Happy Memorial Day!

We've been waiting on the warm weather to arrive and it went way overboard! This weekend was sweltering hot! I think it got up to around 95 degrees. Despite the heat, Emma got to go outside and play for the first time. She loves the grass! She just kept picking it and playing with it. Farmer Jerrod and Grandma got the garden mostly planted. It looks great! We're hopefully going to have yummy veggies in a couple of months. We finished up the weekend by having a picnic out by the garden on our new picnic table.

Kisses and Hugs

Emma is very good at giving kisses and hugs now. She makes a Hmmmm sound and kisses you on the cheek. It is very sweet. She even kisses her stuffed animals. Here's a picture of her kissing her big stuffed dog.

Emma's 10 months old!

Wow, this month went quick! Emma can stand up now for about 30 seconds (she's standing all by herself in this picture). She gets so excited and then falls on her bottom, if she didn't get so excited she could probably stand for longer. This month Emma aquired two more top teeth, so a total of 6 teeth and more coming in soon. She started eating lumpy food (stage 3). At first she thought the texture was weird and would make funny faces, but now she likes it. She got her first "black eye" (more red than black) She added another word to her vocabulary: book. More like buh, but we know what she means. She loves her books! Emma is at such a fun age!

Hello, who's there??

Grandma taught Emma how to talk on the telephone, now everything is a telephone. She picks up pretty much anything and says "Hello" (Really its Aeaaah) But she is especially partial to remote controls.

Emma and Grandma

Emma and Grandma Furlong, she absolutely loves her Grandma!

Happy Mother's Day!
