{Emma} Five Months

You love your puppies.

You blow raspberries.

Super baby!

You can sit independently for short spurts.

You love toes!

A little bit about you this month:
• You are the giggliest, happiest, smiliest baby!
• You usually take one long nap from 9am-11am then take short 40 minute naps for the rest of the day. If you don't sleep long in the morning, you short nap all day.
• You started blowing raspberries this month and think it's hilarious.
• You have a tiny dimple above your right lip.
• We traveled to Phoenix this month, and you were an awesome travel buddy. You met the Miyamoto clan and loved everyone.
• You also met Jack O'Farrell, Mommy's friend Rachel's son who is 12 days older than you. You held his hand!
• You can sit independently for short periods of time.
• But when you realize you're sitting, you fold forward and would rather eat your toes.
• During diaper changes, you like to suck on your toes. They apparently are very tasty.
• You are a roly poly barrel roller! You go from a sit to your tummy, back to tummy, tummy to back, and then back again.
• When you're on your tummy, you want to go forward so badly! You flail your arms and legs like a super baby, reaching and stretching forward, then you get mad that you didn't go anywhere.
• You are obsessed with toes, feet, and socks. If you can see them, you want to get them - cue said super baby reaching and flailing.
• You went to your first baseball games in Phoenix and fell asleep at both games we attended.
• Your favorite thing in the world this month is to bounce with your sister! If she starts bouncing in your line of vision, you start laughing uncontrollably and bounce with her, whether it's on our laps or in our arms, you jump and laugh with her until she stops.
• You really don't like having shirts pulled over your head.
• You love petting your puppies. Izzy gives you kisses and Reefie wants to lay down with you whenever you're on the floor.
• You are doing much better in the car on longer road trips - we went to Butte and Missoula this month and both trips were relatively easy.
• You save your biggest smiles for your Daddy and sister. You seem to enjoy our time alone, but you are always so excited when she gets home from school. You also start bouncing and smiling when you see your Daddy come home from work.
• You love to dance, watch Lily dance, or dance with me.
• You kick and coo when I sign and ask if you want milk.
• Your favorite toy is your singing blue octopus.
• Every time you fall asleep in your carseat, you are holding your Sophie the Giraffe.
• You are very empathetic and cry whenever you hear anyone else cry, especially if it's your sister.
• You grab our faces with your hands and try to eat our noses - your version of kisses, I like to think.
• You wrap your arms around my neck and nuzzle when you're sleepy - this is my favorite thing you are doing this month. You are the sweetest thing!
