Look who's sitting up!

What a big girl! 

Emma loves to play with her bird bath toy.

She likes to make the birds sing and the bee buzz.

Emma and Sadie

Wow! Emma was impressed that Sadie could sit up all 

by herself. Later that evening, Emma demonstrated

that she could too! 

Hello friend!

Emma enjoyed "playing" with her friend Sadie.

Sadie is two months older than Emma, in case the 

hair didn't give it away! 

Emma was very interested in watching Sadie crawl around. 

Now that Emma is sitting up by herself, it won't

be long before she's crawling around too!

Pumpkin Patch

Emma enjoyed checking out all of the pumpkins!

Our little Pumpkin with Raggedy Ann;

Too cute!

We took Emma to the pumpkin patch this week

so we could pick out a pumpkin for our pumpkin carving party.

We managed to get a few cute pictures, even though Emma was

getting sleepy and the sun was going down.

Tiny Shoes

What are these?

Emma wore shoes for the first time today.

She was very interested in looking at them and touching them.

They were very soft, more like slippers than shoes.

She apparently got tired of wearing them because

when we picked her up from the nursery at church they were in her bag!

I have to agree, it's much more comfortable to go around barefooted!

Pears Please!

Emma had her first taste of baby food this past week.

The doctor suggested we start with fruit: pears or apples.

We chose pears.

As you can see, Emma enjoyed them!

She gets so excited when she sees her spoon.

Unfortunately, rice cereal didn't agree with her tummy, but 

so far the pears have seemed fine.

Sneak Peak

We played around and took some pictures

of Emma in her Halloween costume today.

Our little Halloween Kitty

So sweet...

Hmm... What is this?

Emma was very curious about the feather boa.

Playing around...

She looks so big!

Happy Fall Y'all!

We have really been enjoying this nice fall weather!

After we got home from church today, Emma was in

such a happy mood and looked so cute we

took the opportunity to take some fall photos.

She is just precious in her farm smocked dress.

The back has pigs and goats too!

She was excited to see herself in the mirror;

I think she likes to dress up! 

Go Jacks!

This weekend was Mommy's 10 year class reunion.

Emma's KK made her a cheerleader outfit to wear to the festivities.

She was too cute!

Emma stopped by to see her Nana at her classroom

in the new high school. Her students oohed and ahhed over Emma!

We've got spirit yes we do!

Daddy and Emma were all smiles after 

the pep rally in the new high school gym.

Emma was so good.

Even with all of the loud cheering and music, she

was a happy camper. She actually tool a nap in the middle of it all!

Fun with expressions!

5 Months Old

Emma tried rice cereal for the first time just after

her 5 month birthday. She was very interested in

looking at the spoon and trying to hold it.

At first she just blew on the spoon, then she

got the hang of it. I think we were pretty successful

since we got more in her mouth than on the bib!

Now that Emma is 5 months old, she's able to

sit in her exersaucer without sinking down!

She really enjoys the lights and music.

Emma LOVES her feet!

She pulls them up to her mouth now and 

sucks on them with and without socks!

It is so funny to watch her new tricks!
