Now that we are all caught up, it seems anti-climatic to stay that way. This means there won't be any more seven blog blitzes to get caught up. If we did lots of exciting things on a daily basis maybe it could happen again, but I don't think that is likely. We don't do a lot of exciting things during the school year. So here we are, all caught up and blogging about what happened THIS weekend! So . . . let's begin.
Not much happened in the last week. Emily got up in the morning, went to daycare, came home, played, went to sleep (lather, rinse, repeat...). That was really the bulk of our week. On Thursday, Christa had curriculum night at her school and Emily & I went with her. I was there to help the librarian with the Book Fair, Christa was there because she has to be, and Emily was there to look cute. I think we all managed to do our respective jobs pretty well. The music teacher brought his baby, who is just a week or so younger than Emily and the two of them seemed to get along pretty well.
The real big day for Emily was Friday, as those of you in the know will realize, it was her 9 Month "Birthday"! Emily is now 3/4's of a year old!! It seems weird that she is already that old, time sure does fly. She is getting very big these days, she has three teeth now and what looks like two more on the way. She is starting to "cruise" just a little bit, she is still working on the mechanics of this . . . she is only able to take one or two steps along the couch before her feet get tangled up on themselves and gravity takes over. Her crawling has come a long way, she is pretty quick, especially if she realizes that you are behind her and she is on her way to something you don't want her to have. She is becoming more and more vocal, and laughs all the time. All in all, she is getting to be more fun everyday.
On Saturday, we took Emily to a bridal shower for our friend Jackie, and then to the mall to get her pictures taken. Getting these pictures is becoming more and more difficult, as she gets more and more mobile. I give lots of credit to the photographer for being quick on the shutter. As soon as you got Emily where you wanted her, she was off and on the go!! It is a miracle that we got any good shots. Thanks to Amy Z being good at what she does, we did get good shots--LOTS of good shots!
On Sunday, Emily & I hung out together watching football. Christa, Grandma Kathy & Auntie Mandy went to their cousin Chase's baptism. We decided that Emily & I should stay at home because Emily may still be contagious from the Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease and we didn't want to get the other kids sick. So, Emily & I watched football and played with her new house and all her other toys. We had a great time.
So there you have it. Things seem a lot more exciting when we wait a month to do this, don't ya think?
"Hey!! Check it out; I have a HUGE rubber ducky!"
"That big rubber ducky is fun, but it's hard to nibble on."
"Daddy, don't you even think about taking my duck while my back is turned..."
The reluctant flower . . . Emily did not let us get a picture of her in this sunflower hat. We got to see her in it, but then she was done!

Wow, it seems like she just turned 8 months! (Oh, that was because of the warp speed "catch up" blogging...)
Still enjoying reading about your family adventures. We don't see you signed up for any of the upcoming LB events. Hopefully you can make it to one or more so we can see you all "in person"!
