-Emma can army crawl like a champ. Once she gets up on her hands and knees she looks a bit confused, stutter steps, and then decides that her belly on the ground is a much better idea. She has been able to get to wherever she wants to go by rolling for a while now, but her ability to go in a straight line is opening up new avenues of exploration. I am not sure if anyone is ready for this newfound freedom.
-Trying new foods has become really fun. Emma is a great eater even when she does not really like what she is tasting. Favorite foods (currently) are sweet potatoes, avocados, butternut squash, pears, and peaches.
-Emma is completely enamored of the cat. This does not always go well, but at least the cat doesn't seem to completely hate the idea.
-Playing is becoming real now. She is able to manipulate objects a bit and is even able to put a ball back where it belongs. We do not often coax her into a certain way of playing, but when we do she works really hard to match our movements.
-One of the cutest things she has started to do is share her pacifier. She will take it out of her mouth and try to put it in ours. Sharing starts early.
-She is still tiny, but no one seems to really understand this until they see her in person. We are trying to figure out the best way to show this in pictorial form.
-Most of the time Emma is smiling, cuddling, or playing quietly with her toys. She is pretty low key.
*Here is the story of this month's sticker (also known as "why the sticker is on her back").
Good morning, it is that time again Miss Emma.
Hmm...
I am pretty sleepy
Well, perhaps this toy will occupy you a bit.
Nope, this is way more fun.
What can I say? I tried.
Photos are great! I'm so glad I got to Skype with the little bean on her 7 month birthday! I love her little laugh and how we can play peekabo on the computer! Glad she is getting some use out of the little ring toy I got her for xmas! (I used too many exclamations ... It's just so exciting! This comment gets a B for over punctution.)
