Rock and Roll

Emma likes to bring things to her mouth so we gave her a baby washcloth which she can grab easily and bring to her mouth easily.

Carlos, a co-worker during college at the library, came to GF for a visit.

Emma on her ocean gym with her cutie patootie bibs. Made me think of Auntie Jill when she wore bibs when she was pregnant.

Still prefers to sleep all cuddled up to Mommy or, in this case, Daddy.

Waking up in her crib.

Emma has rolled from belly to back twice this week. Once when I laid her on her floor ocean gym. Another was in her crib during the night. She didn't like that too much! Her arms were flailing, crying, etc. That is why she sleeps on her belly-no flailing arms. She has slept in her bed for the night (waking up some, of course) about 4-5 nights now. She's doing great. She just doesn't like to go to bed and stay in bed very early. That will come. She naps well and she does well during the night once it is about 11-11:30 or so. I keep thinking we will miss this time of her being a baby so I'm trying to be patient (doesn't always work).

Here she is after she rolled over that one time so I tried to capture the next one. She never did it again and kept doing this...

She is growing so fast. We tried to weigh her last night (Sat.) but she was wiggling and happened to pee on the scale. It registered close to 15.5 lbs. But we are not real sure. She grows out of her clothes pretty quickly.

We quit using the cloth diapers. They were so big she was growing out of her clothes even faster than with disposables. They would leak often so we had to wash more clothes, bedding too. We had to take them apart, wash them, and put them back together so often. When she was sick for so long I just was getting a little too stressed out and gave up on the cloth diapers. So, if you know of anyone who likes to use the Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers, size medium, let me know.

Emma enjoys songs or nursery rhymes. She likes Itsy Bitsy Spider, This is the Day, Jesus Loves Me, Head and Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. She smiles a lot. She really looks at us when we laugh and at our lips when we talk.

She loves to "stand" on our laps. She looks so proud of herself. She is very strong...her legs, neck, arms, etc.

She's our cuddle bug.

Here she is laying on her ocean gym playing with the octopus.
