Well, Emersen's getting a tooth! We felt it for the first time today. The water works have increased. You can't really see anything but can feel a little something for sure. Glad it hasn't really been bothering her. And she's not interested in a teething ring either.

Aww, my big little girl. We have our 6 month appointment towards the end of this month. Can't wait to check her stats again. We went shopping this weekend and bought some clothes - in 9 month size. She has a little room to grow fortunately. This was only like the 2nd time I've actually bought her clothes since she was born. Others have given us clothes and we have many hand me downs. It was fun to pick out things myself!

Wes and I were talking today about how obsessed we are with Em. I was telling him how cute I think she is, how much I love her, and how I just want to eat her up...but that then I wouldn't be able to squeeze her up. This is the extent of mush that I'm sharing with you because it's awkward to be part of someone else's mushing and gushing.

the end.

I don't want to create a self-fulfilling prophecy for Emersen, but seriously? How does she do this? And why can't she undo this?

In this case, she actually went BACK TO SLEEP. Usually, this positioning causes her to cry/squawk because she thinks she's stuck. However, if she sticks her limbs out on the other side, she can remove them. I've seen her do it on the video monitor!

She is awake now because I went in to her room, left to get the camera, and came back. But she didn't even start wiggling or anything, just laid there.

Here, I think she might be thinking "Help me, help me, I'm stuck. Why are you taking my picture lady? I'm stuck." But it's just a guess.

This child is outrageous, hilarious and ridiculous on a regular basis. I do think Wes would say to this "she takes after her mom." Whatever. We just add excitement to his life and our own. I can only imagine what our years hold if she's this active now. I mean, she changes directions, positions, etc throughout naps and sleeping. She ends up down in one corner in the blind spot of the video monitor. The other day I looked up and no baby in the crib according to the monitor.

Oh geez. I just love her.
