I can crawl!


As of Sunday night, Emma can crawl! She started crawling while we were staying over at the Holiday Inn in Grayling. She doesn't seem nearly as easily frustrated now as she used to be when she would lay on her tummy. Tonight I snapped these photos of her in the living room, crawling to get her dolly. She can occasionally even crawl over to something, like the coffee table, and then pull herself up to a standing position.

She's also started becoming more mobile in general... up until now, she wouldn't willingly roll over onto her back from her tummy, but now she has no problem doing it. In fact, quite often she will move from a crawling position to a sitting position as though she's known how to all along. It's amazing how fast she has grown these past 9 months.

Emma loves to swing!


This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Emma so far. She was SO happy to be on the swing set at the park in Presque Isle. For her, I think this was the highlight of the weekend!

Very first haircut


On the way to get her first haircut! 


You can really see how long her hair was getting in this photo. In a couple of places it was nearly to the middle of her back. She loves to ride in her stroller, by the way.  


Emma sits on a carousel horse for her first haircut at Carousel Cuts.  


She sits very still for the trim. There was a lot to see in the salon... including a Disney movie on TV! 


Emma's hairstylist has to work fast before Emma pitches a fit or decides to eat the carousel horse! She never fussed or cried at all the whole time. What a big girl! 


Emma, sitting in the grass at our house, just hours after we shelled out $25 for a 3-minute haircut! (Did you notice the very stylish belly-button ring t-shirt she is wearing?)

Emma, May 2005


Emma, May 2005. This picture was taken with my camera phone at the Boston Market restaurant near our house, during dinner. We had turkey, and she ate fruit puffs and dropped them all over the floor!
