Growing Up Faster Than We Like!

So, as you can see from the title, Emma is growing up way too fast! So much has happened in the last month! She's crawling all over the place, getting into everything of course! She's pulling herself up ALL the time too! She was standing up at her musical toy by the TV today, reaching for whatever she can get her hands on! Then she crawled over and stood up at the coffee table for a while. Sunday night she started bear crawling--pushing up on her arms and straightening her legs and walking. She has a great desire to go everywhere, which tells me we are in BIG trouble! LOL! My prediction is that she'll be walking by Christmas, but I hope I'm very wrong about that! She continues to surprise us, so who knows! She has two teeth on the bottom, and I'm fairly certain she's working on some more given her stuffy nose, rashy face, and sleepless nights. We shall see!

We had our last meeting with Bethany before requesting finalization on the adoption. The paperwork was turned in for that, and we're set to finalize on November 8th! We are so excited to celebrate Emma's "Gotcha Day!" It still seems surreal that she's ours. She has changed our lives so drastically, and we love every moment! We can't imagine life without her!

We got to see her birth grandparents and sister last night for Halloween. They brought her a very nice bag full of treats, a book, and a new bib with wrist rattle. She loved it all, though I think we'll be enjoying her treats this year! Yum!

Life is good, though very busy. We are blessed and thankful for what God has given us. I hope that my delay in posting on here just means I'm enjoying every single moment with our baby girl. Our daughter. Our Emma!
