Emily is 5 Months Old

IMG_8239 

…And is cute as a button, and much more fun than a button. 

She has fallen in love with froggy, her lovey. 

She is a pacifier fan, but not an addict.

She loves real food and has already eagerly eaten egg, pancake, chicken, potato, in addition to baby food.

She rolls, pivots and thumps and moves herself a couple feet in any direction.

She likes being on her tummy now. 

She loves to gnaw on her daddy’s fingers. 

She often has a monster nap of about 3 hours in addition to one or two smaller naps a day. 

She is definitely opinionated on who holds her.  She screams till she has a hard time catching her breath most of the time when someone other than Austin or I hold her.

She jumps in the doorway jumper for ages at a time.  She jumped so much the other day she got a blister on her toe.

She loves imitating a pteradactyl, or what I imagine a pteradactyl would sound like if they hadn’t gone extinct before we could hear one (ie a piercing bird-like shriek).

She usually doesn’t eat at night… but never refuses if offered… and sometimes demands it if not topped off before I go to bed. 

She is flexible enough to drink a bottle of formula in the front pack, in the pool, naked but for a swim diaper.

She is always waiting for someone to smile at her, so she can smile back.
