Trick or Treat.

Well, I tortured Emma again by dressing her in her lobster outfit and taking her out to "Trick Or Treat" at our neighbor Eddie's house. She looked so cute, and miserable. Eddie was passing out Trick Or Treat pretzels, she may actually be able to eat these! It was short lived but fun.

Offer

Yeah, we had an offer on the house!!! Hope it works out.

Gerber baby

Now, you must agree that she is the CUTEST baby in the whole world!

Happy Halloween!

Emma is going to be a lobster for Halloween. A lobster you say, that is a weird first Halloween costume. Well, here is the story about how we came up with a lobster costume. A few years ago I had heard a tidbit of information that lobsters mate for life (apparently that tidbit was on Friends, but I didn't watch that show). Anyways, I told my husband and and he would say sweet things like.. Your my favorite lobster, my only lobster, the best lobster for me, ect. Of course we had to have a baby lobster!! So that is how she got to be a lobster for Halloween. When I saw the outfit I had to have it, I just couldn't believe that someone made a lobster costume for babies. I am sure you will think she is a cute as I did.

Selling and Buying

Good news is that our neighbor took our offer, looks like we are closing on Nov 8th. Being that this is the first house we have had to sell this is all new to us. We put it on the market this weekend and have had a few lookers. It is really stressful to have people coming into our house with a 7 mo old and her nap schedule. And trying to keep it super clean all the time with 3 animals is not easy. I am just glad Emma is not mobile and messing up everything. I hope our house sells quick.

Pictures

We took pictures of Emma today with her friend Madeline. They are so cute together. It will be so much fun when Emma is walking and they play together. I hope they are friends for a long time.

Flu Shot

Emma got her first flu shot today. I had to work so daddy took her to the Pediatrician to get it. He said she did great.

Strangers....

Today is the first day that I have left Emma with strangers. I went to the Moms Day Out Program at my church and left her in the nursery with 3 volunteers, all older ladies. I think they thought I was crazy b/c I wanted them to clean the toys before Emma played with them. I also wanted them to wash their hands before they touched her, but I couldn't get the nerve to say that. I am such a wimp. I teared up a little when I left her. But overall I did ok, I even resisted the urge to go and check on her. She seemed ok when I picked her up, exhausted. Apparently she didn't nap at all. She feel asleep immediately in the car. Well, it seemed to go ok, so maybe I will go back.

Possible House

After several weeks of looking we found a house on our street (actually on the other side of our neighbor) that we really like. We're putting an offer in and putting our house up for sale next week.

Finger foods

I started giving Emma little baby cereal to practice picking up and putting them in her mouth. Its so funny to watch her. She can get the cereal piece in her hand and then can't figure out how to get it out of her hand into her mouth. She will shove her whole fist into her mouth. It's so cute. Well, just about everything she does is so cute. I just love being a mommy.

Playgroup

It was so cute today at the playgroup. Emma was sitting on the floor playing with some blocks, sticking them in her mouth as usually. Well, Lauren came over and took the block from her and started to feed the block to Emma. It was so cute, well, untill Lauren realized that the block didn't fit and started hitting Emma's face with it trying to get it to fit. It was so funny. Luckliy Emma is so laid back that she didn't seem to care.
