Messy Eater

Emme is definitely a hands on eater now and wants to feed herself. Here are a few pics of her attempts to get the food into her mouth. She sure is having fun trying!

Here she was eating bananas and black beans (I got this from frozen baby section of Whole Foods). She didn't really like it, but John and I tasted it and loved it! You could dip a chip in it, yummy!

This is a classic John face!

Crawling

Emme has been up and crawling on her hands and knees now for about 3 weeks. At first she only wanted to crawl on soft surfaces, but will now go anywhere. And I mean anywhere! She has discovered dog bowls, toilets, and corners with dust bunnies! Let the games begin. We are loving it!

Sorry if the video takes too long to upload, but I am not really a pro on clipping with this Flip video software and don't want to learn. Plus, what part of my cute baby do I want to cut out? None!

P.S. Our apartment kind of looks like a garage sale right now so I apologize! Our fridge that we have only had for a year broke down so we are trying to sell it for next to nothing on Craig's List. It will cost more to fix than we paid for it. And we have tubs to go to storage, which would require us getting a babysitter to do. When we get a babysitter, going to storage just doesn't sound like fun!

Storytime

I think most kids get bedtime stories, but Emme loves to read books when she wakes up! Occasionally John has a break in his day and is home when she wakes up from a nap. I let him do the honors this time of reading books. So cute!

Belated Crawling Post

Okay, so I mentioned quite some time ago that I would upload a video of Emme crawling. 3 weeks later and here it is! I will say that since this video was taken; Emme has become more skilled. She is now getting up on her knees and rocking, but once there is not quite sure what to do so she gets back down on her belly and continues to army crawl.
