Fun trips

We took a short hike around St. Vrain Park last weekend, it was beautiful weather outside, and her sunglasses were handy! She is doing better every day with her head control and loves to sit upright to look out at things. She's not able to sit alone, but likes the bumbo and to be propped with a pillow. You'll also see several cute pictures in some cute clothes that she has.

We spent our first overnight out of this house. We went to the Ranch with Jon, Cassie, and Trevor Busch and had a nice time. It was quite chilly and rained for most of the weekend, but we had fun chasing Trevor around and watching Emma and Trevor interact. He was very sweet and gave her some fall aspen leaves, we think it may be a sign of a long lasting friendship, if not an engagement gift of some kind. She did great sleeping in a foreign place and didn't even seem fazed at all.

She is very close to rolling over now in the other direction. She seems to be 80% of the way there from her back to her belly. She scoots all the way around in a circle, pushing herself with her legs in the process. Quite funny to watch.

Oh and I almost forgot, there are a couple pictures of her reward to Tracy for playing with her after eating a big bottle. Bottoms up!

P.S. We found out that baby Vielehr has joined the world today. Their son Riley was born this morning! So excited to have another baby around!!! Congrats to them!

Enjoy the latest pictures!

More Firsts

Well a lot has happened in the last week since we posted. Emma did end up getting some sort of stomach bug. She is fine now and it could have been a lot worse, but let me just say watching a 3 month old vomit is not so much fun. She is back to normal. However, Tracy and I again were ill over the weekend. We're thinking it was food related instead of a virus. Not sure that makes it any better.

Emma also had her first elk bugling trip!!! It was successful and we saw some good elk, heard some good calls, got to watch a couple bulls push each other around, watch one move his heard across the road and into the other valley, and hear some babies and females making noise too. Despite the cool breeze, she enjoyed being outdoors as usual and we had a great time. Grandma and Grandpa were there too and we got to have a picnic in the woods. She loves to be bundled!

She has been laughing a lot lately which is fun. Often I'm not sure what she even is laughing at, I mean we aren't purposefully making her laugh. But she just will chuckle. Quite funny. Also, once she's laughed at something, she rarely will laugh at the same thing again. We have had to be pretty creative at times to hear that sound.

And saving the best for last.....today she rolled over for the first time! She rolled from laying on her belly to laying on her back! She did it three times in a row so it wasn't a fluke! Did it the same way each time, rolling on her left side, so pushing with her right arm. What a super star! :) Check out the pictures, they are mostly elk bugling I think.
