her first year - eighth month

sweet, sweet emma! this was definitely the hardest photo session yet. you have just gotten so mobile with your rolling and your huge desire to crawl. you were obsessed with pulling on the calendar and wouldn't stop for anything. when do you start understanding bribery?

unfortunately, you're still taking breathing treatments but you are so good with them! you are living up to your name 'emma wheezy'! you have the sweetest spirit of any baby i've ever known.

you have developed this super high-pitched scream. it's a happy scream but it could really break glass! you think it's pretty hilarious and we do too, but man, it's piercing!

this is my absolute favorite pic of you this time. a little bit of ornery but a whole lotta sweet. you want to crawl SO bad and it's hilarious to watch you try and try.
you want to eat big girl food all the time but you still have a crazy-good gag reflex so if you get something you don't like or if it's too big, it ALL comes up. you sister did it too so we kinda know how to deal with it.
pretty sure this is the last pic i'll get of you on your back. getting a smile this time was super hard. you're certainly getting independent!
you get to this position really fast and then you fall on your belly. you can't quite seem to stay up. you will soon, so don't worry!
you absolutely kill me with this eyebrow. i'm so thrilled you got that from me. i think it's a hysterical trait and man, it makes you even more adorable!
i have about 20 pics of you sitting like this and grabbing the calendar. you were relentless.
no sweetie, i really don't care about the calendar. you can do anything you want to it and i won't get mad. i'm pretty sure that's the foundation of our relationship.
i hate it that this one is dark but i can totally hear you saying "no, i'm the baby and i make the rules!" you are so funny at eight months.
see? that right leg always gets stuck and you can't seem to recover. silly willy!

we're working on waving bye-bye and here is the proof. you are really working on it but you'd much rather sit there and grin.
if i haven't said it before, i'll say it now. you are the reason people have ten kids. you are the sweetest, most easy going baby in the free world. the only thing you don't like is being alone and who can blame you for that? my front teeth are shorter because of you - you make me grit my teeth countless times a day!

i have a feeling that our next session will be much harder and i'll be talking about you crawling….oh my! just don't get any more teeth, okay? i'm good with your perfect two! i love you more than you could ever imagine, sweet emma louise!
