Rolling rolling rolling!!!

Emma can now roll and roll and roll... no big deal! She likes to do this and reach all the toys she wants.

But she also likes to sit up (and play for any length of time) then DIVE forward and entertain the thought of crawling...until her legs slide back and she is stuck belly down again. And rolls rolls rolls!

She can also stand up against something, like a couch or your shoulder. This really tickles her.

The jumper is still fun, the high chair is groovy, the swing seat is nice especially if she is feeling quiet or ok with being licked by her dogs. Bouncy seats and the bumbo are ok for a few minutes at a time. She hates her car seat, as she always has.

New fun today was using the hiking backpack with the rain canopy. She ended up with a very red face on one side, I hope it was not a reaction to the fabric of the backpack. It was cold and raw, maybe it was just that.

If anyone is curious about what Emma-Lizzie has eaten so far here is the list: bananas, apple sauce, pear sauce, blueberries (in the applesauce), sweet potatoes, rice farina (she hated this and so I ate it all, I thought it was yummy and made it for breakfast for a few days). I made the pears sauce, my neighbor made her the applesauce. The bananas were stolen from Dada's bunch. The rest were Earth's Best organic. But at 77-99 cents a jar, we aren't too into commercial baby food!!!

Emma 5 months old

Give me a kiss Anuk!

Hi there...did you see where my doggie went???


This is my new book. I can't read, will you read it to me?

I like this book too...what do you mean it is upside down???

If I could only lift this tome into my mouth...I really need to chew on it.

First Library Visit for Emma! Gordon-Nash Library we love you!


Emma visited her first friendly library*. We got two books for easy reading, one book for many cozy nights of reading and two books for Daddy.

*We tried the Plymouth library first but the policies and librarian were not friendly. We found instead the FABULOUS Gordon-Nash library. It has the extra bonus of a nice lawn out front to enjoy the new books in. The librarians were friendly and very helpful.

A Foot in the Mouth is on the right in photo. The poems are really fun to read and the illustrations are eye catching. I am seriously considering buying this book, even though it has no sled dogs in it.
Alex and Lulu is on the left. The story is subtle, sweet and perfect. The illustrations are pretty adorable. This book has a nice message and is well written. I loved it, I think this one is going on our wish list too.
