In Support Of The Theory Of Evolution

In case anyone wants to debate the theory of evolution, our daughter single handedly (or bi-footedly) proves that humans are in fact descendents of apes. Yes, she holds her own bottle, and has since she was 6 months old. But sometimes she gets tired and needs some "help." That's where the feet come in. My favorite is when she pulls a "Look, Ma! No hands!" and only holds it with her feet. Call the circus, we have a sideshow act for you... And yes, she does only have one sock on.

In other fun, Emily-isms, she has taken to making this scrunched up face at random times for no apparent reason. We thought at first maybe her nose was itchy, or that she had to sneeze. But no, she just likes to make the face, apparently just because she can. Although today it might have been because I was trying to feed her carrots and she just wasn't havin' it.

Let's Get This Party Started....

So, I've decided that it's time to start Emily's blog again. She's a woman of the 21st century, so it's time that she start documenting like one! Or, at least that we start documenting like one for her...

Emily is now 7 1/2 months old. In the past day or so, she has learned to crawl backwards. She gets up on her little knees and rocks back and forth and then pushes backwards. It's really cute to watch. I guess this means that we should babyproof...

But her FAVORITE thing to do these days is jump up and down. On anything. But we discovered that she particularly likes jumping up and down in the Jumpster Swing that you hang in a doorway. Yes, she is a lunatic.... Must take after her Daddy.... Check it out!
