April 8 with Pooh Bear
Easter
This is where she liked to sit for a few days. It was the previous location of the laptop computer.
Ok, so Emma is about 9 1/2 months old by the time I am writing this.
At her 9 month appointment with Dr. Greek on April 12 she weighed 21 lb. 7 oz and was 27 in. So that makes her about 80th percentile in weight and 30th in height.
Emma is now crawling. We weren't sure if she was going to skip crawling because she started walking along the furniture first. But now she does both. She lets go and stands for quite some time and looks at us proudly.
She finally started babbling. Emma says "dada" really well. I also hear "mom" "mama" especially when she is upset.
She absolutely loves cheerios and can pick them up and eat them quite well. Emmitt especially loves the ones she drops!
She has gotten 2 more teeth. The two upper front teeth. They are sharp! They have a gap in between them so I hope that changes a little as she gets more teeth. She will hold a cheerio and bite a piece of it off sometimes. I think she likes her new found ability.
She is enjoying books, especially "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". She is starting to grab a book and hand it to us to read to her. She will look at them alone too. Quite often she will wake up from a nap and start playing with her stuffed animals in her crib. I will open the door and she is sitting surrounded by them and she gives me a big smile.
She likes to pinch, pull hair, and bite.
Emma experienced her first Easter. Saturday we spent time with my family in town and Blake's parents came for that weekend also. We went out to eat a few times and Emma had her first cantaloupe/honeydew and shredded cheese. She does quite well in restaurants.
We took her to her first Twins baseball game at the new stadium, Target Field, this past weekend. We went to the Friday night game (April 16). She did well. She smiled, scrunched up her face, and waved at people around us. She was very friendly and distracting to those around us! :)
Emma "dances" to any music she hears. She is very aware of any music (commercials, organ at the game, radio in stores). She can't help but move.
