Silly Emma

Here is a video of Emma being silly. She discovered how to make this mouth noise and it was really cute.

Emma Can Walk!

It's been a while, so here are some updates!

1. Emma is walking!

2. Mommy went back to work.

3. Emma stays with her great grandparents twice a week, and goes to The Goddard School the other 3 days per week. (We're still getting used to this)

4. Emma repeats several words and short phrases that she hears often

Though Emma can walk now, she's still wobbly and has fallen backwards a couple of times- which scares us to pieces. She is getting more brave and yesterday ventured out into the middle of the family room by herself and was able to sit down without crashing!

Some words that Emma knows: ball (first word), doggie, duck, baby, bebe (Spanish for baby), hi, bye, Ben (but she says "beh"), Mommy, Daddy, Gay Gay, Gram, Mimi, and probably some others that I am forgetting. We're working on Pop Pop, Grandma, Grandpa, Papa, and Aunt Heather! She also says "good day" a lot because we often say "have a good day" when we leave her- it's so cute. She also occasionally watches a show called Yo Gabba Gabba, and we think she calls it "Gobby"- she says that while she looks at the TV. It's amazing to see all of the things she learned since turning 1. She still only has 2 teeth, but can eat lots of different foods. She's even learned to dip her waffles in syrup- I think maybe Ben taught her to do that! We can't wait to see what she'll do next.

4th of July

We went to Tyler, TX and spent the 4th of July at our family's lake house-- and Emma went for her first swim in Lake Tyler!! She loved it, and loved the boat rides. It was really hot and she got a little heat rash, but seemed to have a great time anyway. Uncle Nathan and Aunt Mary joined us, and we all had a blast with Grandma & Grandpa Cone. Here are some pictures from our weekend.

On the Move

Here is a recent video of Emma learning how to scoot. So far these are her attempts to crawl- she may be doing the real thing very soon. But right now Emma is mostly happy to hold our hands (or her new walker- thanks Grandma & Grandpa Cone!) and walk all over the house. Whether it's on all fours or two legs, there's no doubt that she's moving on her own agenda!
