Baby on the Move!

Well, we are coming up on milestones a little faster than I am ready for. Just this past week Emerson learned how to get into a sitting position by herself. Shawn and I were wanting to peek in at her sleeping one morning. We opened her door as quietly as we could and were ready to tip toe in to see but as soon as we opened the door we saw the little princess sitting up in her bed waiting for us. This new talent progressed through the week and she started trying to pull on the bumper to get up even higher so our first project today was to lower her mattress. The other milestone that is just a little too much is that she is CRAWLING!!!!! She is still not real quick about it and not completely coordinated but she is getting better by the minute today. She will more than likely be all over the place by the end of the week. This brought about our next project for the day-attaching our bookshelves to the wall and putting latches on cabinet doors. Is this really all happening?! It was a fun weekend. My mom and Patsy came down to help out after the exhausting week we had. Patsy stocked the fridge with food while my mom played hard with Em giving Mom and Dad a much needed nap and a chance to sleep in this morning. It was GREAT. Also, I was able to go with Shawn last night to "Meet the Bears" to officially kick off a new football season!

I thought it was hilarious when she got herself in this position, she wasn't exactly sure how to get out of it.

This doesn't even look like the same baby to me anymore! She is changing every day.

Mom, enough with the pictures, I am trying to play my music!

She kept herself occupied with her basket of toys while we babyproofed!
