Emma has been very busy these past few days. On Friday, we went to the mall to meet up with one of our play groups. Emma had a great time interacting with all of her friends. That evening Emma started to demonstrate the position for crawling. I think she is getting very close. I guess I better start baby proofing the house.

On Saturday, we went to cheer on Andy at his first soccer game. The Pirates did fantastic. There is alot of talent on that team. Watch out David Beckham.

9 Month Check Up

Today Emma had her 9 month check up. The doctor said she was looking great. She still is small for her age but her weight for height is normal. Now we were told to cut back on the amount of solids we are giving her. That was hard to believe for me but I understand that the doctor wants her to take more fluids. Emma did get shots today and I was not prepared for them. Emma is a warrior and only cried when she was poked.

After our doctor's appt. we has another playdate and once again we had a blast. Emma was worn out from all the fun. Thanks to everyone that came.

Our Minnesota Trip

Emma with the girls. We had party with our cousins and they were excited to meet Emma for the first time.


One day we went apple picking at the orchard. The apples were delicious and Emma's favorite part was listening to fiddle player.


We went to Como Zoo and I am not sure who had a better time, Emma or Andy. Emma's favorite exhibit was the monkeys.

Well we just got back from Minnesota and had a wonderful time visiting family. The weather was perfect and I wish I could have brought it back with me. The leaves are starting to change color and it really felt like fall. We wish we could have stayed longer. Emma met many relatives for the first time. It was a blast!

Go Vikings!

Emma is sporting her Vikings outfit that she got from her godparents. Kristen was not to sure about this since she is a Cowboys fan. The Vikings did lose though to the Packers. Maybe next time Vikings. Go Cowboys!

Conversation

Emma is enjoying hanging out with her grandpa Steve. She is sharing all of her stories.

Circle of Friends

Emma is enjoying hanging out with her pals at a playdate. Kristen enjoys it as well. We love our playgroup.

Put me in coach!

Andy is on his way to his first day of practice. He is a soccer coach for a local team of 4 year olds. Too cute!
