Sew what?

I had a couple mommies over on Saturday night for a craft night. I had decided I wanted to make an outfit for Emmi. So here is a sneak peak since she was fast asleep when I finished.

Her crawl is super fast now, no more army crawl unless she is holding something and trying to crawl. This weekend she pushed her push toy across the room, it stopped at the footstool we have against the couch. She managed to climb on the toy, to the footstool on to the couch. Emmi is taking things to new levels. In the past day or so we have caught her standing for a second or two. Totally random and only on a few occasions but we know what will be coming.

Now that her outfit is done I will have to snap some new pics of her to post up in it. :^)

Pumpkin Patch

The Mommies group I am a part of met at the Pumpkin Patch today. There was a hayride which took us to where the animals were. We saw rabbits, cows, ducks, pigs, and goats. Then when the hayride was over we each got to pick out a pumpkin and could check out a tractor. The tractor was just like the one Jacob used to ride on as a kid at his Pops house. Here are some pics from the day.

As a side note my friend Ashley also let us try her Beco Butterfly carrier while there. Becides the jogging stroller we arent stroller people and we often carry Emmi everywhere. I am in love. I never should have messed with the Bjorn. You can wear it on your back or front. You can use it until they are 45lbs (not sure if Emmi will let me carry her that long). We are on the hunt.

Other random photos to share....

This is what she did with her Halloween decals that are suppose to go on the windows.

Emmi has a new best friend.

100.7 Fever

No that isn't a new radio station. It is what Emmi's temperature got to be yesterday. All day she had a runny nose, as did I. But then around 5:00pm she was very cuddly and warm. So I gave her a bath which seemed to help as she played for a little bit after. But then it got high again when we normally would feed her dinner. She would just lay on one of our shoulders and fall asleep or stare off. Since this was her first fever I was nervous.

We took her for a walk outside around 8:00pm since it was cooler out. The AC in the house was cranking. I just kept trying to nurse her every few hours. Then she came to bed with me and Jacob eventually joined us. It was like a light switched at 11:30 when she was ready to play. Thankfully it broke. She got up two times through the night. Today she she seems fine although she does have a slight stuffy nose. While I have the full blown congestion. :^(

To see your child really sick(she has only had 2 runny noses up until now) for the first time definitely isn't easy. We definitely consider ourselves lucky since she is almost 11 months old with her just having her first fever.

On the go....

Here is a video of her pushing her push toy, sorry was taken later day so the light isnt perfect. Of course we staged it since those first moments never happen with the camera rolling, but she will do this on her own.

Cabbage Patch Kids are her new thing thanks to Memere as you can see she is pushing one and there is one on the floor. For those of you who grew up in the 80's, I am sure your parents, grandparents, aunts, etc stood in lines at the toy store to get you at least one. I was fortunate to have 4 growing up. I recently found out that the "Hospital" where they are born is in Georgia. You know Emmi is going to go there once she is old enough. So go out and get your 25th anniversary Cabbage Patch Kid as they just came out with them.

The Daddy ran away....

but now he is back. It was his first weekend away from Emmi where he was driven to Snowshoe for some Downhill biking with the boys and a free place to stay (can't beat that). Emmi and I kept busy by going to a birthday party. Went running. Went to the playground with Uncle Jason and the boys. Just normal stuff to keep busy.

Over the weekend Emmi pushed her push toy across the living room twice. I didnt capture it on video but hope to soon. She also is doing the normal crawl randomly. She will take a few crawls with a serious look on her face while doing it but then drop down to the army crawl since she can go so much faster.

Emmi loves to read books and empty bookshelves to find the right one. Today I set her up to read to Mickey just so I can show you how big she has gotten. Remember the early pics of her barely half his size.

Then here is a pic of her with American Chop Suey face which shows her 5 teef.
