Knock on Wood

Well...it seems that Boo has...dare I say...found a nap routine!!! Even if she only takes one nap it's usually after she eats lunch. YEAH! She loves to scoot around now, she moves so fast. Even while sleeping, she moves all over the place, its so cute. She usually rolls until she finds me, cuddles us next to me then stays put. There are no words, its so precious. I cannot imagine having missed all those moments if we hadn't decided to co-sleep. Besides bf it's the best bonding tool by far. The bottom picture is a rare one:Emma smiling in her car seat. I'll have to post a pic of her in her new car seat. We still use her old car seat when we go on stroller rides though. We'll use it until she out grows it-which will be very soon! Her 18 mo. clothes just fit she'll be in 24 mo/ 2T soon!! AGR!! Where did my tiny baby go?

Hilarious! I just had to share!

Bye bye

So, Matthew is going on his wild boar hunting trip this week. He's leaving early Wednesday morning and returning late Friday night. So he won't see baby awake again until Saturday! Hopefully, we don't go crazy by ourselves!! But, I did have a few things planned for us to do but, I looked at the weather and it's supposed to snow Thursday, Friday and Saturday! :( Well, at least Wednesday is going to be nice enough (60s!) to go out and about. Oh, also Emma is getting very good at scooting! This is usually the prelude to crawling....so we'll see....
Emma has also been "singing" a lot lately! Well, I call it singing. It's like her "talking" just really, REALLY and I mean REALLY HIGH PITCHED! It's pretty funny, I've been trying to get a video of it. But, for now this is Emma on 2-24-09, her first time trying sweet peas.

Last Few Weeks Recap

Okay, we've been really busy so now it's time to get back to bloggin! Emma still has no teeth and hasn't said any recognizable words yet. Emma got a booster seat from Toys "R" Us, so now she has her very own chair to eat in! What a big girl! And it has a toy tray that attaches onto the eating tray. So, she can play when she's done eating that way Matthew and I can have our dinner too. We also got a new car Honda Civic, as you may or may not know our wonderful Honda Accord was totalled by a genius who ran a red light and nearly killed Matthew. The Civic isn't as nice as the Accord but, at the end of this lease we'll probably go back to an Accord. We couldn't get an Accord again because they're way more expensive than they we're 2 years ago when when leased the black one. It's confusing I know. But, anyway we have a new car so hopefully this one will make it to the end of its leasing term.
Now, onto Boo...she's getting more mobile. Although she doesn't crawl yet, she scoots on her tummy pretty well, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Why, just last night she was on her tummy playing with Matthew and she pushed herself up onto her bottom. She went from tummy to sitting up as if it was nothing!! Like I said, it's only a matter of time!
Also Boo is eating her oatmeal very well, she can't seem to get enough of it! We're going to be trying rice cereal next, I'm sure she can't wait!

Do They Make a Dolphin Call?

Well, Emma has been going thru her grunting stage and now she's onto bigger and better things like...well...it kind of sounds like a Flipper. Ehhhh! Ekkkkk! Something like that :) It at least sounds happier than the grunting. The grunting sounded angry and frustrated sometimes, even when she was happy. But, none the less...Emma is such a cuddle bug! I love it! She always wants to cuddle with you or give/receive hugs. For example she could be n the middle of playing and she'll turn to me and hug me then rub her face and me, smile and go back to playing. It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Back onto the topic of making noise, no she still hasn't said any words yet :(
We got Emma a toy penguin and she is scared to death of it. This picture is of that terrifying penguin, doesn't he look dreadful?
Anyhow, I'm going to post a video to go along with post. Enjoy!
