9 Months Old!!

YO YO YO MAMMA..... (note the bruised left cheek)

Gosh it has been so long since my last blog. Emily has grown so much and has now hit the 9 Month milestone. 9 Months sees her crawling properly now on hands and knees (and quite fast too I might add) she is also pulling herself up on anything and everything that she can and she is starting to try her hand at cruising as well. I think she has her brother's adventurous spirit and no fear attitude which means that mixed with all this increased mobility means that we have a lot more bumped heads, bruises and tears too. Although Emily is in no way the talker that Riley was at the same age she sure can put her point across. She has a few words in her repertoire including, Bub, Dad, Ri Ri (for Riley), Hello, Bye and I am quite sure that Riley and I heard her say Bec the other day. Still waiting for Mum of course which is an endless source of amusement for my two boys. She is waving hello and good bye, clapping and this past few days when you ask her where her head is she touches her head with both her hands and she can do the same when you ask where her ears are too, we are working on eyes, nose and mouth. She is slowly getting her appetite back after being sick with an ear infection and she is now cutting 3 teeth (to add to the 3 that she already has) she is enjoying a much wider range of food now too, in particular she is loving rice cakes, cauliflower, banana, cucumber and pasta and as always her vegemite sangas of course. She has also started to have some diluted apple juice and i think has yet to spill a drop, water on the other hand..........I have had to buy her a bib that wears pretty much like a dress to cover as much of her as I can in an effort to preserve her clothes and keep her clean whilst still allowing her to exoplore different foods and work out how to feed herself. Fun times. Lately she has been enjoying watching herself on webcam too I think she gets a kick out of seeing herself on the screen and as most of you already know she loves the winks on the chat window too. She really is a bundle of fun and personality and we are all really enjoying the joy that she brings to our family.

Chilling out watching some Hi-5 with big bro.


Going for a ride on the vaccum cleaner.

That little girl sure is a source of enjoyment to all of us. She is such a joy to watch on the video cam. Riley sure does play with Em a lot and you can see just how much he loves her, but the feelings are very much reciprocated. It won't be long now till Em starts walking and then there will be nowhere she can't go.Enjoy the peace now while you can and have fun.Love to all xxxx.
