9 months in...9 months out

It's official. She's been out longer then in. On Friday Emery hit the big 9 month mark! 17lbs, 27 inchs. Yesterday she stood up by herself in the middle of the room. she did use her toy to boost her up but stood there for a second by herself. That was pretty cool. She has been pulling up on anything and everything for a while now, and can use her push toy and make it down the hall way.

We have been laying low the last few weeks but we have a big road trip coming up. We're headed to New Jersey to see Dave's family. his siblings haven't met her yet so that's exciting.

Her personality is starting to show. She laughs at stuff all the time now. Dave can always make her laugh with his dancing. I must admit, it's pretty funny. She loves water glasses. If someone has a glass of water she wants it...bad. and she's strong. She'll pull it with force and put it right up to her mouth. So we've been giving her sippy cups with water in them. she seems to really like that. She talks to wriggley all the time, we call her the dog whisper....but she's really loud...wonder where she gets that from. She always has a ton of wax in her ears and I told Dave that's her body's way of dealing with my voice.

Next month we're headed to feb for Natalie and Trace's engagement party. Boston...in Feb. crazy.
