9 Months Old

She laughs and talks to herself in the mirror and will wave as well. She loves other babies.LOVES to people watch, and can eat all day long. She wants to touch everything and eat everything.

On 4/18/09 she went to Disneyland for the first time. Jon and I got to share this experience with our dear friend Scott Potratz. It was surprising to me how much she enjoyed herself. She loved watching all the people and looking at all the lights. The rides were another story. She actually used that time for naps. It was hot and there were a lot of people there. We got annual passes and now can enjoy this time more often with family and friends. I always seem to catch something when I go... wonder what I can do to prevent it next time.


Emma is 9 Months Old... this past month (8 months Old) was so much fun! She is so interactive, loves watching her video of YBCR. She has learned to wave, clap, laughs when you tickle her, puts her arms up and down upon request.She officially has 4 teeth on top and three on the bottom.


Emma is so active. Let me share with you a memory that I want to treasure in my mind forever.

In the morning after Jon goes to work and Emma wakes up I am usually so tired and I will bring her with me to my bed and we both fall asleep. Lately I am awakened by little hands hitting my face and rasberries on my arm or even my tummy, I open my eyes to a beautiful smiling face and my little Emma clapping. She clapping that Mama woke up.

Another one is... One Saturday Morning I woke up to a very loud "DADA!!!! DADA!!!! APPO! DADA!!! DADA!!! APPO! DADA! APPO!" I went to check if everything was okay only to find Jon asleep on the recliner with Emma hitting him and yelling. I don't know if she was saying apple or what, but I found that to be so funny and sweet.


Here is a video (for you Abuelito Juan).. Emma clapping.

Late but worth the wait....

Emma is about to turn 9 months and since our computer has been out of comission, I have been unable to post her what happened as a 7 month old going on the 8th month report. Next week I will post the 8th month happenings... I know people probably don't read this, if you do.. thank you.

So here goes...
She started crawling in the last week of her 7th month going into the 8th. She got 3 top teeth. She started watching the "You're Baby Can Read" Program . Started crawling. I found out she was mobile. Started eating "puffs" and yogurt melts. Laughs... with the cutest laugh I have ever heard. Plays peek-a-boo with you.Can feed herself her puffs and yogurt melts.

On another note... I've been very ill. In severe pain, at times unable to walk or care for my family. I have several testings to go through including a biopsy. Please keep us in prayer. Pray that God will help me get healthy. I am so thankful that Philippians 4:13 has come to life for me... in more ways that I could have even imagined... I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
