9 Months Old!!

Sweet Emerson is 9 months old already.  I can't believe how much Emmie changed during her 8th month - it's crazy!

Here are her 9th Months Stats:

Weight - 16 lbs. 5 oz. (5-10%)
Length - 26.5" (10-25%)
Head - 43.23" (34%)

So, she's little and that's ok!  Most people guess she's around 6 months when they see her.  She just loves to be held and is such a happy little girl.

She loves to move around and is an active little girl.  She can easily get to wherever she wants to go by crawling or cruising.  She can easily pull up anywhere and going up a stair (from the toy room to the laundry or family room) isn't a problem for her.

She protests a bit more at nap time as she would rather stay playing.  She also started standing up in her crib consistently shortly after turning 8 months.  No new teeth yet, but the doctor says the top teeth are about to pop through.  She has been a teething champ!

She has always been very into making strawberries and loves when we make silly sounds at her.  Her smile is ever present and her little laugh is just so sweet.  She is a happy little girl and she brings us so much joy!
 Yeah right, Emmie does not want her bow or necklace on!

4th of July

We had a very fun weekend!  We headed to Frontier Days on Thursday and had a great time.  Our 4th festivities included a parade and party with the neighbors.

Bike Flag Fun!

Grandpa and Grandma Welke gave the kids really cool bike flags.  The kids LOVE them.  They could not stop playing with them.  We like the flags better on their bikes and it makes the kids easy to see. :)

Bike Rider Boy!!

After a little practice...

Dane asked for his training wheels off last summer when Maddie learned.  We gave it a whirl and he did awesome!

Father's Day

We had a great time celebrating with so many special dads.  We feel incredibly blessed...

 Dane and Maddie picked out the Father's Day cards.  It was a really big decision!


 Doing FaceTime with the California crew.  Uncle Joe and Nico got the same shirts. :)





 Backyard fun!

Matt's first Father's Day as a father of 3! :)
