Emma- 7 Months

Little Em-

Tomorrow you will be 7 months old. I am writing this a day early since I will not have time tomorrow. You are going in for an MRI in the morning. I have to admit I am very nervous, and praying that everything goes just fine, and that the results are normal. I know this test needs to be done, but if I could....I would just not show up tomorrow. They are going to give you an IV, and sedate you. You just seem too little to have all that done! I'm sure you will be a trooper, you always are!

You have been awful busy this past month, and time is just flying by! You are still sleeping like a champ- 10 hours a night. You are now sitting up on your own, you are crawling/scooting backwards right now, but getting so close to going forward, and you just had your first tooth poke through your gums today. You are imitating all kinds of sounds and my favorite is a monkey! You are trying so hard to say "quack quack", but it just won't come out. I am also trying desperately to get you to say "Mama" first. Macie said "Dada" first so it's my turn!

You are such a happy baby. As long as someone is talking to you, you are content. You love when Daddy and I read books to you. It seems that Goodnight Moon is your favorite so far. You are so interested in all your toys. You try so hard to get to them, and study them before giving them a try.

You are such a snuggler, and I can't get enough of it. After you've had a bottle, you lay your head on my shoulder and just hang out there for a bit. You are always touching my face when I talk to you, and it's just the sweetest!

Can't wait to see what this next month brings. Love you to pieces!!!
