8-Months

Emerson Marie turned 8-months on July 22nd. Our Princess in learning more and more daily. She is still such a baby to us...and she really is. However, she has had a great month of many firsts. Before I begin, I would just like to tell my Little Girl what a joy she has been. I thank God everyday for this perfect being. How we have been so lucky is beyond me...we are grateful for our beautiful, healthy, happy babies everyday. We now have our Little Girl...and now that she is 8-months, life is getting more exciting. Her personality is starting to shine. Emerson will let us know when she is NOT happy...when she does NOT want to be left for few minutes (as we tend to her very busy brother), she wants a part in EVERYTHING these days...so we decided to introduce her to more of what life has to offer (however, one of them came without welcome- ie. ear infections) A month of many "firsts~"

• 1st Ear Infection...and then again with more fluid in the ears...2x on antibiotics in one-month. (I am praying that this is not a sign of what could be to come)
• 1st trip to the zoo
• 1st 4th of July
• Introduction to her high-chair
• Introduction to her sippy-cup
• 1st trip to the race track (Arlington Race Track)
• 1st meeting with Great-Grandma (Rojas) in town from Mexico
• Sitting up with no help of anything behind her
• Holding herself up (almost entirely) while standing
• Clapping her hands
• "So Big!"
• Blowing kisses
• 1st taste of sugar (yes, Kelly)~ a lick or 2 of a snowcone...and loved it
• Dancing~Loves music
• Rolling from side to side to get to objects
• 2 teeth...waiting for more
