Well, we can not believe that Emma is 7 months old. She has grown so much in the past month. She is sitting up by herself and has been working on get up on her hands and knees. She is able to get half way up, but she then does a nose dive. She is not quite sure how to balance her weight yet. Emma also loves to give daddy raspberries or at least her version of raspberries. She is very interested in her tongue and mouth. For the past 3 weeks she has been working really hard at making motor boat sounds with her tongue and lips. She has finally figured it out and loves it when we make noises with her. She is still very fascinated with Walle, but he has learned to sit right outside of her reach. I am pretty sure Walle will hate it when Emma starts crawling since Emma will be able to follow him when he moves away from her.
On our trip to Newport for Labor Day Emma discovered how much she loves sand! Usually when she gets a new toy or finds something new to grab she immediately puts it in her mouth. So, of course I was a little hesitant letting her play in the sand. Well she proved me wrong. She played in the sand for almost 15 minutes before she decided to put some in her mouth and even then it wasn't so bad. It was actually really funny to watch her reaction. So far Emma's favorite activities are swimming and playing in the sand. Not sure what she will do when we have to move away from the ocean and the beach. Below are a few pictures of our trip to Newport and our adventures on the beach!
