I See You See Me!

Emmeline loves to play with this "top" her Grandma Pam got her for Christmas...

She sits and holds onto it and loves to chew on the handle, and we push the top together and watch the ladybugs and butterflys spin! Everyminute is so much fun!

My Mommy & Me

Today Emmeline & I went to our first Mommy & Me class, it was so much fun. I think she is the youngest one there (and the cutest, I'm really partial :)... we are both really excited to get to know the mommies and babies that are in the class! Plus the teacher is terrific, her name is Mrs. Kim! The class is offered through the adult school system here in the San Fernando Valley!

5 Months Cute

I can't believe it... it seems like only yesterday...

Emmeline is now 5 months old and is doing so much! She has started eating "solid" food, first rice cereal and is now eating oatmeal (she liked that one better) once a day. She has also started scooting a little and is working on rolling over (she did it once, almost!). We are having the best time with her! When we go into her room to get her from her nap she smiles from ear to ear, it is the best feeling ever! Emmeline is also learning how to read with "your baby can read" and is learning baby sign language! She is a busy little girl, who is so loved by us and all of you! We are also very blessed that both of Emmeline's grandma's are so close and come to visit often.

Over Christmas Emmeline was baby Jesus in our church's Back to Bethlehem, and daddy & mommy were Mary & Joseph, below is a clip (just remember we are not actors, as you will be able to tell : ). Emmeline also had a great time with all of her cousins, aunts, and uncles over Christmas! She went bowling and went swimming for the first time in Grandma Pam's & Grandpa Fred's heated saline pool!

Someone came up to me resently and said "Life is good when there is a baby", that is so true!
