Happy Five Months Birthday, Emmie!

Emmie,

From Monthly Growing Photos

Each month we are so grateful the the Lord that you are such and joyful, pleasure, and content baby girl! We are LOVING having you in our lives. It has brought your daddy and I closer together. It is amazing to care for you and work for you each day.

Here are some of your newest accomplishments this month:
-you are now 15 lbs. 5 oz. and 25.5 inches long
-MOST IMPORTANT MILESTONE - you have TWO bottom teeth at 4 months old
-You played in the church nursery for the 1st time this month with Ms. Minnie and Miss Eva.
-We got you some sunglasses for you to wear in the car, at the pool, and at the beach
-Daddy starting playing with your bath toys with you. You LOVE them and bath time!
-You like to click your tongue and also make a fish smacking noise and clicking noise like Mommy and Daddy.
-We started trying to let you sleep on your tummy without your swaddle, but we resorted back to your swaddle since you still fit in it for now.
-You have been to the lake for Memorial Day, time with our Slidell friends, and also with our Sunday School class. You like the lake water and look so cool in your float. You took your first nap on the daybed on the porch at the lake. We were there at one point for 11 days!
-You helped Daddy to celebrate his 31st Birthday and also his 1st Father's Day!
-You consistently sleep all night on your own until at least 7:30a every morning.
-You always love to see yourself in the mirror when we stop for a second.
-You still strain your neck to see the tv if you hear it in the room.
-Your feet are ticklish.
-I have a new nickname for you when you squeel loud "sister!"
-You giggle every once in a while when we don't expect it. The first time you giggled was at the lake when Ben, your cousin, took a party kazoo and blew it in your face and you thought it was funny.
-You stared at your left hand for 30 min. while we were driving to Memphis this week. You think your hands are SO interesting.
-You are getting good at rolling on your side, but you don't make it all the way over yet.
-You like to chew on your paci like it is a toy. You are also good at putting it back in your mouth by yourself when you are sitting in your carseat.

I love you always and look forward to watching you grow even more next month!
Mommy
