Fall leaves and pineapple butt

Emma enjoyed her fall leaf mobile and looked very cute in her pineapple outfit! She continues to thrive and seems very happy. At day care they say that she has adjusted very well and even though she is the youngest, she figured out how to distinguish herself...she has become the loudest! They said she doesn't just sit and fuss, she will almost instantly start screaming for something (this is her 0-60 that we've talked about before). They said it's very easy to figure out what she needs as its one of the basic things: poopy diaper, tired, hungry, or needs to burp. She's getting a lot better with her head control and enjoys the new view. It seems too early for teeth but she certainly is drooling a lot! She missed the mild flu that Tracy and I both had this past weekend. Thank goodness! She didn't need the Pedialyte that I had purchased "just in case" so that's always a good thing.

Check out her latest pictures that were posted 9-23-07! She's a cutie!

Aquarium 101

Emma finally made a trip to the Denver Aquarium today. It was pretty cool and she did a great job there. She was very aware of what was around her and looked at a lot of fish. Not a lot of expressions, but lots of staring!!!

This weeks picture recap: last weekend, she was all dressed up for Baby Boy Viehler's shower. You will see pics of her in her dress shoes and party outfit. There are also pictures of her trying the Bumbo chair for the first time and then a couple days later. She liked it much better the second time around! You'll see a couple pictures of her finding her fists and being absolutely mesmerized by them. Very cute to watch. And of course, some smiles!!! She's getting a lot stronger with her neck and is gaining decent head control overall. Each week is better and better for that! She's quite a kid!

First Day at Day Care

I dropped Emma off at about 7:30 this morning and through the tears I was able to say good bye. She enjoyed swaying in a little chair as I wiped my eyes and let her stay behind. Very hard but all in all not too bad. She had a somewhat fussy day, clearly it was because she loves being with me instead, I'm going to ignore the possibility that it's because it was a more busy place than our house. They said she did well for her first day, I guess I should take solace in that. When we got home, she was all smiles and didn't seem fazed at all which was nice. She proceeded to reward my taking her to day care by throwing up just as I went to kiss her and some of it got into my mouth. Yuck!

Other than that she is all smiles these days which is really fun and she is about to laugh...at least that's what her big toothless open mouth seems to say to me.

In this group you will see her next to Griffin Mahoney, he's about 3 weeks younger than she is and is bigger than Emma!! He's a big boy! A picture with my Aunt Barb who was here for a visit. And also several pictures of Emma up at the Ranch. Her first trip up there. We also brough Grandma Keeney along as she visited for the week. Weather was great! She enjoyed laying in the grass and we assembled her tent for her which she liked to play in as well. Sunglasses were a big hit!!!
