A Few Updates!

I can't believe that Emma will be 10 months old next week. Double digits! :) Ella, one of her friends in her daycare class is turning one in just two weeks! They are no longer the babies at daycare and are part of the big kids now!

Emma is still changing by the day. She learns more and more sounds to make everyday (today was something similar to "duck"). Emma now points at everything and is constantly on the move. Over the past two weeks though, she has been on what Wes and I like to call a "Milkies Strike". After her stomach virus episode, she increased her formula drinking to a consistent 6 ounces at every bottle (she was never a big formula drinker), but we again find our selves at the point where its a good day, if she drinks a 4 ounce bottle in one sitting. She has started to completely refuse bottles here and there throughout the day, so we are trying to give her more formula in a cup so she get something! Emma has also developed a bigger love for water! She could drink that until the cows come home! Her schedule still remains about the same, with the occasional later bedtime of 7:30 or 8:00PM, and the random sleeping in to 6:00AM. Here are a few new pictures of the little monster!

We recently started trying to get Emma used to using plates, but this is pretty much what the situation ends up looking like. Emma is a big fan of Peek-a-Boo, so maybe this is the dinner version of Peek-a-Boo? :) I don't have the heart to tell her that I can see her under the plate. :)

The rest of these pictures were actually from today after getting home from daycare. The more food that Emma tries, the messier she gets! This was after a dinner of sweet potatoes, bananas and cheese. Needless to say, the cheese was her favorite part. No question...she is her father's daughter!

You can also tell how funny her hair is coming in. She has these little "tuffs" of hair that shoot out of nowhere!

This isn't the best picture, but I was trying to get a shot of her front teeth. So here they are! In all their glory!

Finally! My clean, good smelling baby was back! Well...at least for a little while. About 30 seconds after these next two pictures were taken, I noticed Emma was working on a little something. So just as I was speeding through the rest of her bath as I knew exactly what was coming...she beat me to the punch and pooped right in the bath!! So needless to say, we had two baths tonight, with a tub cleaning in between! Naughty!

But, here you can see how much she loves her little ducky! There are usually at least 10 other toys floating in the water and she always finds her rubber ducky to chew on!
