Faces of Emma - 11 months

Here she is at 11 months (plus a week or so but close enough). Between then and now she has cut four (yes FOUR) new teeth, all on the top.

Painting

If you wondered why I suddenly have time to post after completely missing June, it is because we finally finished painting our living/dining room. Emma and I have spent nearly four weeks playing in only half the house. Ugh! Of course, what better reason to go play outside, unless too disgustingly hot and humid.

Anyways, the final results are an improvement. At the start Grandma came for a visit to take care of Emma while I sanded down the baseboards (thank heaven of belt sanders!) Here we are taking a break. Emma fits nicely in the garden seat (sans the seat) I sit on to do low work.



Leo liked napping on top of the cabinets. Kept him nicely out of reach of little hands.


Emma helped Daddy rewire the outlets. She likes to be in the thick of things.




It was thirsty work.

At the park

In the afternoons, we usually go to the park. Sometimes there are other kids to play with and sometimes she has to make do with mommy. Whatever the case, she has fun.

Our morning walk

In the morning before her nap, Emma and I go for a walk. Sometimes we just walk down the street and sometimes we take the wagon and go around the block. This particular morning, Emma wanted to take the wagon.



Even with the wagon, Emma likes to get out and explore. Progress can be rather slow.

Not everyone is mommy material...

A picture is worth a thousand words. :)

Sailin'

We went down to the sailing club last month. Emma liked checking out the boats.

Faces of Emma - 10 months

Doug hasn't yet taken her 11 month photos so here's the 10 month ones I never managed to post. She is getting so expressive now. She's quite the girl.
