March 2012 - 5 Months Old!

Happy Spring!  Emma has gone through quite the growth spurt during the month of March.  She now weighs 16.5 pounds and continues to grow taller.  Emma is rolling over and loves to stretch out on the floor to play. When we hold toys out in front of her she scoots towards them.  I think we will have a crawler on our hands soon! 

Emma has also really started paying close attention to the dogs this past month and reaches out to pet them.  The dogs are so patient with her and don't snap at her when she grabs hold of their fur a little too hard! It's only a matter of time before she'll be crawling around with them...

As far as feeding goes, Emma is now eating rice cereal, a vegetable and fruit every day.  Her favorites are sweet potatoes, apples and pears.  She's quite a good little eater and things haven't gotten too messy yet (knock on wood!!).  I think she takes after her Daddy with how neat and tidy she is!

During March Emma and Mommy had a week off for Spring break.  Her grandma and great grandma on Mommy's side came out to visit and we had a great time shopping, hanging out in the sunshine and playing.  At the end of the month her Grammy and Papa on Daddy's side came to visit and Emma got to spend Grammy's birthday with her!  Everyone had a fun weekend... Mommy and Daddy even got their first date night out while Grammy and Papa babysat. :)

We hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!  We will post pics of Emma on her first Easter next week.
