5 MONTHS!

Emri adds so much to our family! She has the funniest little personality and knows just what to do to make our hearts melt! We took a few pics before going to the pool on her 5 month birthday (I obviously couldn't pick my favorite, so there's a few)!
She took this one herself!



Some of Emri's traits and quirks at 5 months:
  • She's not too camera shy anymore and will smile at just about anything (she's even comfortable being photographed in her swimsuit)!
  • She's always doing little crunches while she lays on her back....her tummy is getting strong
  • She found her toes and her legs are always in the air now as soon as she's on her back (thanks to the crunches)
  • She rolled over yesterday...from back to front! It was while Brett was at school, and of course she only did it once!
  • She loves to spit! This is what I hear through the monitor in the morning and I know she's awake!
  • She has a silly squeak for a laugh
  • She loves to lay in her stroller and relax with her feet up on the bar. She also grabs at toys with her toes (Brett says she gets it from me because I'm always picking stuff up with my toes)!
  • She loves her new reflux medicine tablet....thank goodness
  • She likes to pull herself up while you hold her hands to sitting, then standing position....those knees sure lock tight
  • Sleeps 10-11 hours at night
  • Her favorite toy is her chain links
  • Sounds ravenous when she eats or sucks her binky as of last week....
  • EVERYTHING goes in her mouth....except her rice cereal!
For family night we decided to celebrate Emri turning 5 months at one of the classiest places around.....
The FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR!!!! ha ha
We at fair food (corndogs, gyros, elephant ear scones)....yummy!
Watched big kids go on rides.....
Walked through the petting zoo....
And hung out at the motocross arena (then went home and sterilized ourselves and everything we took)! I really do love the fair, even if it's just to people watch!
Uncle Kade was in town working for a couple days and got to stay with us.
Just a couple random pics of the little monster!
As we were headed out the door one day I asked Brett to grab her burp cloth and put her headband on....this is his translation of the task! E thought he was pretty funny too!

How cute is Emri Jame?!?! She is getting SO big and looking SO cute! I like babies when they get older and are more aware of things going on around them-Emri has the cutest chubby smile!!!

Love your life!!!

WOW! IS E the cutest or what!? SHe is so smiley in her pictures. She already has so much personality! I LOVE HER!!!

I'm so proud of her for rolling over. I really don't understand how that works! I keep trying to get Parker to roll over...I don't see how it is ever going to happen. I'm sure it will probably happen when I leave him on his changing table or something.

I loved how you said that you had to wash everything after you got home from the fair! Totally something I would do! I probably would have had an anxiety attack while I was there. ha ha You are always out doing fun things! Little E is growing up so fast! How much do you think she weighs now?

Oh she is so cute!! Love the last pic :) 10-11 hours girl, how do you do that?! Seriously, she was doing really good, like 10 hours, and now she's waking up once in the night :( Maybe since she's all of a sudden super active she just doesn't want to go to bed, hehe.. Anywho, loved this post! Super cute!
