I can't believe Emery is 8 months old already. Wow, time sure flies. Currently she is sitting up on her own, has 4 teeth, says daadaa, and is in the process of learning to crawl. We are also working on food. It isn't easy. I am sure there is some book out there that explains it all, but we haven't come across it, so we are moving slow, and enjoying the faces.
We were adventurous and flew to Virginia to spend Christmas with the Birklands. Emery did great on the plane. Slept for the 2 hour flight and then played quietly for the last hour, and the same on the way back. Emery loved getting to spend time with Grandaddy and Buncle Chris. We were lucky to have great weather and were able to go out for walks each day.
Christmas day was fun, too. She enjoyed opening/chewing on her presents.
When we got back, we were visited by her great grandparents and great-great grandma. We are fortunate to be able to see them once or twice a month.
