Stand up

Emmi has mastered pulling herself up and is now trying to stand on top of things to get higher. She also is a cruiser now like along the couch or footstool in the living room. But still does her army crawl as main mode of transportation. She has climbed the first two stairs to the landing. Tried to scale the bookcase in the living room but just hasn't quite got there yet to get to the top shelf. Lately she has been pulling up on the office window, stand on her tippy toes on top of the Boppy to look out but not really able to see anything. Well today I put a foot stool in front of the window. I stood her on it so she can see out. I am sure it will only be a matter of time she figures out how to climb on the stool herself to look out. Here she is when I put her up to the window (I liked both of these):

Photo Shoot at 9 months

The first few days we were home we stayed with the Baczewski's. Emmi got bonding time with her godfather, Phil, and their boys. Manny kept giving Emmi kisses. It was so cute. Jacob and Phil also got some softball practice in. Of course we didn't take out our camera during those first few days to capture any of those moments.

But Heather took photos. :^) I know we mentioned it in the past but Phil's wife, Heather, does photography as a side business. Definitely call her or check out her website if you have any photography needs and you live in Massachusetts or the area. These were the awesome pictures she took of Emmi just around her house. Thanks as always Heather and Phil for everything.

New Teefs...

Just discovered that Emmi has at least 2 if not 4 teefs coming in. Not the two top middle teefs but the two on the sides of those. I think I feel the middle two, not certain, but the two sides ones I definitely feel. Looks like that explains the diaper rash that has come and gone and come and gone over the past week or so.

Vacation...

We have been living it up in Gardner, then Norwood and now on Cape Cod. Here are some of the recent beach pics.

Emmi is 9 months today!!

Today is Emmi's 9 month birthday. Taryn took her to her appointment as I was stuck at work. But it's ok as our Doctor is great. Taryn called me with stats. She(Emmi not Taryn) weighed in at 19lbs 13oz and measured 28 inches. So she put on a little over 2lbs and grew almost another 2 inches. And still no vaccines!!

It's hard to believe she's been here for that long. Seems like only yesterday I saw her in real life for the first time. So let's recap.

This is the first time we actually saw her. I don't think at this point we knew we were having a girl:

This is one of the first pics of her on the outside. I was glad she didn't come out all slimy.

Although she did have a little poo on her.

Mommy and baby the day we got home:

I think now she is just as big if not bigger than Mickey:

All done up for a walk:

Her first bath: Still on of my favorite pictures of her:

Here she is at 1 month:

First time in the jogger:Day she found her thumb. Now she only sucks the right thumb:

This pic is from March. Can't believe how much she's changed since:

This is from April. Her hair is starting to take shape:
She loves the swing. Which reminds me we haven't been in a while:
Very precious picture. She loves being outside.
My favorite picture of her.
And here we are today:

Diaper Rash :^(

We have been fortunate to have a baby who doesn't get diaper rashes. But this week she got one that didnt go away with Bourdeaux's Butt Paste. Not sure if it is because she is maybe teething, or the Huggies diapers, or the greenbeans she ate.......

To help it get better we have been having naked baby play time in the afternoon when I am done working. As you can see she is just a natural for working it for the camera and climbing up on the stairs.

Or climbing into the plastics cabinet.

Week 37 with updates

Well last week was visit week. We went out to lunch with Uncle John who was in town for business. The same day Cousin Oliver came to town. For those that don't know Cousin Oliver was drafted to the Orioles and is currently playing in the Appalachian Rookie League for the rest of their season. It was only a short 2 1/2 hour drive. We also hope to catch a game before the season is done. Here she is chilling with him:





She is the Queen of pulling up now. She doesn't really care what she pulls up on, from the trash, to a basket, to a shelf or here she is in the living room on the footstool thing:

Then on a sad note the bunnies have gone to see Babci & Grandpa, and Pops. :^(
