Here are the promised remaining photos, and it didn't even take the couple of months I said it would. I resized the photos to make them upload faster and they are of poor quality now. Oh well... Sorry!
The photos are in reverse chronological order (except for the last two which are out of sequence) from just after Christmas back to late September. That means they are from Emma at 10 months back to almost 7 months.
The view while hiking just a few miles from our house.

Emma with new baby doll, 'Lil Emma. 10 mos. old.
On another adventure in the laundry basket, she managed to flip it over on top of herself and was incensed to find she was caged. :)
Wow!!! Thank you, Nana Anne!
More cool gifts, this one from Nana Kristi! She played peekaboo with it immediately.
And more great gifts from yet another grandma, these handmade by GG!
Thank you, Dorothy, for knitting this absolutely adorable sweater. We love it!
Learning to take steps. 9 mos. old. Now this girl practically runs and loves to climb everything, especially stairs. She'll climb up the steps to the neighbor's house and go knock on the door. :)

Birthday boy, Nathaniel. This was the first birthday party Emma attended.
Emma tackling friend, Andee Joy. Mama was with Andee Joy and her mom, Jaimee, when she went into labor with Emma.
Hugs initiated by Andee Joy. This was at 7 mos., but just last week we were playing with Andee Joy again and Emma this time initiated the hugs. That was the first time she'd done that, and she was so enthusiastic that AJ wanted some space after awhile and pushed her away. The rejection made Emma cry. :)
Dressed up in Team Daddy costume with friends.
