6 months and 3 weeks (29 Weeks)

This past week has been pretty trying with Emma.  She stayed home from day care M-W with a 103 temperature and a heat rash.  Thursday and Friday, she was just plain fussy at day care and at night as well, breaking her wake-free nights just about every night in the past week.  Dan and I are exhausted, to say the least, but it's so hard to be upset when she wakes up with a huge smile on her face and she's laughing.   We just wish the laughs would wait a few hours :).

Emma is still not crawling.  Maybe her being sick put her behind, but she is still so close.  Friday night she was up on her hands and knees rocking like crazy.  We thought that was going to be it, because she moved her arm while shifting her weight, but she just head dove into Dan.  Everyone tells us that we'll wish for the days when you can put her on the floor and leave her alone for a few minutes, but we're so excited to see her crawl!

We ordered our safety gates and got them in this week.  They are pretty funny because they have a cat-shaped hole  cut out so the cats can get in and out of the room without having to jump over the gate! It's been fun watching the fat cat try and squeeze through!

This is a hilarious blog that I follow about a father who dresses up every day when the bus comes to pick his son up for school: Wave At the Bus. It puts a smile on my face every day! If you haven't checked it out, you should!

We went to Sam Mazza's to pick out pumpkins and see the animals (ok, maybe some cider doughnuts as well!).  We got quite a few pictures, so this slideshow took the best of the bunch.  I forgot to say last week not to hit the download button when you're opening the slideshow-I use the free version so there are advertisements while the pictures load.

We didn't get to stay for as long as we wanted because we brought all the necessary things to make a bottle: warm water and formula, but who remembered to actually grab the bottle?  Oh well, the pumpkin in the first picture is the only pumpkin we ended up bringing home.  There's always next weekend!  We got to see Ryan from Guster as well with his baby, which was so exciting!
