Today, Emma and I put some Christmas music on, got out all the gifts and wrapping supplies, and started to wrap presents. Emma was very insistent on helping. She liked the red wrapping paper the best and was very upset when I told her she couldn't eat it (this kid won't eat peas or sweet potatoes...but loves paper?!?). At one point, she thought she was old enough to cut the paper by herself and reached for the scissors while I was cutting. (That was fun.) She didn't seem to understand that we were wrapping the presents...not unwrapping them. (So if anyone gets a gift that has crinkily paper...that's one that Emma helped with!)
We've been trying to show Emma how to crawl for a couple weeks now. She will lean so far forward when reaching for a toy that her bum comes off the ground, but she quickly gets scared and sits right back down. Today however, it's possible that Emma took her very first half-crawl. She leaned forward fully on her hands and knees and moved forward a fraction of an inch to be able to reach a gift I was putting in a box! It was super cute!

I can't believe she might be crawling before you guys fly! Fun to hear about the memories you're making with your baby during her first Christmas season!
