Sitting Up

Emily is learning to sit up on her own now. She just started developing this new skill over the past week. She can sit by herself for a few minutes at a time, until she either starts to slump to one side or gets excited and jerks backwards. She hasn't learned yet that gravity is not her friend. Also, I don't think she realizes that holding onto her own pants is not going to keep her from tumbling... :)

Still sitting.....

Uh-oh, once again she's hit the deck!

Emily gets freedom to stand all on her own (sort of)...

Emily tried out her jumper for the first time this weekend. She really enjoyed being able to swing herself around.

Here she is really studying all of the gizmos...

Showing off her skills.

BIG Smile!

My friend Mary took this picture last week and I just had to post it because it is about the biggest smile we've seen yet. She's obviously very excited about something :)

Halloween 2009

Can you guess who Emily is for Halloween?

She''s so excited!

Snoozing with her bud "Snoopy".

At the Vaughns's to become really angry at UGA (the FL game).

Family photo in costume.

Happy Halloween!

Here's Emily all decked out in her Halloween gear and playing in the hay at the Vaughn's Farm. Mom and Emily covered in hay after the photo shoot.

Later in the day we went on a hayride at our friend's church. Emily enjoyed the riding around in the open air.

Lil' pumpkin head.

Happy Halloween from the Adams Family!!

Reading the paper...

Emily joined Eric in reading the weekend paper. So far so good.... Emily has taken an intrest in the paper, it seems..... but is it in the news?Newspaper aftermath - when reading goes wrong...

Breakfast with Liam

We went to breakfast this past Saturday with some friends, and Emily had a great time chatting with her friend Liam. It looks like he is demonstrating how to use a spoon. Maybe after this tutorial she'll be up for giving the rice cereal another try....
