The Past 6 months

Well, I really could go on forever about the last 6 months, all the changes Emma has gone through, all the amazing moments we have had-the laughs, joys, the "firsts", some frustrations-but overall motherhood is the richest blessing on earth. Emma will be 7 months on Sunday and a good friend asked what she is doing now, and I realized that although pictures are fun to see of her, they don't tell the whole story, and unless I sit down to write, all the memories tend to blurr. So, I will pick up where we left off...wow, day 25!--fill in some of the blanks, and help you "see" Emma! Maybe the easiest is to start with this week. So our lives are crazy right now. We listed our house 3 weeks ago Tuesday, and have an accepted offer, so this week has been consumed with that and house hunting. Showings, house hunting, etc has started to throw Emma a bit off schedule--so she caught up today by taking an almost 3 hr nap!! We've had playdates, a trip to the capital, plenty of walks, and some nice memories at home. On Wednesday, I was feeding her lunch, and she just started cracking up, which of course, made me laugh(she is like her daddy this way) and then she started laughing again because I was laughing, and this went on a good couple of minutes-it was bliss! Today she had another funny moment--I was burping her, and she grabbed my face, which is a daily occurance, and then proceeded to burp in my ear and laugh, it was hilarious! She is getting to the point now where she really loves to be on the ground playing. When you hold her she tries to "get down" by pushing agaist you with her arms and legs, and arches her back. Then gets all excited when she sees her toys! Her 2 favorite books are Goodnite Moon and Olivia.

I will update this once a week--as to not bombard-but rather collect the memories then share more at once! Until next week.
