Random Facts and Photos

Call me lazy, but I thought it might be fun to just give you some random updates on Emma’s adventures, along with some just-as-random photos. Enjoy!

Facts:

She is in the 50th percentile in her weight (18 lb, 5 oz) and supposedly off the chart in length (30 in), but I think they measured wrong. My guess is she’s more like 29 in.

She is currently eating peas (yes, again) and seems to be doing okay.

She loves to feed herself. So far, we’ve tried rice cakes, rice pasta, and brown rice. Wow…that’s a lot of rice, isn’t it?

She can hold her own bottle now, but only does during lunch. (Hey, if I can’t nurse her, I reserve the right to hold her for as long as I want…)

She loves to point with her pointer finger (that is, when she’s not chewing on it!)

Her fav toy of the month is her push toy thingy. She LOVES the fact that it helps her walk all by herself.

She tries really hard to imitate what you say, but all words seem to end up sounding like mmmmmmmmmom.

She lets you know when she’s hungry and even attempts to sign “bottle.” (I didn’t teach her to sign milk, because formula isn’t milk. I’m annoying that way.)

She yawns and rubs her eyes when she’s tired.

She is taking two long naps now and is sleeping well at night (but still wakes up before 6am…but I’ll take it!)

She clears her voice to get your attention if you ignore for too long (as in 10 seconds!)

She only gets her binkie during naps and at night (at least, on my clock…)

She gets all shy when she “meets” someone new, especially a male. She tilts her head into your shoulder and grins all cute like.

Her summer wardrobe is ridiculously large and fabulous, thanks to some very generous friends. (Hand-me-downs rock!) I can’t wait to play dress up!

She enjoys taking her medicine and gets all exicted when she sees it.

She is not afraid of the vacuum cleaner AT ALL and even lets me use it to scoot her along!

Okay, I could go on and on, but then what would I write next week? :o) So without further ado, here are the photos:

Rice cakes (or as Gram and Gramps B would say, Styrofoam cakes) YUMMMMMMMMM!

Weeeeeeeeee!

I’m Walking, Yes Sireeee!

Cabin-et Fever (Get it?? Okay, maybe I’m getting too much sleep now!)
