Our precious baby Emily is now 5 months old! We've had several more developments this month. She is now eating cereal at least once a day with 2 tablespoons per feeding. When I first started it took forever just to get 1 tablespoon down, but now she gobbles up 2 tablespoons fairly quick. The doctor told me to work up to feeding her 2 T per feeding twice a day, but I rarely get two cereal feedings in. We are getting there though. She is getting so much stronger too. Rolling over is easier than ever and she never stays put on her back anymore. And now when she is on her tummy she really gets her legs kicking and can pull her knees up. I'm thinking that it wont be much longer before she figures out how to crawl. When I put a toy in front of her, just out of her reach, she really works to push forwards and she eventually gets the toy every now and then. She will also roll over and over to reach a toy, which is really funny to watch. The newest development is sitting up unsupported. It is now her favorite position. She started out just doing the tripod, but a couple of weeks later she was pushing herself up and balancing on her own for short periods of time. Now she is sitting up and holding toys on her own. I still have to be close by to serve as a bumper, but she is getting the hang of it! This month was Emily's first over night trip and everything went well. Ben and I had a great time at the wedding in Dallas, but I was ready to see my little baby girl when we got home. Emily did great at my parents house and did not appear to be bothered at all by our absence. She gets constant attention from Mimi and Granddad, so it is a treat for Emily. We also had our first trip to the farm with Emily as you can see in the pictures. She was especially interested in the trees. My mom and dad took her on lots of nature walks and she loved it! Emily also attended her first birthday party this month. She was sad she couldn't have any cupcakes, but it won't be much longer before she can! [nggallery id=23]
