Emma and Ewan's World

As our loyal readers know (yes, all both of you), Suzanne and I talk a lot about change. How our lives changed when we moved to London ( www.imcrossingthepond.blogspot.com ) and how it changed when we moved back, and of course, our most significant change to date, Emma. Well, here we go again, everything just changed this last week. As you can see in the video (warning, it is 7 minutes and 22 seconds long), Emma has made a couple of significant strides in development. She has begun crawling forward, which means that she can now identify a target and head straight for it. This is pretty scary for first time parents who have not childproofed to their own satisfaction. She can open cupboards now. Time to install the latches to keep her out of the sink cupboards. And she has confirmed her first crush. For some reason, she LOVES the opening credits to the show Stargate SG1. She has no interest whatsoever in the television unless the opening credits are on, then suddenly she stares in awe. At first, we thought it was the flashing screen, or perhaps the music, but as you can see by her smooching the Stargate DVD cover, it is really all about Richard Dean Anderson. As always, comments are very welcome, and since I haven't done it in a while, I will beg for some now. Not only do we crave feedback, but we would love to be able to show Emma how much she is loved by showing her what people had to say during her early years.
