Happy Girl

Just a few pictures of Emily from recent weeks. We haven't taken a lot of pictures recently. I guess we've been busy. Emily is doing good. She's a crawling machine right now and is less interested in trying to walk than she was before she figured out how to crawl. She knows that she can get things across the room and can crawl with a block in each hand if she needs to. One thing that we could tell was frustrating early on was that she couldn't move if she wanted to keep holding something, but she has figured that out now.

Emily loves to stand at our coffee table in our living room. The vantage point must be good from there. We bought a cheap set of rubber coasters for her to play with (our others are breakable, but she loved them). Emily loves to stand at the table and play with the coasters. If she's upset, she'll be happy when you stand her up there. If you take her away to do something else, she'll get upset. It's just a fun, fun place for a 1 year old. The second picture is of Emily in one of her favorite places to play.

The third picture was of Emily yesterday when she and I went out for a walk after work and school. It was such a beautiful day out. She couldn't figure out what the hat was on her head. She's used to pulling things off of her head when we play peek a boo or having a plastic block or cup balance on her head for a moment, but this wouldn't fall off and she couldn't yank it off too easily. She got used to it before too long. Hopefully she doesn't mind hats this summer when she really needs them to protect her from the sun.

The last picture is one of her new favorite sleep positions. It was dark in her room, but the flash made it look like daytime.
