Emily doesn’t seem too sure of this wading stuff. What has Mommy gotten her into?

Well, it won’t be long until we have to chase after her when she makes a beeline for the water. 😉

Rachelle holds Emily’s feet into the water at Walden Pond.

And yes, it is the Walden Pond made famous by Henry David Thoreau’s experiment in simple living and subsequent book about his endeavor, Walden.

This photo is another one from our trip to Acadia National Park in August 2007.

We set Emily down on a blanket on the wonderful lawn behind the Jordan Pond House. She studied the grass and seemed to enjoy herself playing with it.

(7 months) Mommy and Emmy were spending some quality tummy time while Daddy was taking photos at Acadia. Emily was so good for her parents while we traveled this summer. She saw Acadia NP from the car seat, front pack, and the stroller. I think the front pack was her favorite. In the front pack we were able to take hikes and climb out on huge boulders on the seashore to look at the ocean.

(5 months) This is our first Independence Day!

(5 months) Here is a classic – SuperBaby! Emily loves to be lifted up to become SuperBaby. Her legs extend out behind her and her arms sometimes extend out in front. Uncle Kenny enjoyed playing this game as much as her Daddy does. Even without the superpowers she is a SuperBaby!
