Emma's First Steps!

Breaking Through the Mental Barrier
One of these days, Emma's just going to have to break down and take her first step. She's pretty much standing on her own now, for as long as she wants, and she'll walk around if one of us is holding her hand. But when we try to get her to take a step towards us, she just squats down, and crawls over.
Any day now, she's going to realize that she can get around on her feet, and that's goind to be it. Expect an update here as soon as it happens. ;-)

Go, daddy!
Emma hates to be in the car when it's not moving. Stoplights, traffic, whatever. She can't stand it.
We're in the car now, waiting while Mom went into a store, and I'm getting the baby equivalent of a chewing out from poor Emma...

Danger, Will Robinson
Heard on the news last night that someone tried to steal some guy's laptop at gunpoint at the light rail station I use almost every day. Nice...
It's stuff like this that makes me extra careful about carrying/using my gadgets, and being aware of my surroundings in public.
Use your head, and don't make yourself a target!

Josh, look! Aren't you proud of me?!
Yes, this is Rachel's first "independent" post. I feel so geeky. We are enjoying having the site and getting comments from friends and family. For your info, we did have a little family June birthday celebration, of which Emma was a birthday celebrity (for her 1st birthday). We will get photos on our site of that soon. Meanwhile, Emma continues to astound us with her sweet femininity - growling, snorting, making car noises and trying to burp on demand.

We Survived the Photo Shoot
We survived our photo shoot. After an early morning fashion consultation with Allison, Rachel decided on the yellow outfits/shirts. So off we went to the portrait studio, and everything went fine. Emma has such a wary personality when it comes to strangers. She normally laughs and smiles and babbles all day long, but when we put her on the table with the stranger (photographer), she gets this serious look on her face like, "hey, what's going on here?" She doesn't cry, or anything but it takes her a while to trust new people enough to grace them with one of her heart-melting smiles.
We shot 9 poses of Emma, and 3 of us all together. We chose a mix and match of the various poses for prints, and bought the option to be able to download all of the proofs later on, so we can post them here. Keep your eyes peeled.
