Well, as of my last post at the beginning of April, Emery had yet to crawl. I am happy to report that our little girl crawled on Easter Sunday, at my grandmother's house in front of my side of the family. Since then she has been into EVERYTHING and making my life absolutely crazy. Even though she finally figured out the crawling thing, she still much prefers to be on her feet and "walking" - she loves for me to lead her around all day (and I do mean all day) holding onto my hands. We walk circles around the room until I am dizzy, and she just screams for more when I stop. We also have a few push toys that thankfully she likes, and it gives my back a break. She is all over the place, and I know that it is really just a matter of time before she is RUNNING everywhere.
Emery took her official first steps yesterday, once again in front of my side of the family at my grandmother's house. I'm not sure what it is about my grandmother's - maybe Emery just really needs an audience before she decides that she's going to do something momentous! It was really amazing, and I cannot believe that our tiny little baby is actually taking those first steps on her own. Below is a video we took of her walking right before bedtime. She can only do about 4-5 steps by herself, but like I said...I know our days of babyhood are limited and we're approaching that "toddler" phase pretty darn quickly!
Her first birthday is fast approaching, and I'm planning to send out invitations this week. I can't believe it...and I have to admit I'm starting to get pretty emotional about it. It's been a really fast year.
