Emily is such a goof when it comes to things that she is afraid of. In some ways she reminds me of a dog. She is afraid of the blow dryer, and terrified of the vacuum. Every time I vacuum the house and I am not holding her even if she is in her high chair or johnny jump up she will scream and cry. Not her normal crying but more of a "Ahhh! Save me! Its gonna get me!" The instance I pick her up she stops and is just fine. For any of you who have a dog it acts pretty much the same.
The other day I found one of my old toys from when I was a little little girl. Do you remember the little wooden dog on wheels that you would pull around on a string, and it would make this really weird noise? Well, Emily is terrified of it. I pulled it out the other day thinking that she would just love it, and she at first just watched it roll back and forth, and then I started to pull it toward her and she would make a scream that sounded like "ahhhh!" I feel horrible because she was all shaky and it really made her upset to the point that if she even saw it she would start to cry. Hopefully she will end up just loving it.

Here Comes Santa Claus
We took Emily to go see Santa, and get her picture taken with him this past week. She did really well with only one baby meltdown. We purchased the whole CD of pictures and it was really fun to see the progression of Emily meeting Santa in the pictures. They started out with a very close examination of him, and then she started to cry. After I calmed her down we were able to get some really cute pictures with her cute little dimple grin. The Santa at the South Hill Mall was such a cute Santa and was such a sweetheart with Emily. I think we will go back to this Santa next year and shoot for the first week in December to avoid the lines.
I'm not too sure about this guy...

5 month pictures
When we were down in Utah my cousin took Emily's pictures for us. She did such a wonderful job, and caught many cute pictures and especially her cute little smile.
Thanksgiving and more
A lot of things have happened in the past month. Emily got her second tooth, she has rolled onto her tummy, and a few times from her tummy to her back. She has started to eat cereals and we are now introducing fruits and veggies. She is able to grab her bottle and get it into her mouth, and she puts herself to bed now too.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. We spent it with Nathan's family, and it turned out so nice. The food was delicious, great company, and Emily behaved for the most part. I made Yam Apple Casserole. It is a tasty mix of apples and yams in a yummy sweet mixture. It is a tradition in my family to have that at all the major holidays and this was my first time making it. Nathan and I spent the evening before going to the store, and he was such a big help constructing all of the layers.
You will probably think I am nuts, but on Thanksgiving my mom, cousin Robin and myself made our way to Michaels for the big pre black Friday sale. We were one of the first ones in line and we fought the 'huge' crowd to the cricut cartridges where we were able to fight to get the ones that we wanted. Actually it was the most laid back sale shopping that I have ever done. They opened a half hour earlier then they had posted and there was maybe a dozen people in line. Not quite a mad rush to the bins like last year. We were able to get everything that we wanted and get back to the festivities all within less than an hour. We did the early early morning sales too. Fortunately for me all of my shopping didn't take very long, and I did not have to stand in line for very long.
Poor little thing doesn't like the numbing gel for her teeth. I don't blame her because I tried it and boy is it horrible.
The first time we fed her rice cereal. She took to it really well.
I'm ready to go!
The little stinker went through this phase where she would suck on her pointer finger and her thumb every time we would put a spoonful of cereal in her mouth.
We got this little teddy bear from Nathan's aunt and little Emily just loves it. Her little face would light up whenever we brought it out and she would reach out for it.
