Emma's First Trip to Seattle

So last Friday was my Dad's 50th Birthday and Dave, Emma & I all got to fly up to Seattle to suprise him! Emma and I have been planning on going since before she was born, but the day before we left we were able to get Dave a ticket too. It was so much fun! Emma got to experience a whole bunch of new things, including a plane ride. She also got to meet her two great-grandparents! We had a very fun time and my Dad was so suprised.

Emma has grown up so much in the past weeks as well. She actually had her first laugh while we were in Seattle (other than the times that she laughs while sleeping). They are still little half laughs, and not a full on giggle, but it is so cute! She is growing so much and talking a lot more now too! We've also noticed her trying to sit up on her own and can tell that there are times where she wants to be able to crawl - she is growing up too fast!

So here are some pictures from her trip:

Here she is on the way to the airport and a picture of her first plane ride. She was an awesome baby on the plane, by the way. She fussed a couple of times but for the most part she was either awake and looking around or sleeping.

And here is Emma with her Grandpa - celebrating his birthday:

While we were up there we got to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. It was not too cold, but it was cool, and sunny! It was perfect. It allowed us to do quite a few outdoor things, including going to a pumpkin patch and a corn maze. So here she is enjoying that:

We're home now and Emma has been sleeping a lot. Going to Seattle was quite an adventure for her and she was a Super Duper Trooper, but now she must catch up on some sleep! We look forward to going to Seattle again for Christmas.
