Emma's Crawling!

Lock the doors, Emma's crawling. What a weekend this has been. Emma started crawling, and seems to want to get into everything. Some of her favorites include the electrical cords and the cats! Poor Hannah and Fife have been running for their lives this weekend. At least it provides them with a little exercise.








Interestingly, she has become seemingly bored with crawling, and has expressed an interest in standing and climbing. This, of course, has necessitated the full time use of a "helmet" around the house, as the little beanstalk has been taking some large spills since experimenting with the standing.

7 days till the Superbowl. Go Bears!

Holiday Joy

Well the holidays came and went with unusual speed.
We spent the holidays in Pittsburgh.
Emma's first Christmas.
Here are some photos.


She seemed to be more interested in the wrapping paper, though.



When all was said and done, Emma seemed to like the Elmo gifts quite a bit. She received a full compliment of Elmo dolls and books.












New Year's was also spent with friends in the 'Burgh. All the usual suspects were in attendance, including a special guest appearance by the "Aussies."

Back at home, little girl has really picked up use of the utensils. Check out the mastery of the sippy cup.



Emma's new word seems to be "ba." She is also on the fast track to learning how to crawl. She has been mastering the scoot. Just a matter of time...

On the sports front, Michigan was an embarrassment in the Rose Bowl, BUT all is not lost...the Bears are off to the Divisional Championship. Yes.

Happy New Year!
