Emily's First Haircut!

Emily had her first haircut on Memorial Day! She really just needed a little trim as you can see in the first picture below. We stopped by Snip-its in the Forum shopping center, and after a little trim, Emily looked great! 

Before the scissors came out:

The finished product!

Look what I can do!

Emily surprises us every day with new things that she has learned by watching us. Here's a couple of videos that show just how much she is changing day to day:

10 Months and Pool Time!

 Emily is 10 months old! As you have seen, the biggest thing to happen this month is that Emily is walking with her toys, and she is very close to walking on her own!  She's become much more vocal, saying "mama" and "dada" all the time, and she understands lots of words. Em can wave and clap her hands, and enjoys drinking juice or water out of a sippy cup. She has moved up to the next room at daycare, which is the room for the mobile kids. It's so fun to watch them play! Emily also had her first visit to the pool recently. She was very curious about the water, and was much happier in Mommy and Daddy's arms than her baby float. She enjoyed splashing the water and sneaking in a few sips. Silly girl!

Here are some pictures and a video of Emliy's first trip to our neighborhood pool. Enjoy!

Almost walking!

Emily's new favorite thing is walking around with her Vtech Sit to Stand Learning Walker. She has loved this toy for a long time, but now that she has discovered that she can walk with it, she doesn't play with anything else! Here's a video of the first time I discovered that she could walk with it on her own:

Tita and Jido are back!

Fouad's parents have moved back to Georgia from Lebanon, and Emily has been enjoying some quality time with them since they returned. Here's what Fouad's Dad calls a "Million Dollar Mustache Touch"!

On the road again...

I had my first trip for work since Emily was born over the first weekend in May. I headed to some very cold weather in Denver, and Emily and Fouad had a Daddy/Daughter weekend. To make matters worse, the convention was a pediatric convention, so there were babies everywhere! Thank goodness I recieved lots of updates from Fouad, and cute pictures on my camera like the one below when I returned!
