An Emma Updatade

So I realized that I haven't given an update on Emma lately so I figured now would be a good time while she's taking a nap! :) We haven't been doing a whole lot lately but Emma sure has been changing. She found her voice a couple of weeks ago and can now make the loudest sounds I've ever heard. She doesn't get upset, but she likes to hear herself scream at the top of her lungs. It's actually kind of funny. She is also loving to stand up now. She, of course, can't balance herself yet so we have to hold her, but it's one of her favorite things to do. She loves to interact with you too - she's full of smiles and giggles and she just seems to be loving being alive!

About a week ago, some friends of mine were in town and so we went to go visit them in Banning. Emma was a little bit fussy but it was fun for her to meet a couple of other babies that were there. Both of the other babies were 8 months and Emma is only 3 so she didn't really play with them, but it was fun to take pictures!

Two days ago we took her in the hottub for the second time. She really seemed to enjoy it and she looked so cute! It was nighttime and so the light on the bottom was bright and she mostly just liked to look at the light and all the moving bubbles. It was really fun and something we definitely should try to do more often.

I'm not completely positive, but I also think she might be starting to teethe. Poor baby. She just has been drooling a lot and gnawing on my finger a lot too. Plus she hasn't been sleeping that well. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it too much, which is why I'm a little bit unsure, but time will tell. I guess her Daddy started teething around 3 months, but didn't actually get his first tooth in until 7 months - maybe she is taking after him! I will be sure to keep you posted.

Well, Emma just woke up from her nap, so I should end this. We are heading to Orange County on Thursday to spend Thanksgiving with Dave's parents so I am sure there will be more pics to come. Emma's first Thanksgiving - yeah!!
