Bath time at the cabin

We decided to give Emma a bath in the wash basin at the cabin. It's the same bathtub that I apparently took baths in as well as both Aunt Karen and Aunt Vicki. Emma loved it. She got to pound on the side of it with a tin cup, and splash around and have a great time.

Traverse City, June 2004

On a hot summer afternoon, we went to the beach to play in the water of Traverse Bay. Emma loved it! She splashed and crawled in the sand, and seemed to really enjoy the water even though it was a bit chilly. The sun was out and the temperature in Traverse City hit a record high of 94, so we didn't spend much time out in the hot sun, but Emma still had lots of fun!

Father's Day at Grandma and Grandpa's House

Today we spent the afternoon at Grandma M and Grandpa M's house for a Father's Day lunch. Emma gnawed on a teething bagel outside on the deck, then after lunch zoomed around the living room with Uncle Aaron on a Mickey Mouse 'big wheel' bike. Emma can't quite ride the big wheel by herself, but she can now crawl very quickly, and can even pull herself up and cruise around furniture. She seems to have a pretty good sense of balance, although this afternoon Grandma S came over and Emma fell while standing next to an end table and bruised her cheek.

At the doctor's office, June 14

Emma went to the doctor for her nine-month checkup today. She is still in the 90th percentile as far as head size, but is in a much smaller percentile as far as weight and body length. Everything checked out just fine!
