For Tally...

Emma misses you and can't wait for you to come home so she can show you all of her new tricks! 

She thinks that she is really funny and laughs are herself all of the time for no reason, especially when we are trying to take pictures of her.

She really likes to "help" us load the dishes in the dishwasher after dinner.

She loves to reach up and try and play the piano, but still gets mad if you touch it while she is playing.  She doesn't like to be interrupted.

She loves to hit two toys together and is always so proud of herself after hearing the noise that it makes.

And as you can see in the picture above she is really good at taking her shoes and socks off.  She very rarely has both of her feet covered. 

She is still really good at, eating everything, begging for whatever we are eating, and being really chubby.

We can't wait to see you next week!  Hope the rest of your studying goes well.  You are the best.

Halloween and Stuff

Emma had a great first Halloween.  She dressed up as Cinderella which looked more like Alice in Wonderland apparently but whatever.  I thought she looked cute anyway.

We also had a Halloween party with the Glovers complete with a scavenger hunt, games for the grandkids, and food.  It was fun to see everyone dressed in their costumes!

Todd had a Halloween party at work as well and had a great costume, which I promised I would not post on the blog but maybe if you are lucky and ask him nicely he will show you a picture on his phone.  We made some treats for his party and Emma was able to stop by and visit dad at work!

In other news, Emma is now nine months old!  I just can't believe it.  She is getting so big and learning new things every day.  Her new favorite things to do are bang her blocks together and show how she can wave good bye to people.  We sure love her, as I am sure you all already know.

She just thought that she would have a little snack during the photoshoot.

Last Sunday we were trying to get Emma to take a nap before church, which is hard sometimes.  Lets just face it, church is hard most times.  Anyway, she was crying in her crib and then she stopped so I just assumed that she finally fell asleep and continued getting ready for church.  When I was done I came out of the bathroom and couldn't find Todd anywhere.  This is where I found him.

I guess he wanted to take a nap too.

Speaking of finding people in weird places.  Emma and I were over at my mom's house and my mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table.  We stood up to check on Emma and this is how we found her. 

 She really wanted to get to her toys!
