Well, since my last blog, Grandma (my mom) has been here for a visit, and Emma decided it was time to crawl! The first night my mom was here (so, last Friday), Emma started "inch-worming" across the carpet with intensity. Prior to that she would spin, roll, and occasionally make some forward motion, but usually only by an inch or two and that would be it. That night she surprised and amazed us all by trying to follow Daddy from the livingroom to the kitchen, and she also went (pretty aggressively) after the bone Peanut was chewing!
In light of this new development (and also in part that we have company coming for the weekend) we rented a carpet cleaner from the grocery store yesterday and I steamed the downstairs carpets, finishing this morning. Jon has to return it before 1:35 pm today. Yup...they're pretty strict on the 24-hour rental....down to the minute. I think it does look better, but I know that we could go over it 20 times more and still get crud. We'll need to make it a point to rent one every 3 months or so and try to maintain. We also need to institute a "no shoes" rule in the house. That may be difficult, though, since we frequently use BOTH the front and back doors.
Emma is eating more and more tablefood with great success. Yesterday she ate past w/ tomato sauce, green beans, and a breadstick at daycare. AND, she ate most the green beans by herself, while allowing her teacher to feed her the pasta off a spoon. Oh, and she ate a LOT. I was shocked. Now that she's crawling, though, I guess she'll probably burn through more calories and her appetite will increase.
Other tidbits about Em...
1) she likes raisin bran...or at least the bran part
2) she loves to stand on couches so she's facing the back-pillows and has her arms draped over the top
3) her hair is starting to hang in her eyes a little, but she's not allowed to wear barrettes in daycare...I'm pretty frustrated by that
4) she loves music and dances/rocks whenever she hears some
5) she's a very happy girl first thing in the morning
