fourth of july

We had a nice holiday over the weekend spent with my family in Helena. Sam was there playing baseball. I love watching baseball, especially with such great weather. While in Helena, we went to an indoor carousel. It was beautiful. Emma got her first ride on a carousel! She seemed a little freaked out by the various animals (including otters!) moving up and down, but was very content to sit on the bench both with me and Aunt Maddie, who I think is one of Emma's favorite people. It's hilarious to hear her squeal with delight when she sees Maddie. Here's some pictures from the game and at the carousel.

Emma eating pretzels at the ball game. She wasn't actually eating the pretzels but rather sucking the salt off and putting the rest down. We didn't discover this until someone grabbed a soggy pretzel!

Over the weekend Emma also took her first steps! Although she's definitely not a full fledged walker yet, I am excited she's conquered this milestone. And even before her 15th month (barely) which was the 7th. We go for her 15th month checkup later this afternoon. I'm anxious to see what her measurements are and what her new physician thinks about her development. I'll report later. Enjoy the videos of the wobbling girl!
