Surprise! We have a baby. I know it's been forever and then some since we have updated, so I decided that one of my resolutions this year will be to update the blog AT LEAST once a month, more if possible.
So much has happened that I don't know where to start, so I'll just skip over most of it. I saw on a friend's blog that they wrote what new things their child had been doing that week or month. I find it a wonderful way to track what Emery's been up to since I am so bad at staying on top of things.
Emery is now seven months old! Happy seven months to you baby. I have had the time of my life so far and couldn't imagine a single second without you. Being a momma to you is the greatest thing in the world.
Here's what's new in your life:
At 5 1/2 months: You began trying to sit up by yourself and twirl your ankles constantly. This is a trait that never ends. Whether you're eating, laying down to play, throwing a tantrum in your bed, your cankles are going non-stop.
At 6 months: You get upset when we take away a toy you love, you can sit up by yourself with minimal wobbling and you are recognizing your name when we talk to you. You love to squeal as high as you can go and crack yourself up with your noises.
At 6 1/2 months: You wave your arms at people if they wave back at you and are starting to have Momma separation anxiety. You also pick your arms up when you want picked up by someone. You are blowing bubbles and jibber jabbering to yourself when you play.
At 7 months: You definitely have Momma separation anxiety and want me around if you can see me. You are very independent and don't want to take naps very often, wearing me out! You like trying to sip out of our cups, but I don't want you to grow up too fast, so I haven't bought you a sippie cup yet.
I've posted a few pics of us in Mexico for our early Christmas above.
Drew started back to classes again today. Thankfully his schedule gets better each semester, so we see him more and he has time to hang out with us and play with Emery. He'll be done next April and I am counting down the days. I'm even contemplating making a paper chain to countdown...perhaps when we are only down to a year. :)
I've started working full-time again this week. It's been one day and it's been long. We'll see how long I can last working 40 hours and chasing a goofball around. Thankfully she isn't rolling across the floor or crawling yet. It saves me a little bit before everything gets baby-proofed.
Well, she's actually sleeping and hasn't woken up yet wanting to play. So I'm off to bed. Good night!
