Beee Happpyyy!

Bee Happy!

Here's my little "Bee Happy Bee"! Okay, you don't look so happy, but you are a cute little bee. This is your first Halloween costume....i debated over your being a ladybug or a happy bee and the happy bee won because you love to hear us make the bzzzzzz noise. I wish that someone had a video camera of your Daddy and i laying out in the yard in front of you taking photos while making our bzzzzz noises! You were very cute but i'm not sure if you liked being a bee, lol....

You gave me quite a scare two days ago....you some how managed to get out of your crib. I had put you down for your morning nap and about an hour later i heard a thud! I went running upstairs to your room with Maddie on my heel, flung open your door and there you sat on the floor in front of your crib...smiling at me as if to say "What took you so long, Mommy?" Maddie made it to you first (i was too stunned to move!) and was licking and sniffing you making you giggle. After picking you up and checking every inch of you at least 10 times to make sure that you were okay, i had to smile at you. You were making the "mamamama" sound....but i could still feel my heart beating out of my chest. So, needless to say, the crib mattress is down at it's lowest setting and i will forever make sure that i have the crib rails all of the way up! I had no idea, Emma, that you would be able to get (okay, tumble!) out of your crib.....and i felt like the worst Mommy in the world for not knowing. :(

We went to our second MOPS meeting and you to your MOPPETT meeting and i had fun; i think that you did, too. You were very good...Ms. Elizabeth said you napped most of the morning and played in the swing and on the floor the rest of the morning. You were also the only baby not screaming their lungs out! Ms. Elizabeth said you were a joyous, beautiful baby....i, of course, already knew that, but it was nice to hear her say that! I think that she has a special spot for you, Emma....you loved her shiney gold earrings and i think are facinated with her glasses and white hair. You smiled when i gave you to her and that made me feel a little better about leaving you in the MOPPETTS room while i went to the meeting. I am surprised that i am enjoying the meetings so much....i'm so glad that i found other Mothers to become friends with. It seems that these other Mothers understand my being a first time Mommy....and all of the fears and joys that come with being a Mommy. We are reading the Mommy Manual at MOPS; i just recieved my copy today. It's a bit intimatadating when i read that the woman who wrote this book (her name is Barbara Curtis) has twelve children! But i'm anxious to read this book....

You are napping now, little one. You are crawling so well! You can also now hold your own bottles and are able to hold a spoon. You haven't quite mastered the sippy cup yet; i think that you prefer sucking the cup, though. We've moved up to Stage 2 foods.....lots of different flavors and textures! You aren't that much of a picky eater yet, you seem willing to try everything which is a good thing for Mommy!

Well, we need to go to the grocery store, so i better get ready so i'll be ready when you wake up!

Love you, love you, love you.....
