It's been a while since we posted a new photo gallery. A lot's been going on, Emily is a very busy girl. In this set of photos we document Amma's visit to see her first great-grandchild. It was exciting to see Amma, Carol, Caroline and Emily Carol all together. We also took Emily on her first road trip. The three of us loaded up the car with an amazing amount of gear for a simple weekend trip. Emily got her first taste of the sweet life on Lake Travis and then we took her to her first party. My mom and aunt had a party for my grandparents who were clebrating their 60th anniversary. It was a great trip and Emily was a perfect road trip companion the whole way. As long as we stay over 60 mph she stays asleep and it's smooth sailing. Also in this photo gallery we have some pics of Emily playing on her activity mat and practicing her latest trick. Emily has learned to roll over from her stomach on to her back. Exciting stuff, I know! (And very advanced for her age, we are such proud parents.) She has also started smiling quite a bit. It's fun to make goofy faces at her and get her to smile at you. This is the first genuine reaction she has shown responding to us. She smiles quite a bit now and Caroline has been working diligently to capture it with the camera. Caroline and I are also trying to get a good family portrait of the three of us. So far I don't really think any of the ones we have are up to snuff. It seems one of us is always looking the wrong way or not smiling. Now that Emily is capable of being coaxed into smiling I'm hopeful we'll get a good one soon.
