Discovery and Balance





Emily has developed a great deal this summer.  She has enjoyed being able to crawl around with no problem and has picked up some speed, pulling herself to her feet and cruising along the furniture.  Standing and getting back to a seated position are done quickly.  She is starting to grasp the floor and then sit, as far as standing on her feet solo usually happens with a bit of a crash.  I have become a gymnastic spotter and am moving more quickly than I ever have before.  Minor bumps and bruises have occurred but she is getting more stable everyday.

A wake of toys develops in her path.  She is into everything and loves to look at books, make noise on the piano and play with her dollies.  The Little People Dollhouse is her newest discovery, she is very interested in flushing the toilet (it makes noises), and driving the little car around.

Emily with be one year of age next month.  Where has the time gone?  I have been in super mommy mode that I have not been keeping track of the days.  We will have a cake and prezzies for her, while visiting with family and friends.  Should be allot of fun for all.



Four teeth have now appeared and the fifth one is on its way.  We have been brushing and she will suck on her toothbrush while I am trying to teach her the importance of it. Her teeth have been giving her a little grief, but nothing out of the ordinary.  Some days are better than others,  she eats allot and others not so much.  Sleepy days to being restless.  Happy go lucky sometimes turns into weepy and cranky.  She is mostly such a delight to have and I have been trying to relive some symptoms with Baby Tylenol or Camilla Teething Holistic Solution.  She is eating things like Cherrios, Toast, Biscuits,  some soft fruits and veg (chopped).  As well as water and juices.  I do fill her tummy up with strained and junior foods due to she has a strong gag reflex and the whole foods frustrate her and she will want to stop eating.  I am in no rush to hurry her along and know she is doing the best she can with only 4 teeth. Soon she starts on Homo Milk and I can stop buying formula.  Already she has had small amounts of yogurt and peanut butter and I found no reaction to it.  She is fond of spaghetti and likes to eat home made stews (pureed).  I do admit she has enjoyed the occasional spoon of cheesecake or ice cream.  But sweets are kept to a minimum and only happened on a holiday get-together.

Everyone that meets Emily loves her and says what a wonderful girl she is.  We love you cutie!
