5 Months! (stats to follow)

Goodness, it has been a week already since Emerson turned 5 months old. Call me a bad mommy if you like, but its kinda nice to have her at the stage where a month can fly by. I remember in the beginning, I was counting down the days ‘till the next appointment.

These photos were taken last Friday night (on time, thank you!)

A few notes about Emerson at this stage.

- We are fully engrossed in solid foods these days; three meals a day. Her favorites are apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, and we can not feed her mangoes fast enough. Further down on the charts are green beans and cauliflower.

- She is sitting up, unsupported now, although she can loose her balance with Wrigley walks by.

- Emerson and Wrigley are best buds. Wrigley enjoys licking (read: kissing) Emerson, and Emerson loves touching Wrigley. I think she likes the texture of her fur. They are really good with each other, even when E decides to try and grab a chunk of W’s skin/ear… Wrigley only whimpers a little bit. Its kinda cute.

- Emerson is sleeping like a champ, which makes mommy and daddy very happy. She now goes to bed right away without crying. I almost put “without a peep” here, but she almost ALWAYS ‘talks’ to her toys; so fun to creep on the monitor and listen.

- Speaking of ‘talking’ this little one is pure GIRL and loves to make noises. I’m so curious when she will start stinging them together to make recognizable sounds, I can’t wait.

- Emerson loves to “get your nose”. This entails opening her mouth as wide as she can, and dive bombing your nose. It’s a funny game and always makes us giggle.

- Both her dimples are really starting to surface from deep within all her baby fat cheeks. Consider yourself warned because she can melt you with a dose of the double dimples.

- She took her first swing ride last weekend. As this is a spoiler, as due to my poor diligence at posting, this happened after the 21st.

- Another spoiler, she is now rolling over both directions… what will happen in the next 4 weeks?!?!?
