Hope everyone had a great 4th of July

Sorry I haven't written lately I have just been busy keeping up with Emma. She is not crawling but she is scooting around. She is getting good at it too. She can get from one side of the room to the other at no time at all. She is also talking up a storm these days. Her favorite word is still dada but she is saying mama a lot more these days. She also has learned to say hi, no, woof, and baba (thats what we call her bottle).
We have been enjoying the summer by going to the pool a lot. Its been so much fun for the both of us to socialize with other people. We usually meet our friends Colleen and Aubrey. Emma and Aubrey don't really know what to think of each other but its so cute to see them together. They are not good at sharing. We usually bring toys for the kids to play with but they want what the other one has and will try hard to take it. I hope she gets out of that habit.
We had a great July 4th. We went to Tuscola which is about 20 minutes from our home and played with farm animals, ate things that are very bad for us and watch some fireworks. Emma was not at all interested in the fireworks. I guess that is better than her crying during them. We had such an exhausting day that we came straight home and all went to sleep (including me). I look forward to taking her next year when she really will appreciate them. I hope you all had a great july 4th.
