Happy Thanksgiving!


Here's Emily for her Fall/Thanksgiving photo shoot. What a happy little Pilgrim she is :)


Here Emily inspects the "decoration"... Mmmm, looks tasty
It was a struggle to keep her from eating the foliage...


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The Adams' celebrated by spending the day in Macon with Grandpa Dale and Diane and others. Friday we visited with Grandma Ann for the day after Thanksgiving. We are all officially "stuffed" now from all of the holiday festivities.

Eric's little helper....


Eric decides to put Emily to work on creating tests and quizzes for his classes. She was a little unsure in the beginning....

Ok, I think she's starting to get this computer thing down now...

Here's the final product. Emily is all trained and ready to go, she'll be creating quizzes and tests in no time! Well, assuming she can learn Latin within the next couple of days... Hmmm, I wonder what the child labor laws are in Georgia?

Another comparison...

Here's Emily laying on Eric when she was less than a month old...

And here is the reenactment of the same photo 5 months later...

One of them has grown significantly!

Pumpkin Painting Fun!

Allie (the lady that keeps Emily) had pumpkin painting day a few weeks ago for the children. They each got a mini pumpkin and paint with which to decorate their pumpkins. Below is the evolution of the pumpkin painting experience.
I am proudly displaying the finished product on my desk at work. It's seasonally festive, and my first craft project from Emily. :)
On a side note, no the daycare is not a nudist or clothing optional establishment. Babies clean up easily - clothes, not so much...

Inspecting her "canvas"...

Using her Picasso-like skills to decorate her pumpkin...


Painting aftermath - good thing her mouth was plugged!

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 :)
