Halloween 2007

A friend of ours taught Emily to raise her hands when she hears the phrase, "So big." Now, she does it spontaneously, but raises only one hand up in the air.

Halloween 2007

Emily celebrated her first Halloween as a Pea Pod. Her mommy and I went as a mommy and a daddy. 🙂

Emily is 9 months old and it’s another trip to the pediatrician. At this visit she weighed in at 17 lbs 7 oz. and 28 inches long. This is just over 3 lbs heavier and 2 1/2 inches longer in three months. Emily doesn’t like her checkups much, but she puts up with it without much fuss. We were not planning on having any shots this checkup, but we added the flu shot to the visit. We will go back for another check up at 1 year.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, October 2007

We headed up to the mountains to enjoy the change in weather (finally!). Emily didn’t want to look at the camera. She seemed to be distracted by all the other people that were around us.

This was taken at Newfound Gap. Later, we hiked to the top of Clingmans Dome.

(8 months) Emily was helping Mommy sort clean socks. The laundry basket is just the right size for play. I’m not sure that Mommy was very efficient with Emily’s help. She is sure cute!

(8 months) Rubber Duckies are fun in and out of the water. This little one is just the right size for Emily’s hands and mouth.
