Autumn After the Rain

In Chinese we have a saying:"Autumn comes after the rain". It's certainly true for the past week. I was digging through Emily's fall clothes everyday. Emily is more and more independent each day. She can stand and play for a little while; She started to wave; and she can walk with a pushing toy now! We are so proud of her! Little girl is growing up so fast!


Since Emily's birthday will fall on the weekend after we come back from China, we will not have time to take her birthday pictures before then. We took her 10 months old pictures instead. We had her pictures taken during my lunch hour last Wednesday. So we didn't have much time. But Emily did great. The photographer said most babies don't make it through the whole session. Here is one autume themed picture of her:





Here is Emily walking with Daddy. She loves to walk and stop occasionally to look up at us with a sweet smile. Wish I could capture that:


Here's Emily enjoying her food:

"What's for dinner?"
