There have been many times in the last few months when I thought Emma might want to crawl. However she hated being on her belly and loved to stand up, so I gave up on the idea of crawling and thought that she might just go right to cruising around and then eventually walking. Well Emma does still love to stand and cruise around, but today she decided that she would like to crawl. Luckily the video camera was close by and I was able to capture this milestone! Granted it's not the smoothest crawling motion but she has the idea. And considering that she is quite the determined little girl, with additional practice I am sure she will be moving all over the house soon! What is funny to me is that she decided it was worth crawling to a tag! I could have sworn she would have crawled to get to Gabby - who would think that she wanted to eat a tag!
I posted a bunch of videos on her YouTube page. Here's one of them!

Can't Get Enough
Emma was in such a good mood today so we wanted to take some pictures of her in her cute lemon outfit and her Flyin Hawaiian T-Shirt!

Emma First Fourth
We forgot to bring our camera this past fourth of July weekend. Luckily Auntie Liz had her camera. Here are some pictures from the weekend!
Emma Claire at 8 months old
Hard to believe it but today Emma turned 8 months old. She has changed a lot recently. Her bottom teeth are clearly in as you can see in one of the pictures below. Her top teeth are still coming in, with the left one much further down. I am sure it won't be long until she shows them off in pictures too!
Emma continues to roll around - enjoying her freedom to get to where she'd like to be. She now can sit herself up from her being on her belly. She also can pull herself up and then cruise around a little. She is still working on her balance and being steady. Emma really loves to stand and try to walk around, she especially when she is trying to get to Gabby. Emma truly loves Gabby - she looks for her all the time and loves petting her.
She is very good at feeding herself and we continue to give her new foods. Today she tried nectarines for the first time!
Emma also is working on waving. If you check out her videos on YouTube you'll see her waving to Gabby. She also says dada as you can see in her videos. We're still working on getting her to say mama.
We also recently got her to sleep in her crib throughout the night. It's so sad to see her sometimes in the crib - especially when she is sitting down holding onto the rails like she is a prisoner! Or when she is sleeping folded in half like she just got tired of crying and then just folded over.
She continues to amaze me every day. I am incredibly lucky to be her mother! I love watching her grow and investigate the world around her.
How I found Bryan and Emma the other night....
Emma in her crib...how sad - she looks like a prisoner...

Emma in a Big Girl Swing
Because I am not too smart - I apparently can't remember to turn the camera the right way. So to watch you will either have to tilt your head or your screen. Either way - enjoy!

And another tooth..
As I was checking out the first top tooth on the left, I noticed a small white spot on the right - and there it is, Emma's second top tooth. There's still not much there - just these white spots of teeth. It will be so strange to see her smile with four teeth - it is already strange to see those two little bottom teeth.

Quick update
Today I noticed that Emma has another tooth coming in! It's the top middle tooth on her left side. It just might be why she had the crankiest day ever yesterday. It must have really been bothering her for a while, but it has finally pushed itself through. 3 down, 17 more to go (I think?)!!

Finally!
Emma has been so close to rolling from her back to her belly but she could never figure out how to get her arm out from underneath her. Well yesterday she got that arm out and rolled over from her back to belly! I couldn't believe it. And of course I didn't have the video camera. I will try to get some video of her rolling soon.
