7 Months Old

Emma turned 7 months old today.

Swimming Day

Emma had the opportunity to swim for the very first time today. She LOVED it! We had so much fun playing with her in the pool. We can't wait to take her swimming again. Here are a few pictures from her swimming day.

Emma's First Team Retreat

Emma had a good time in Krabi with our teammates. This was her first retreat and first opportunity to stick her feet in the swimming pool.

First Time Eating Solids

Emma had the opportunity today to try solid food for the first time. She was so ready to try something new. She loved the rice cereal.

Emma's New Friend

Emma got to meet Rat's new baby today.

Look Convincing?

Emma has begun this huge fascination with the cups we drink out of. Anytime we put a Nalgene bottle or glass to our mouth she reaches for it. A lot of time she just wants to lick the side or put her mouth on the rim. Today, I gave her the straw to see what she would do with it. She put her mouth on it just like she knew what to do and then grabbed it just to chew on. The picture makes it look like she already knows how to drink out of a straw!

6 Months Old

Ready to Go!

Emma's Visitors

Our Thai friends just love Emma! They have come over numerous times just to hold and play with her. It's funny...Rat is expecting her first child and she insists that her husband needs "practice" holding a baby. So, she frequently tells him to get her. :) Everyone laughed at the look of distress on Emma's face when Jo held her. (First picture)

Wearing my New Dress

Mi Mi (Tricia's mother) sent Emma a new dress. Today was the first time Emma got to wear it.
