9 months old!

Yes, our Emma is 9 mos old today! She continues to blossom into a sweet little girl and bless our family each and every day. She may look like John, but I think she's inheriting my personality (an even trade I think!). She loves to laugh and smile! Emma has a few tricks up her sleeve these days -she loves playing peek-a-boo, performing "how big is Emma" and she even dances when music comes on !

We went to the doctor for her 9 mos checkup and here are her stats: 24lbs (97%) and 28.5 inches (75%). She just laid there with her feet crossed while the doc examined her - quite a site!

Yesterday we had a few visitors! The LePage's, Great Grandma Crider, and G&G Weatherwax and Grandma Zinser! We had a great visit! We always get asked "where did she get that red hair?" Can you see the resemblance in the picture with Aunt Anna?

GG and Grandma Z took advantage of Emma's cat naps!

Bad Hair Day!

Emma's hair has taken on a world of its own! She has this adorable "fluffy" strawberry blond hair! Her hair has earned her the recent nicknames of troll, Woodstock, and "Woody" woodpecker. Can you see the resemblance? Too cute! We had to take pics this morning when she woke up! HA!

On the move...

Yes, for the past month or so, Emma has been making her way around the house. She has a unique way of moving...on her behind! It's a riot to see - the video doesn't do it justice! She can get from point A to point B very quickly if she wants too! She'll have buns of steel before she's walking!

Emma also had her first tooth pop through last week. Cold teething rings and tylenol helped out!

Atlantic Beach, NC

We had fantastic week in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina for our Zinser family vacation! Emma loved her first trip to the beach and loved playing in the pool with her cousins James and Hailey. She played in the sand and never once put sand in her mouth - which I swore she would do. John played a couple rounds of golf, while the rest of us relaxed. Grandma and Grandpa had a blast with the kids, and Kim and Jim celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary on the trip.

Update (delayed)...Emma had her tubes placed June 18th and did great! She was back to herself by that afternoon!

Daddy's Little Girl!

Emma (with help from her school teachers) made John a Father's Day hat that was too cute! What a proud father! We were blessed to be able to celebrate the weekend with both of our fathers. Today we lounged in the back yard poolside, while Daddy and Grandpa W golfed. Emma loves the water!

A weekend of Firsts!

Emma's first swing in the neighborhood park!We also headed to the pool - for Emma's first swim. She liked to kick and splash water with her hands! She looked so cute with her new suit!

John, being the electronic guru, purchased a new "professional" camera. I have to admit, it takes pretty nice pictures. This is one of my favorite pics so far! Maybe he'll have the art of photography mastered by her wedding day! Who knows what a photographer will cost at that time?? ha ha!

More Pictures!

Here are Emma's 6 month pictures! Have a great day!
