On the move!

I finally am sitting down at work and going to update our blog some. We have been really busy as usual but enjoying every minute as it comes...but that doesn't mean I can't hardly wait for summer to come and I get to be a MOM full time!! I am completely EXCITED!! Em's has been growing so much and has been keeping us on our toes! It was amazing how fast she went from sitting to now crawling!

She has taken a new love to pickles and sucks and gums them while she eats! She takes it out long enough to take a bite of her food and back in it goes....she acts like it is her binki! As you can tell in the picture it is flat on the end, that's from her gumming it!!


We went to Salt Lake to Andrew's grandpa's graveside service and it was such a beautiful day and enjoyable time to celebrate his grandpa's life as well as meet many new people. I got to see Andrew's Uncle Pat who I had only met once and his Uncle Mike who I had never met ( Andrew's Dads brothers). They were so fun and Emma loved them ;) They were hillarious, I was constantly laughing...when you get all those Walton men together it is pretty funny ;) At the graveside I sat Emma down to take some pictures, wondering how she would like the grass..well she didn't mind at all she liked pulling it and in this pic she decided to try some...




This is her playing with everything on her changing table. She loves to pull things off and explore what she can find on the shelf. She even tries to climb up on it...hasn't been successful yet but I am sure she will soon!


My mom and dad came down and visited us a couple of weekends ago and we had a lot of fun with them here! Emma adored all the attention and loved hanging out with them and wearing Grandpa's hat ;) Thanks for coming we loved having you guys!


She is so fun and loves to play with a toy for a second and then on to another. She can be sitting in the middle of the room with lots of toys around her and she battles her way through them to go to the TV stand! It is her favorite thing in the living room! The first day she really found out she could crawl she went straight to it and loves it! She puts her tiny fingers in the VHS slot and pushes buttons...it's fun to watch how amazed she is with it! However I realized we never use our VHS and I could see little finger marks in the dust in it...yuck! She also love to unplug it so we have had to put her little rocking chair in front of the outlet so she isn't constantly by it trying to unplug it ;)



This was the day after she took her first few crawls and now she goes everywhere, it is so much fun! She loves being able to go on her own, considering she gets to explore new places...some have been in her corner with all her toys, in the back room, kitchen, under the table, stairs...just about everywhere she is now checking out! I love it!! I love her face in this video...so determined! At the very end you can see her tongue sticking out...she does this ALL the time, she just loves having it out!
