Emmy's first trip to Avila Barn

It's been our tradition to go to Avila Barn every year to pick out pumpkins and get in the Fall spirit.  I went last year with Kim when Emmy was in my belly and Kim was just Kim.  This year it was the three of us and now Kim is Auntie Kim!  We had a great time and Emmy loved all the bright colors and new things. 

Growing up so fast!

 We have noticed such a difference in our little girl in the last month or so.  She can sit really well, she can crawl (backwards), she says da-da-da-da, she lights up with pleasure when she sees us, she loves Koa, she gets mad when we take our cell phones away from her, and the list goes on and on.  She has quite the little personality and just gets sweeter every day.  I can't believe she is already 6 1/2 months!

Emmy's big girl highchair

I think she likes it! 

She definitely likes carrots!

And so does Koa

Emmy (and Koa) Eating

Now that she's about to hit the 6 month mark I think it's time to set up her real highchair this weekend.  I've accepted the fact that I am going to have this substantial piece of furniture in my kitchen for the next few years.  At least it is a very nice looking highchair--thanks Randy!!  Koa might be a little disappointed that he can't reach her to lick her face anymore, but I'll still let him lick the bowl when she's done.  Who knew he would like baby food so much?!?

Weekend with the family

Laughing with Grandma

Smiling with Great Grandpa

She loved the pool!

Koa's never far away from his baby Emmy

So fun!!!

Hawaiian Emmy

Thanks Michele W. for bringing Emmy the cutest dress from Kauai!

Sweet Emmy

Who knew my Coach purse would be such a good teething toy?

Another favorite toy for those sore little gums

As you can see this teething business really has her bothered

She's only had a few rough moments, other than that she's been a trooper

A million toys and her favorite is the tag

Practicing sitting

That didn't last long before she face-planted...

Hey mom, watcha got in your hands?!?
