Jeff came over for a few days on his way to Stanley and then back to Oregon, and what do you think the engineer and future computer science major did for fun? Pulled out their laptops and talked about their new levels of “dorkdom.” Still, it was fun couple of days, and Emma, though not so sure at first, got to know her Uncle Jeff a little bit.

It’s amazing how fast Emma is learning and growing. Our neighbors have a cat that likes to run in our house every now and then, and Emma loves to chase it and squeal when it runs away. She also enjoys pulling herself up to a standing position; though with some attempts ending in tears with a bonked head, she’s doing pretty good.

Emma’s new thing is scrunching her nose (picture on the right) mainly when there’s wind or sun in her face. She also pulls this face at new people as if to tell them they stink :)

 

Emma Moving Forward….Brad Going Back September 1, 2008

Well, on Saturday, Emma started to crawl just a little bit, and we were so excited! Then we woke the next day to find that her new skill had greatly improved. Needless to say… we are not so excited anymore. This girl is into everything!!! I pour a whole basket of toys out for her, and she turns and goes for dvd’s, remotes, cords, and her favorite thing… Brad’s amplifier which we have placed a mirror in front of until we can find a better solution. We have a lot of Emma-proofing to do…  (I apologize for the quality of pictures…still working with the camera)

Onto another topic… Brad started school at BSU last week and found that he was spending at least 45 minutes a day walking from class to class and back to the car, and so to find a solution to this problem he looked back to (what I like to refer to as) his “skater-punk” days. He can get this thing cruising; it’s pretty impressive!
