standing

August 11, 6pm, Emma stood up. And shes been doing it ever since. She first pulled herself up with the back of her bumbo, but likes to stand in her crib and showed off for Kris yesterday by standing up next to the coffee table. She really wants to be good at standing, now that she knows she can do it, and she gets really mad when she fails. She is also starting to show that she wants a certain person. Its cute when she crawls towards one of us to be picked up.

Tonight our family is headed to Oregon for my family reunion. We havent taken Emma on a long trip since she was three weeks old. unless you count McCall as a long trip then she was three months old. So tonight, we are doing ten hours in a car with, we pray, a sleeping baby. Monday when we drive back will be a whole different story.
