| Almost Crawling |
- talking A LOT...in the car, in her crib, on walks, while eating, while playing, and everything in between!
- she is in the process of growing two teeth, they are just barely sticking out
- sits up by herself
- laughs and smiles all the time
- loves being outside
- loves other kids and has so much fun with her babysitting buddies
- eat almost everything
- squishes slimy food and wipes it all over the highchair

| Spring Break on the Dairy Farm! |
Emilie also says, "dada", "mama", "baba (bottle)", and is starting to repeat the sounds of phrases like, buh-bye, want to eat, and dog
She continues to grow and is so long that she wears 12 month footie pajamas.
She is also a tough cookie: no tears or even a flinch when she got her follow-up shot a couple weeks ago. She only cries when she bonks her head and knows someone is watching :).

| Butterfly Garden |
For Spring Break we visited Grammy at the Farm and went to see the cows, chickens, bunnies, and kitties.
We also went to see the butterflies at Frederick Meijer Gardens. Emilie was very well behaved and has completely turned a corner after five months of torture! :)
Emilie has continued to eat a variety of food, but she refuses to try finger foods. As soon as a piece of food hits her mouth she gags dramatically.

| Happy Spring |

- being in the KinderParade at Tulip Time
- 9 month check-up
