Baby Food!

It has been a while since we have updated Emma's blog! She is doing very well - is sleeping through the night (most nights) - and is eating some solid food! We have given her the rice cereal and oatmeal, and have moved on to sweet potatoes, and tonight we tried peas for the first time! She really likes the sweet potatoes now, and did very well with the green peas. It is so funny to watch her try different flavors and textures! She is such a good girl - and is VERY happy and LOVES to smile :-) Enjoy some videos of her eating baby food! The first two are the first night that we fed her sweet potatoes (she did great first, then decided she didn't like them), and then eating green peas tonight! Also, here is a link of some photos of the past week or so! Enjoy!

Beach Weekend!

Emma is 5 months old now, and had a great, relaxing weekend in Daytona Beach! We sat on the shore and felt the waves crash over us, went swimming in the pool, and watched the cars drive by on the beach (which Emma LOVED to watch)! She is doing very well - is loving to roll over, is eating her rice cereal well, and is "talking" a ton! Enjoy some pictures of our week!

Rolling Over!!!

She finally did it!!! Emma rolled over for the first time last night! We got several videos - here is our favorite! She is so proud of herself! Enjoy...

Bumbo!

Emma has some new toys this week! She loves her new jumper seat and is getting used to sitting in her bumbo! She is still chattering away and is smiling and laughing all the time - especially to Daddy! She is starting to get on a routine during the day and night, and lets us know when she's ready for bed! Emma is also starting to like rice cereal - which she gets a small amount one to two times a day! Emma has also seemed to notice the animals this week - she LOVES to look at and touch Casey - and just laughs when he licks her feet! She is also watching the cats, and has pet Grey! Maybe she'll be a vet like Mommy!! She is just getting so big and growing so fast! Enjoy the videos and the link to some more photos below!

Talking up a Storm!

Emma had her 4 month doctor's appointment today! She is growing well! She weighed 15 lbs, 4.5 oz, and was 24 1/2 inches long. She is in the 80th percentile for weight and head circumference, and the 60th percentile for height! The doctor said that is good though and as soon as she gets mobile she'll thin out! She has also been talking up a storm - we think she's finding her voice! She will just squeal in delight at Mommy & Daddy! She is also laughing a lot - it is the cutest thing ever! She is now in her crib in her nursery and is sleeping pretty well - usually waking up just once a night to eat! She sleeps mostly on her side now too! Enjoy the video below of Emma "talking!"

Laughing with Daddy

Emma has been starting to laugh more and more - and this was just too cute! Enjoy!

July 4th - 17 Weeks Old!

Emma is now 17 weeks old - or finally 4 months !!! We traveled to North Carolina for July 4th for a great visit! Emma got to see MeMe and Grandpa Tom, as well as Uncle Bryan, and she got to meet our friends Amy, Seth, and their baby Lena! We had a blast!!! Enjoy pics of the trip from the link below - where Emma got to do a lot of firsts! Emma went out on a boat, swam in a lake, ate rice cereal (not a good idea yet...), and went on her first hike. She did pretty well on the drive up and back, but she was definitely ready to get out of her car seat and be home!!!
