Emma 9-10 months

In August we drove to Lincoln for 10 days.  We were a little nervous about the long drive with Emma, but she did great, even with all the accidents & delays on the drive there, making it an extra long day!  She stayed entertained with books, toys, songs, naps, food & staring out the window & rolling around in the grass at rest stops.  We loved being in Lincoln & getting to help celebrate grandma Hiatt's 90th birthday & dad's retirement.  Emma loved being around all the family & especially her cousins.  She got to visit the zoo for the first time, I think her favorite part was watching the camels eat.  This month, Emma got her top two lateral incisors in & she is acting as if her molars are now on their way.  She loves to read books and turn the pages.  She loves to wind up her arm and throw balls and then wait for Andrew and I to fetch them so she can throw them again!  She rolls all over the living room to get where she wants to go- watch out kitties- she likes to try and pet them or grab for their tails.  She likes trying new foods and helps feed herself with the spoon.

Emma 8-9 months

In July grandma came to visit for 2 weeks so Emma enjoyed all the time she got to spend with her.  We went for walks together, went shopping and went to a concert in the park where Emma enjoyed swaying her head along to the music.  Emma clapped for the first time this month, & got to sit up in the shopping cart.  She loves looking at herself in the mirror, watching videos of herself, standing in her bouncer, making "gaaa" sounds and trying new foods.
