Emily's experience at Grandma Graf's house

This was Emily's second time in the state of Utah, and this time, she was much happier about the situation. The first time she was in the NICU at Univ. of Utah hospital for 4 months when she was born and has since made it known to us that she does not much care for Utah. However, going to visit grandma Graf in New Harmony, Utah may have given her second thoughts about her negative opinion of the Beehive state...or maybe not... Emily is not too fond of fire-breathing dragons that growl at her. Or maybe she's doing her own imitation of a dragon.

Some full body shots of Emily in her PJs. Isn't she sweet?

(This next dozen pictures of Emily are at our house a month ago)

Emily was crawling around the living room and noticed a bright pink laundry basket laying on it's side. She crawled over to it and began to try to stand up. Instead, the basket flipped over on top of her, capturing her like a venus fly trap. After laughing ourselves silly, we finally released her from her self-imposed prison cell.

Just because I love her face in these pictures.

This is it, folks! There's no turning back now. Time to baby-proof the house again. I particularly like the picture on the lower left. Emily is doing her best Nacho Libre butt tightening moves.


Emily is such a happy baby and is always smiling well, except when she's not... haha. ;) She weights 16 pounds 8 ounces and is turning ONE in exactly THREE weeks. Which is crazy!
Emily had an evalution done to check her progress two months ago. And although she is a little behind by the non-adjusted scores she is measuring above in the adjusted scores. However, we are not concerned in the least. She is growing and learning at her own pace and she will be caught up to where she needs to be in no time...whatever that means really?? (I just thought I would put it on the blog for journal-ing purposes).

Emily loves to stand up and try to be big like her sisters. She loves to eat Gerber's puffs or just about anything really. She does laugh but you have to do something incredibly funny to earn it, she doesn't just give out laughs for free. She's cute beyond all description and we are not bias one bit. ;)
