Fun in the Sun












This past weekend we went down to the Valley for my cousin Tylers homecoming. Scott and I bought appliances on Friday night for our NEW HOUSE, then Saturday we went to the zoo with Jaron and Bethany, Mom and Dad, Lacie, and my friend Amy came too! It was so nice to be outside in such beautiful weather! On Sunday after Tylers talk we headed over to my Aunt and Uncles and had lunch, ate outside, visited while EmmaLyn strolled around in the grass, and I took some pictures of her. EmmaLyn has such a STRONG personality! In other words she is stubborn! She knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it be prepared for a huge tantrum. I didn't know 8 month olds even knew how to throw a tantrum like that. I'm talking crying, then screaming, throwing herself on the ground and there are no signs of stopping once she has started! I love how much she is growing and learning. She can clap, crawl, sit up, smile when the camera is put in front of her, show off in a crowd full of people, laugh, she talks a lot and on rare occasions she will say momma, eats anything and everything off the ground, she loves graham crackers, applesauce, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, and anything else she can get a taste of EXCEPT formula! Like I said she is stubborn and does not want formula or anything to do with a bottle! She still doesn't have any teeth but she sure can gum things and I am nervous the entire time. She likes munching on strawberries, bananas, pizza crust (thanks to her dad!) cucumbers, carrots and anything else we give her! She is so much fun and I love that we can teach her things such as patty cake and high fives and she knows just what to do! She is about 13 lb and 27 in long. No doubt she is going to be tall and skinny! She wears 0-3 month clothes and most the pants are still to big in the waist. She eats all the time though so I know she's healthy! We love having her in our lives and I can't imagine doing anything else but playing and cuddling with my little baby EmmaLyn!
