fun videos and spring decor

Our life is about to change!!  Little Em is on the move.  She's been doing a little army crawl for about a week now.  She'll usually lay her head down, lift up her bum, swing her left arm forward and push.  Sometimes she kicks her legs, too, like in this video.  It looks like she's swimming :)  When she started she couldn't get very far, but she's getting faster and better so we don't think it will be long before she's going everywhere!  I guess it's time to babyproof!

The other day Emily couldn't decide which paci she wanted.  She had a purple one attached to the outfit she was wearing and a green one attached to her pjs on the floor next to her.  The video doesn't really do it justice, but she was switching between the two over and over again, without my prompting, for a long time.  I had to help out a little to get her to keep doing it for the video.

This video is from a while back, but it shows what Emily does when she gets excited.  She kicks her legs as fast as she can and makes impatient grunting noises! She does this all the time between bites of baby food!

Emily's been eating so well lately.  She'll eat pretty much anything you give her.  She loves sucking on real fruit through her mesh thing and she really likes getting water.  She'll drink out of our cups, but she also likes being able to do it herself with a sippy cup.  Anyway, she doesn't usually get very messy eating anymore so one day I decided not to use a bib (probably because they all needed to be washed).  This is what happened... (if you can't tell, there are prunes all over her clothes and some on her face). She seemed very proud of herself :)

We've been loving the weather lately.  Emily has really enjoyed spending more time outside and our house is all ready for spring!

I threw a baby shower here last week for a girl in my ward.  It motivated me to FINALLY get the house put together.  We have a few more finishing touches, but hopefully we'll be taking pictures soon so we can post about the finished product!
