Saturday morning

  Rufflebutt

I have ruffles on my butt, and I'm a CUTIE!



Juice!

We went to the doctor this week, and Emily is a healthy girl. She weighs 15lbs., 7oz., and is a big 25" tall.



We went to a new doctor this time, Dr. Brown, and we liked him very much. Emily had a great time at the doctor's office - right up until the time the nurse gave her her shots! The first one scared her a little bit & made her cry, but the second one - well, that was just adding insult to injury. That's when her face got red and the cry became a scream. And then the nurse stuck her a third time - by then, she was just beyond expression. Our sweet little Emily was one furious baby!



But she quieted down soon enough once it was all over, and she's been pretty good since - a little fussier than normal the next day, but her little legs don't seem to be hurting much at all.



Dr. Brown said he doesn't recommend starting solid foods until six months (which is fine with me) but that she could have some juice, mixed with water. So we have juice now as an afternoon treat, and she loves it!

Speechifying



Toy Story

This is Emily's monkey.

Monkey_face

This is her favorite, favorite toy. He has a ring so he can hang on the handle of her carseat, but most of the time he sits in her saucer with her. She likes to chew on his nose (and his hands, and his butt...)

Monkey

When Grampa & Nana Jo were here to visit, they got to play with the monkey, too!

Get That Monkey!

Grampa was trying to help Emmie figure out which part of the monkey is the best to eat. She usually just settles for whichever one is closest to her mouth.



New Shoes

I told you we went shoe-shopping because Emily had outgrown her first little tennis shoes. Well, these are the shoes that her Dad picked out!

They're so cute, I had to buy her a new purple romper just to go with them! They may not be red peep-toe pumps (yet) but still, Priceless.



Figuring It Out

Not only is Emily big enough now to stand up in her saucer, but she's just about figured out how to make the toys work! (Some of them are more difficult than others.)


And Emily's Mama has finally figured out how to post videos to her website!



Babysitter!

Ken and I had a "date night" tonight, and Emily had her first
(non-family) babysitter, our friends' daughter Jordyn.
By all accounts, they had a terrific time!

Jordyn

We had a good time, too. We went to see the new Spiderman flick,
and then had Indian food for dinner - YUMM-O!



Gossiping Girls

Nana Jo came for a visit last weekend, and she and Emily had lots to talk about!



I didn't catch what they were saying, but it sure must've been interesting...
