We need to do a bit of catch up due to all the Christmas festivities, so for the next couple of days we will go back in time to see what Emma did over the week of Christmas.

Helping mommy wrap the Christmas presents.

Coming for the camera

Grandma and Grandpa arrived the Thursday before Christmas
and it was time to play a bit with Grandpa and his hat

Was having a bit of fun with Emma and my camera a few days ago and thought I would share a few images that make Donald and I smile instantly every time we look at them. They are a bit odd, but really fun images of our little girl.

I caught her in the middle of blowing "raspberries" at me

Here she was crawling up my lap to get a closer look at the camera and how it worked

Just a wonderful profile of those amazing cheeks!

Donald, Emma and I just spent a week in Grand Junction Colorado visiting my mom, dad, my sister Linette her family and my sister Bernadette and her family. We had a great time! It's been 5 years since I have had Thanksgiving with my family and it was wonderful having us all together. Emma loved all the attention, and my nieces couldn't get enough of her. I didn't take near enough photos, but here are some to share

My youngest niece Sarah(turns 12 tomorrow) holding Emma after a wonderful Turkey Dinner

Emma eating her first Thanksgiving meal, I don't think there was a food she didn't like.

Just a few more pictures of Emma as the little Lady Bird

May everyone have a happy and safe Halloween

Emma always wakes up with a ready smile and in a great mood. Suzanne caught that wonderful demeanor on tape when she went to wake Emma on Wednesday.

Suzanne caught some great footage of Emma laughing. Suzanne was going through some old magazines and every time she tore out a page, Emma would burst into fits of laughter. A quick scramble for the video camera means we get to share.

Guess who's 9 months old!!

That's right our little Emma. Who isn't so little any more she is now 29 1/2 inches long and weights in at 17 lbs and 13 oz. The Doctor is so proud of all her new developments. She crawls, sits up on her own, loves to stand with some help, is babbling like crazy, and has two teeth. She gets to eat finger foods now, but I am not rushing out the door to purchase them. I am too afraid of choking. She gets to start the stage 3 foods and is also in her 9 to 12 and 12 month old clothes.
