Emma's first steps by herself.

OMG! Today was the greatest day EVER! We went to the mall, to get out of the house and do some walking..that wouldn't get us wet. By "WE" I mean Nicole, my sissy Kiara, Missy, myself, and Emma. We stopped to let the girls play at the little play structure they have there. Man was it a mad house. We were sitting around watching Kiara run around and keeping Emma bug close, cause as I said, it was a mad house, and the bigger kids are crazy, jumping off structures and not paying attention to those around them, Emma was already head butted by a 4 yr old little girl, whose mother had nothing at all to say...GRR Don't get me started on parents these days...but back to the story. Emma was standing next to me hanging onto my shirt and was watching this little boy a little over a year run around...and just let go of me and kept going on her own she took maybe 10 steps and then fell over 2 or 3 steps from her target. I was the typical Mom and screamed, then almost cried. Needless to say about 30 other witnesses say my daughter fight for independence today, and then witnessed her silly mom fanning her eyes to keep the tears away. Ah well it was the greatest day ever...well almost the greatest day, that day was the day my baby was born.

My little girl is growing up so fast

OMG! My little girl is getting so big, and sometimes it just stops me in my tracks. It hit me today like a ton of bricks. It hit me today, while I was finishing up some homework.
She is doing so well standing by herself, and takes a few steps without support like from the couch to the coffee table. She is also hell on knees. She only has one speed, speed of light. Lol.
She is getting so independent. And has so many cute little quirks. And so damn entertaining.
Where would I be without her.

Pumpkin Patch 10-24-09

Well Saturday was the first day off for Daddy with no plans, so we decided to make a trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie's Island. I am really glad we made the trip. It was a nice fall day. Sun and all. We took a hayride down to the pumpkin patch, after seeing the barn animals, Where Emma was extremely excited about the mini pony and the ducks. The hayride on the other hand was not that entertaining for her, until the ride back, we held her up so she could stand-up on her own, she loved it. She loves her pumpkins but she loves the Churro Nuggets best. Lol.
On the drive home, Shane and I decided that we are going to hold onto the children's traditions of holidays and what not, until Emma decides she is too big.

EMMA'S CHECK UP

EMMA had her check up today she weighs 21.14 and is 29.5 inches long. Nothing big to report other then she is spot on where she should be. She had blood drawn today...and hated it! big shocker. And had her H1N1 shot...thats all there is Ill post some pictures from the time we were waiting on the doc, but right now it is late and Emma needs to go to bed.

Damn it all to hell

My Emma Bug gave herself by a black eye. She was unstable on her legs and fell and bumped her eye on the table, and her poor little perfect face is very disfigured. Makes momy sad.

Milestone for Emma

Emma got her ears pierced today with her Auntie M. it was so sad, and so cute she got a lollipop actually her first and that was the cute part, as well as her little earlobes with those cute little colorful daisies in sparkling in them. My little girl is getting so big and in a way that saddens me, and then again it excites me, I look forward to all the things I can teach her, that we can experience together, all the things I get to witness her do, her growth, and her problems I will fix, or make better...and yet we are right back to being scared...wondering if I will get it just right? Will I be good enough? I know as a first time mother this is expected...but it seems like such a suffocating feeling to doubt my ability as a mother, as her mother.

I knew it!

Well Emma finally broke her 1st tooth last month, today I discovered a second tooth broke through today. Could have been the reason she did not sleep for the last 3 days, hopefully we should sleep tonight. As soon as I can get a picture of the little bugger I will post it.
