Tu-Tu You, America

Emmy had a great time wishing America Happy Birthday. Thanks for a great visit to Amelia Island Todd, Barbara and Britton!











Summer 2009

It’s been a busy summer around the Webb house, and Emmy has been taking the craziness in stride! She’s now talking up a storm, even if we can’t understand 95% of her jabber. She says words such as hi, doggie (doga), flower (fwowa), bye, night night (ni ni), mommy (momma), daddy (dada), milk (mi), etc.

She kisses us now with pursed lips and an “mmmm” sound, rather than the sloppy open mouthed ones she used to bless us with. She runs - not walks - everywhere, has become very cuddly in the evenings, and often times won’t allow us to put her down. Separation anxiety has hit full force. We can’t even think about leaving the room for a moment, or put her down to walk before 9am. And leaving her at Wieuca Day School in the mornings is often a challenge, both physically (she has to be peeled off of me) and emotionally (just breaks my heart).

We’ve also started brushing our teeth, although mommy needs to make a better habit of it day and night. It’s more of a teether for those gigantic teeth that are still coming into the back of Em’s mouth. Once she starts brushing I have to battle to get the thing away from her.

Mommy and Daddy left for their first trip over 2 days together, without the bug. We traveled to Laguna Beach with friends – Kyle, Willis, Heather and Spencer. It was rough, but we got some much-needed time together. Shug thankfully took on the duties of watching her granddaughter, and although she was exhausted when we got home, I was informed Shug was already having Emmy-withdrawals. Thanks Shug for keeping such good watch over the Em-ster!
