Are you ready for this??

Well here it is... the moment you've all been waiting for
(of course when I say "you all" I really mean you, dad :)

Here is my blog post of picture overload!
I barely posted anything from our summer

You knew we had to have one of these pics. . .

Well that sums up our summer - it was so much fun

and we can't believe it went by so fast!
Thanks for looking through ALL of these pics, you're the best

BELIEVE it or NOT, I have more pictures coming
from our fall-time fun (alliteration intentional)...

...but you'll have to be patient, just like you always are :)

Dear mommy

Dear mommy,

I'm already over five months old now, can you believe it??

I've been really busy growing up and learning
how to do lots of things.
Look at all the stuff I can do:

1. I grab anything and everything
within my reach, especially your
hair when you leave it down

2. I started eating rice cereal.
It's really yummy when I actually
swallow it, but it's fun to spit it out too


3. If I try really hard I can roll from
my back to my tummy!
(I've already mastered rolling from my
tummy to my back, piece of cake)

4. I LOVE my new big girl bathtub
I cry every time you take me out

5. Now I can grab my feet when I'm
laying down. But don't worry,
I haven't figured out how to stick
them in my mouth yet

6. I'm really good at bouncing
up and down in my bouncy toy!


7. I'm learning how to sit up all by
myself (but I still need some
help so I don't topple over)

8. I laugh at all your funny faces and
now I can laugh when you tickle me :)

9. And I love to read my books. . .
well, I love to PLAY with my books
while you read them to me!

It's so fun learning all these new things

but I promise I won't grow up too fast :)

Love, Emma
