A big week for us...

I'm officially halfway through this pregnancy! This baby is very active and likes to kick and push Emma back when she is climbing on me and my stomach. Indication of what is to come? :) Anyway, I'm feeling great and have all sorts of energy right now so I am taking advantage of that and getting lots done. My goal for January is to get everything Emma-proofed (latches, gates, etc.) I can't believe we are only 4 1/2 months out!

Emma is 10 months old this week! She is growing and changing so much everyday. Her personality is becoming more and more apparent and she has us laughing all the time. A couple of milestones for her:
-She crawls now. She still has to be motivated to go somewhere, but when she crawls she is fast. She still would rather be on her feet than her hands and knees.
-She has four teeth- the bottom middle two and the two eyeteeth. The two middle teeth on the top are getting close.
-She is waving at everything and everyone. She is such a friendly little thing and it takes me forever to get through the grocery store because I always have a couple of people stop to talk to her and tell her how cute she is. She hams it up and give them her best "shy" smiles.
-Things in the hair department are a little difficult because she only leaves the headbands in if she doesn't realize they are there and she has been finding them all the time lately. But her hair is now long enough that I have to do something with it, so we have been experimenting with different things.
-She is pulling herself up on everything, and letting go for a several seconds to test the waters. She can walk along long objects, like couches and things pretty well. It is pretty cute to see such a tiny little person trying to walk around. We lowered her crib mattress to the lowest height out of necessity. She recently discovered her hippo toy that she can hold onto and push around and is really good at walking behind/next to it.

We love this little girl so much and her little grins and giggles just make my day!
