June 27th, 2007

Hi everyone,
I am blogging from work today as Rob has the computer with him on his trip. So just a note, but video and pictures will follow later on... soon.
So Emma is still not sitting up by herself, nor is she crawling, BUT she can pull herself to a standing position when holding your hands. She gets very excited and proud of herself when she does this too. She squeals with delight.
Yesterday she and I were outfront watering the bushes and flowers that we planted. She pulled herself up and started walking her feet in front of herself. This is a new milestone for her. (eventhough the poor thing has absolutely no balance). I was still very proud of her as only a "new" mommy would be. (she was also very proud of herself). So that is her new thing. Walking while holding your hands. Before I know it she will be running out the front door with Casper. As soon as I am able to juggle the camera and her hands I will get the pictures and video of her new feat.

The 4th is coming and we are expecting Nana & Papa to come down with my neices Nora and Jessica. Can't wait to see them. I'm sure we will have tons of pictures to post after their visit. We are planning a trip to the Alligator ranch and will be having a pool party on the 4th. So stay tuned for more to come....

June 19th, 2007

It's Tuesday and Emma is on her second day back in day care. Unfortunately the girl we hired for home care wasn't able to handle our little one and her little one together. So after searching for someone else, which was not successful we decided to put her back into day care. We are hoping her immune system is stronger and she will not get sick anymore. We will see.

We went camping for the first time over Memorial Day Weekend up by Nana and Papa's. Then Emma and I had to go to Chicago for the following weekend for a funeral. She finally got to meet her Uncle Jimmy, and her mommy's best friend - Auntie Andrea. We also got to meet my Uncle Danny and Aunt Joann. It has been a good 20years almost since I had seen them last. Emma got to meet her second cousins Michael and John. She really liked John. He made her laugh everytime he talked to her.
Although we went up for other than desirable circumstances we got to see family and friends. Another trip in the cooler weather would be great. I will see what I can do everyone. But we still have to get up to Vermont sometime soon while Emma is still considered a baby. Rob's family hasn't had a chance to meet her yet, but then no one has come down yet either.. HINT HINT!!!

Since we have been home and back to a somewhat normal schedule we have been swimming at the neighbors pool, going for walks and playing at home.
Rob and I even got to go out last weekend and had a babysitter for the night. Haven't done that in months. It was a good night too.

Father's day we went to a cook out at Petey and Galen's house. Went swimming. Emma is going to be our olympic swimmer. She absolutely loves the pool. I think she is going to learn to swim before she learns to crawl.

I hope this find that everyone out there is doing great. Don't be strangers.

Pool time ~ Play time - June 10th, 2007

My first time in the pool. I loved it. I had a smile from ear to ear the entire time.

Daddy was showing me how to kick and paddle my arms. I think I almost have it.

Mommy and me!!!

Petey loved getting in to the pool with me. He's my swimming buddy. Always have a swim buddy!!!!

See.... I can sit all by myself on the flower, (well almost anyway). Although mommy almost had a heart attack when Daddy moved his arm away and I fell backwards and almost fell into the water. YIKES!! She was scared.. but not me!!
