Mountain of gifts

Emma had so many gifts that when we went around and each opened a gift, she had to open 3! The pile of gifts she had was much taller than her. Spoiled kid!!!!!

Christmas Eve and Day pictures

We had a blast celebrating Emma's first Christmas. As predicted she enjoyed the boxes and wrapping paper more than her actual gifts!

Smiling Emma

See those teeth???

One of Emma's gifts

Emma got this cool car that she can either sit on or can stand and use as a walker....very cute.

Couple of changes to the blog features

I have turned on a couple of new features of the blog:

1. You can click on the little email icon just below a post if you want to email that particular post to someone.

2. I have allowed double the days to show on the main page so you can see more of Emma. Only 7 days used to show but now 14 days will show. Of course the archives are always available to see some of the very first posts.

Emma update

We are all VERY excited about celebrating Emma's first Christmas with her. She probably won't know what the heck is going on but she will have plenty of wrapping paper, boxes, and new toys to play with.

She is all over the place these days. She crawls everywhere and is pulling herself up onto everything. All she does is smile. She has 6 teeth. Occasionally she will get into moods where all she will do is scream (especially nice in a restaurant).

She is trying all sorts of foods. In addition to some fun baby foods she has had the following: pancakes, french fries, cole slaw, lemon, turkey curry soup, apricot jam, jam on toast, scrambled egg, hashbrown, stuffing, mashed potatoes, lettuce, radish, red cabbage, different varieties of bread, yogurt.......I am sure she has some other things but that is what I can think of.

Emma is 8 months old today!!

I'd say give her a call on her cell phone but she isn't quite there yet!

Wee'Em and Aunt Jessie

 

Jr (chris) on jury duty

I am on jury duty. Was selected to be on a jury for a criminal trial. Spent all day at the court house today hearing testimony. Tomorrow we will decided the fate of the defendant. I will post specifics if anyone cares once the trial is over.

Retro-Emma

Amazing how much she has grown..... 

Cuzzing Lexie

I forgot I told her I would post this photo that she obviously posed for. 

 

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Will she need a dentist soon?

Emma now has 6 teeth!! 3 on top and 3 on the bottom. She has had four teeth for a little while but all of the sudden 2 more appeared. That has made her a little crabbier than normal however!

WE HAVE A STREET

For all of you who have listened to Tasha and I bitch and moan about not having a street in front of our house, well, yesterday they put one in! We have lived in our house for two years with gravel for a street. HURRRRAAAAYYYYYYY
