething last week. Emmie now has her top front left tooth (to match to pair of front teeth she has on the bottom). When she got her two bottom teeth in she really wasn't that fussy so we thought we got off easy. Errr..Wrong answer. She was constantly whining for about 4 days straight and poor thing, it didn't help that she had her first cold too. So a sore mouth with a stuffed-up nose, that made for a few late/sleepless nights for all of us. But she's over her cold now, so she's been pretty happy the past few days. =o)

First Snowfall

We had our first small snowfall last weekend. Emmie found the snow to be interesting and cold. She wasn't too thrilled with the whole bundling-up process but she did like sledding down the driveway with her daddy.


Warm and toasty



For some reason mommy and daddy seem to think this is fun...

Pennsylvania Farm Show

At the beginning of January we went with our friends David, Hilary, and Abbey to the PA Farm Show in Harrisburg. We enjoyed walking around and looking at a lot of interesting things and eating a lot of good food. We can't wait for next year!

I predict good things for your future



One night Mom was out shopping and I was getting bored. So I was telling Dad how bored I was so he put me up on his shoulders. I liked it so much that he let me sit there and suck on his hair for a whole half hour before Mom got home.



I like to pretend I have long hair



Stretching is a vital part of working out. I call this the foot-in-mouth stretch.
