Eight Months Old!

Okay, so I know I have totally been slacking with my updates lately. I blame it partly to my new addiction to Farm Town. But, the wait is over and here are some new updates on our girl - you won't be disappointed!

So April 8, was Emma's 8 month birthday and to celebrate we took her to Disneyland! Okay, we did go to Disneyland but not for her birthday. My parents were in town and wanted to go and it just happened that we went on Emma's 8 month birthday. Dave & I would never have thought to take her at such a young age just for her, but since we were all going it was soooo fun to see Disneyland through her eyes! Of course she is too young to appreciate the true magic of Disneyland, but she had a really good time and so did we. Our tickets allow us to go back within 30 days and so we are really looking forward to our next trip

Here she is on It's A Small World which was probably her favorite ride. She absolutely loved it and even though Dave & I despise the ride we will definitely go back again just for her!

A cute picture with Daddy:

We were finally able to go on the new Finding Nemo ride which is really the old submarine ride with a few changes. She really liked that too! The pictures are a little bit fuzzy because of course we weren't allowed to use flash photography on the ride.

And of course we had to get her Micky Ears:

And here she settling in to sleep listening to her favorite CD with her new Disney Princess CD Player! She was really cute!

She was such a good girl the whole day long and although I'm sure she's forgotten all about it by now, she really seemed to have a good time and thorougly enjoyed herself!

She still hasn't been to the Dr. since her 6 month checkup - she goes in at 9 months so I weighed her and measured her at home again. She is still approximately 16 pounds according to our scale and she's now 26 1/4 inches. She is definitely getting bigger. She's not crawling yet, but we are expecting it any day now. She can lift her bottom into the air and rock back and forth. This morning she even crawled/scooted backwards - it was so funny!! :)

Well, she is up from her nap now which is much earlier than I anticipated so I don't have time to make another post right now. I will do my best to get caught up by the end of the day though so keep checking back in for more fun with Emma! :)
