Trip to Rhode Island!
After spending 2 1/2 days with Great Grandma, we headed over to Grandma and Gramps for the rest of the trip! Talk about being doted on! My uncles got on the floor and played with me and my Grandma would just walk and walk and walk with me. At one time, she did the FUNNIEST thing ever! She played this game, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" with some flowers! I thought it was HYSTERICAL! Check it out - but make sure your volume is up!
My First Trip to the Beach!
At one point, Aunt Lynn had the brilliant idea of telling Mommy I could get worms by eating the sand. Mommy, of course, became neurotic and shoved a paci in my mouth every time we were at the beach. I didn't want it. The sand was much tastier.
We had great weather until the last day of our trip. Then it started to get stormy. We were down at the beach, and I kept tellin them it was time to go in. I finally just headed in on my own!

10 Months Old (almost!)
Well, lots to fill you guys in on since my last update. I am now full, fledged crawling like crazy. I crawl everywhere...including up the stairs! (About 5 minutes after this picture was taken me, Mommy, and Daddy went to Toy R Us and bought these not-so-fun things called "gates".)
My favorite thing to do is to crawl and climb all over daddy. I crawl up one side, face plant into the ground, turn around, and do it over again! It is FUN! Some times...I'd rather stand up on daddy instead of my usual crawling up and over.
Sometimes I get into mischief without daddy's help...like when I decide to help mommy reorganize her nightstand. WOW she has a lot of books!
This favorite summer hobby is going to the pool! I took swimming lessons and daddy says I was the best in the class. Mommy loves it cause I have about a hundred swimsuits and coverups she gets to dress me in...like this one I inherited from my good buddy Abigail.
I am also talking some now. I say Ma Ma, Da Da, Bye Bye (sometimes), thank you (sometimes), Hi! (my new favorite), and What!?!?!?! (daddy's favorite). Of course, if mommy and daddy ask me to talk for their friends...I won't do it. I can't be bothered with entertaining these boring adults. Instead, I just look at them and think "why do I have to put up with these imbeciles."
Well, that is it for now. I am sure I will post again soon since we are going to the beach in a few weeks and then to see my Grandma, Gramps, and Uncles who I have not gotten to meet yet. I am really excited! And of course my Great Grandma who is my favorite...after all I was named after her!
I'll be one before you know it and mommy says we get to go back to Atlanta for my first birthday. Daddy wants to know if mommy realizes we have moved to Houston and are not just visiting...I don't think so!!!!!!
Love,
Emmi

Trouble!
Mother's Day was fun yesterday. I made mommy a card at Sunday School that had my handprint on it. I also helped Daddy pick out some great presents for the beach! A nice beach bag and matching towels for me and mommy. I also got mommy flip flops but daddy got the wrong size. 6M is not the same as 9W. I tried telling him that! Anyway...I didn't feel so good cause something funny is going on in my mouth (I drool a lot and feel the need to chew on EVERYTHING) but I enjoyed snuggling my mommy.
Hope all of you are doing well! Love and miss you!

6 Month Update (a little late)
I don't know why mommy was so surprised. Is this a big deal or something? In all honesty, mommy was just trying to get me "scooting" on film. But, as it turned out, I decided to go ahead and crawl for her! I didn't realize how tiring it could be though! Wow! Sometimes it is so tiring...I just give up!
I told you! It is rough! Anyway...on to some other stuff I have started. More solids!!!!!!!!!! I eat all sorts of fruits and veggies now...green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries, bananas. WAIT! NOT BANANAS! Just like my mommy, smashed bananas gross me out! Every time I gag on them...mom gags with me! Just watch how nasty these are.
However, I am a fan of prunes. Notice how content and relaxed I am when she gives me yummy fruit!
Over the last couple of months, I have had some big events. One of those, was my boyfriend Trey coming to see me in Texas with his mommy. He is soooooooo cute. As you can tell, we are very much in love.
See what I mean?
Another neat thing that happened were the blue bonnets blooming. They are really pretty. They are the Texas State Flower and you can get shot on sight if you pick them. Well, that's at least how they act around here. In any case, I got my pictures taken with my BFF Paige. She is the greatest! She is 5 months older than me (which in baby time is like 5 years!) and she still let's me hang out with her. I told you she was cool! Mommy was too cheap to hire someone to take the blue bonnet pictures so she did it.
The biggest thing that happened over the last few months was Aleksandra joining our family! That's my new cousin (you may remember her as Sasha from Christmas. She changed her name. Teenagers! Who can figure them out!?!) She is 16 and the neatest cousin! While Aunt Lynn and Uncle Rod went to go get her from Latvia, mommy took care of me, Cousin Libby, Cousin Bryce, and Cousin Austin. I didn't think she was going to make it. But we survived...all of us!! Of course, mommy insisted on meeting Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rod, and Aleksandra at the airport. Something about not being to handle another minute...whatever that meant. Just kidding! It actually wasn't bad at all. I even heard mom describe it as "fun" one time! Of course, she did have great help from Grammy Nancy. On top of that, Grammy Carol, Aunt Mimi, Uncle Hal, Cousin Ethan, and Cousin Riley came up to see me! They were a big help too! In any case, mommy was still excited to meet them at the airport so here we are waiting for them to come up the escalator. That is Cousin Libby on the left, Cousin Bryce in the middle, Uncle Rod's daddy in the back, and then Grammy pushing me in the stroller. I am doin' my thing...people watchin. Cousin Austin was too cool to hang out and wait with us.
Well...I guess that is it for now. I will try to update sooner but growing up is very busy work! I will leave you with a link to all of my pictures over the last couple of months! I miss you and can't wait to see all of you!
