The Eystad Fam!: A Maze'n!

Our life is always eventful in the summertime, but I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world (the hobbies--maybe but not the people :) Friday we bummed around the house and then Saturday we went racing. The last few days Emma has been in such a great mood that we decided to bring her and she did not dissapoint! It was her second time at the races and the weather was much more favorable this time. Emma hung out on a blanket in the trailer. She played with toys and ate supper/snacks. She got sleepy but I was trying to keep her up for as long as possible so she would just crash. Well she did just that the race before Corey's feature. I put her in her carseat in the truck. She sat up and played with the buckle on her seat belt and then ended up falling asleep like that. I layed her back and turned on the truck to keep it a bit cool in there. Lucky for us we didn't have too long to wait, Corey wanted to watch the Mods after him but it all goes pretty fast at that point. Plus I knew she was out.

Sunday we went to the A Maze'n Farmyard in Eden Valley with Jen, James, and Avery Unger. It is a farm that you can pet animals, enjoy a pony ride, has a large slide, and a train ride (that literally takes you on a path to see nothing--very (un)interesting!). However, the weather was great and it was just fun to have Emma pet the rabits, the camel, horses, and so forth. We even got to feed them a bit..it was a good time.

Emma is on her 4th day without having a bottle (may even be longer but I realized it and started counting 4 days ago). She has had formula 1x the last 2 days. She eats a large breakfast- usually a formula/cereal (toddler cereal) mixture with yogurt and a piece of toast. Then she really hasn't been eating lunch so formula has been supplemented to get her to eat something then at night she eats a full lunch. We haven't tried milk yet but will be soon. She loves to drink out of her sippy cup--usually prefers juice or formula--but will also drink water almost the same. She doesn't crawl yet but she has been rolling over for the past week and a half. She rolls both ways but hasn't really used it to get to places. I know...a lot of babies roll over when they are like 4 months old..but Emma decided that she wasnt' ready until she was 10 months. She also loves to be on her feet and walk around the house. When we let go she falls instantly--still not sure how to balance her weight but we'll take it one day at a time.
