8

I'm just sliding this post in last minute! Today Emilee turned 8 months old. I'm actually not sure I beleive it. She is still my petite little pumpkin, although I do have new tricks to report! She's about got the combat crawl down. She's trying new foods, although she still prefers to nurse and once a day is about all she will tolerate with a spoon. She's still getting up several times a night but we're working on that (always).

Gordon has been in China for the past week, and my dear Sister in Law Laura flew all the way from Utah to spend the week with the children and I. She is a Godsend. I have never had such a great helper! I seriously wish I could steal her here full time (although I think Joseph may have something to say about that)! Anyway, Laura is a fabulous photographer and she took Emilee's 8 month portraits for me today. We just dashed over to the park really quick this evening, and although Emilee was NOT in the mood to have her photo done, she still is a cutie! She kept sucking her bottom lip and making a turtle face. We were laughing so hard! I love the one where her chin is up and you can see her tiny little neck, and the dandylion puff hair! I'm rambling. . . anyway. . . enjoy!!! (and Thanks Laura!)
