Emily's First Thanksgiving

Here are a bunch of pictures of Emily's first Thanksgiving. Aunt Christi, Uncle Dan, Grandma, and Grandpa were all out visiting. Emily enjoyed having all of the visitors. She turned 9 months on Thanksgiving and we have her check up with the pediatrician this Thursday. Emily tried some turkey and had some sweet potatoes and regular potatoes right from the table. She doesn't do great with chewing pieces of food that aren't really mushy like cooked apples or potatoes, but she loves tasting everything. She is starting to get very interested in everything that everyone else has and this includes food, the phone, and the computer. We're working with her on trying to crawl, but no dice, yet. She kicks her feet around and reaches with her arm, but doesn't get into the crawling position. All of the work trying to get to stuff makes her spin. She rotated herself around close to 180 degrees before she had had enough. She loves to stand and lean against her toys. She's amazing stable.

Enjoy her pictures, they were all taken this past weekend. Her cheek is very red. We're putting cream on it and will ask her doctor about it on Thursday.
