Emma is NINE months old!!!!

I am sorry for posting so late. We haven't had home Internet in a few months. We cut it out as a plan to save money. We have just been getting on the Internet from our I-pod or phones. Now, we finally have Internet at home again (yay!!)

Emma is so much fun these days. She is talking like crazy! She is going to be a chatty one :) She can say ba-ba, ma-ma, da, ga, ca sounds. She has been saying mama for months, but I don't think she really knows what it means. She knows that if she says it, she'll get fed, put to bed, something :)

Emma doesn't really crawl like most babies. She gets from one side of the room to the other by scooting, pulling, rolling, etc. She crawls a few crawls then rolls, or scoots. She hasn't done the full crawling yet. She is trying to pull up on EVERYTHING. She can pull herself up to her knees, but not quite to her feet yet. If I stand her up she can stay up for a long time while holding on. She will hold on to her walker, but doesn't quite know how to move the legs yet. :)

We are slowly trying some real food with her. Tom and I are both very paranoid and scared of choking. (First time parents, I guess). We have given her yogurt, cheese shredded, and sweet potato so far. We'll keep trying.

She is finally getting over her RSV, but still has a cough. She is back to sleeping in her crib. When she was sick, she had to sleep upright in her bouncy chair and it was hard transitioning back. She hasn't slept through the night since being sick. We are hoping that starts back again. :)

She still doesn't have any teeth yet, but we think one is coming soon (but I've been saying that for months).

She is laughing, talking, and so playful. We have so much fun spending time with her :)
