Here is what Emma was up to during the month of June.
The first Friday in June was my last day of school/work for the year! We started off summer break by celebrating Rachel's birthday with Sunday brunch.
I got really sick and passed out for a minute. Not sure if it was the Texas heat or what but I was down for pretty much the rest of the day.
The next week we didn't do much, just hung out and played. It was so nice not having to get up super early to get ready and then get Emma ready and then to daycare and work.
She loves her some whip cream and will even let me spray it in to her mouth from the can.

She loves to eat, so far her favorites are green beans, tator tot casserole and roast.
She really started exploring this month. Just crawling around everywhere by herself. She also started going through some major separation anxiety which have made car rides miserable. The only way she is happy in the car is if someone is in the back feeding her puffs or singing songs.
She has also started to try to climb things. It takes her awhile but she rarely gives up. She also loves to dance. Anytime there is anything that makes noise she is bouncing away.
She loves the water. While she prefers the big swimming pool she still has fun in our little kiddie pool.
She is still not a great napper. One day she takes great naps at a certain time and the next day she won't go down at similar times at all. It is driving me crazy. We did sleep train at the beginning of the month for night time sleep. We unfortunately had to use cry it out because she was throwing tantrums. No tears, just screaming and throwing herself around the crib. It took a couple of nights, but she is officially out of our bed and in her crib and she sleeps all night. Roughly 12 hours. It is so nice to feel rested again.
She got really good at walking with her elephant push toy.
She had her first play date with 2 little girls whose moms were in our birth class.
We also went to the lake for a few days so I could get my online professional development done for work.
One day we went to Target and when we were going to leave it started pouring so we sat in Starbucks and watched the rain.
We moved at the end of the month and the new house has laminate floors. She loved bouncing the balls and listening to the echos while it was empty.
She loves the new rug. She would crawl and then lay down and then crawl and then lay down over and over again.
We were shopping to get stuff for the new house and saw this Emma sized desk, Couldn't resist getting a picture of her with it.
Unfortunately our move was less than great. First the house wasn't ready when it was supposed to be. Then our movers couldn't move us on the day we had reserved because they had drivers not show up and we didn't find out until an hour before. So, we had to wait two more days and unpack boxes to get to stuff. Then we moved in and a bunch of stuff in the house wasn't working and we had sewer issues. All this is going on and Emma has full blown hand foot and mouth disease and an ear infection.
This is what she looked like on Friday when we realized what it was. The bumps showed up on Thursday,
This was on Saturday. We just did Tylenol every four hours, oatmeal baths and Calamine lotion every couple of hours and she seemed okay. She was a little fussy, but the Tylenol helped a lot.
Her lovely right ear draining the gross infected puss. It started yellow and turned brownish red after a couple of days.
So June started off great, but the end was rough. Hoping for a better July!
