Visit #1 & Snow

What to do when you have Alana & Beau in town? Go mtn biking, expose Beau to new foods, go to the racetrack, and just hang out.

It also snowed today so we were able to play.





Alana was also able to give Emmi her first haircut.

Here they are being silly showing off their teeth, as Emmi has gotten her 4th bottom tooth in finally.

Good times and Emmi seemed to have so much fun. The walking is getting better and better, still not the primary mode of transportation but very close to it.

She did it...

After I got home from work today, I sat down to the computer to check my email quick. Emmi was playing and crawled in to the bathroom. I could hear her opening drawers to the cabinet then all of a sudden I could here her foot steps. And sure enough around the corner comes Emmi walking with a big ol smile on her face right up to me. I immediately had to call her Daddy. This video is when he came home and was showing off her walking skills after she got yogurt all over her shirt during dinner, hence the reason for being topless. :^) Looks like there is no turning back now.

Out with 2008 In with a New Year

We didnt have an eventful New Years Eve since Munchkin was up many times the night before so I wanted to catch up on some rest. Emmi has not been the best sleeper for the past month or two. Always something from a cold, to maybe teething, to maybe developmental, to who knows what.... Tonight I set the expectation for her that we didnt want to see her until the morning. We will see if that works. :^)

She has not taken off walking yet. She does cruise the house holding walls or furniture or whatever to get from room to room. She will take small leaps from say a toy to the couch. The piece of mastering going from sitting to standing without holding anything was underway yesterday. It is just a matter of time.

Here is a pic from New Years Day.

Here are some pics from December when Memere & Grandpy Harley were here. Having a fun time at Imaginon (kids library Uptown). They have all sorts of cool stuff to look at or play with. Have to go back soon. This is a trolley that Memere & Grandpy Harley are sitting in.
