9 Months Old!

We are nine months old today!!! Emory is getting so big. She is now started to laugh at everything. The other night she would just laugh at every little thing she was doing, it was so cute. You can't help but just to laugh with her. Sometimes we will be watching her and she will be playing and the next thing you know she is just laughing and smiling away. She is still trying to cut a tooth. I just wish that it would poke on through. I think it is playing peek-a-boo with us. Sometimes we will see a white spot and then the next time you look it doesn't even look like there is anything. We will go and see Dr. Shrum on Thursday and we will have current weight and heighth measurements for you. I know she is getting taller and heavier all the time. At therapy today, Ms. Laura said that she just keeps on improving, everytime she sees her she says. That is such a blessing too because she is behind on some of the milestones, but it is such a blessing to see her come along with everything. Because I know before too long she will be up and running before Dan and I realize it and we will not be able to keep up with her.

Emory has a ticklish spot right under her chin and on her chest. We can tickle her right under the chin or right on the chest right around her underarms and she just grins and giggles. It is the sweetest thing you have ever heard. It melts my heart everytime we do that to her and she grins and giggles. I really can't imagine my life with out her. She has changed me completely. I love her dearly.

On Sunday, we had our Keys' Family Cookout for the birthday's in August (HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN!!!!!) and a small wedding shower for Jason and Brittany (who are getting married August 31st). Afterwards we went back over to Dan's mom and dad's house before we left to come home, I found Emory like this:

This is her surprise look.

Last week Madalyn was up here to stay with Dan's mom and dad for a week while her parents went to Florida. She had loads of fun helping Daphna keep Emory. She would help assist with the eatings and the diaper changes and help keep Emory entertained. Madalyn is going to have a baby brother in November and I hope that this last week with Emory really helped her in some ways, so her mom, Damitra, will get some help out of her when baby brother gets here. She really wanted a baby sister. Madalyn went with her mom and dad to see the ultrasound and the doctor turned to her and said that she was going to have a baby brother and she no I am going to have a baby sister. But I think now she is more up to the idea of having a baby brother. She just loves Emory. Everytime I see Madalyn with Emory, she just keep saying aww how cute and everytime Emory would get upset she would be like what's wrong Emory, what's wrong. I just love the picture of the two of them together up above. They both have this "What" face on them. Like oh no not another picture please. Madalyn's last night with Daphna and Jimmy, they needed to go to WalMart so we told them that they could leave Madalyn with us for a little while and Emory justed loved it. Emory would try and find her when Madalyn was talking. I just cannot get over everytime I see Madalyn how big she is getting. I remember they day she was born, or the night rather. She was just a tiny thing and now she is getting so big.
