Emma's Summer Adventures

I have had a fun summer. I am growing and learning so many new things. At my 6 month checkup I weighed 14 lb 15.5 oz and was 25.5 inches long. I am now bigger than that and am getting smarter and stronger every day. I can now crawl really well and am even starting to pull myself up - almost to a standing position. I do like to stand and hold onto the table as long as Daddy or Mommy has their hand on my back. I love paper and cardboard boxes. I also like to try typing on the computer ... I've even tried typing with my toes. Mommy doesn't like it very much when I try to help her send emails.

This summer I had the opportunity to go camping for my first time. By the 2nd night I had adjusted to the outdoors and slept much better ... the 3rd night I was a pro (at least with the sleeping part of camping). I enjoyed our family reunion over the 4th of July weekend. The next week my newest cousin was born. Her name is Adi - we are nearly 6 months apart in age. In the middle of July I was a model on Studio 5. See the video clip on this blog. I'm so cute!

We went to the KSL summer party at Lagoon and I got to ride my first ride ... the giraffe on the carousel. I enjoyed it! Here are some pictures from my summer adventures.

Slobbery smile in my activity bouncer.

Happy to be with my mommy.
I've found that I like the taste of straps. Here I am in the bike carrier at the family reunion.

It was the 4th of July! I like to celebrate in style.

Pretty in Pink!

At Lagoon I got really HOT ... Daddy learned that I could drink water directly from Mommy's water bottle.

Here I am on my first amusement park ride. We are on the carousel and I am on the giraffe. Mommy had me strapped in really good. She could even let go and I couldn't move.

Posing ....

I'm wrestling with my dolly. When I was born this doll was huge! Now I am bigger than it.
