Swim Lessons

Em and I started a mommy and me swim class on March 5th. We LOVE it. I didn't know if she'd be scared since she's never been in a pool but she wasn't at all. She was just fine on her belly and back, and even stuck her face in the water for a second. The only thing she was freaked out about was the guy next to us. :) (ok so I guess it isn't a mommy and me, it's a parent and me class, because there were 2 dads there) Dani and Tabi are taking it with us and the two kiddos were having lots of fun playin in the water together. I did get one picture but I'm going to get more and then I'll post them.

Top Tooth

I noticed on March 2nd that Emery's first top tooth had broken through the surface. It's not one of the two front teeth though, it's one of the teeth next to them. I'm not sure how that's going to look when it grows all the way in but what can ya do? This makes 4 teeth, all of which are on the same side of her mouth except one. According to teeth charts she is not getting them anywhere close to the order most kids do, but whatev.

Starting to Stand

This post should definitely have some pictures with it but every time I try to get one Emery just gets excited and tries to come get the camera. On Feb 29th, (so about 9.5 months old) I noticed Em let go of the couch and stand by herself. It was way cute, you could tell she knew she had to be careful because she kept her arms straight in front of her, just inches from the couch, so she could hurry and stable herself if she needed to. She did it for a few seconds and then grabbed back onto the couch. Since then she has been standing lots. She can even clap while she's standing, so I know it's only a matter of time till those first steps happen. She can't quite get to a standing position without something to pull up on but she's trying to figure that out too. When I can actually sneak a picture without her noticing I'll get one up.
