Happy Fall, Ya'll!

Thanks for my gigantic pumpkin, Grom and Poppa!

5 months old

Okay, so I'm a little late on this one. Emily turned 5 months old on Sept. 7. She is almost 16 pounds now, rolling from her back to her belly (all the time!) and is eating any type of baby food you put in front of her. Sweet potatoes are a favorite, bananas not so much. She loves peas and green beans too. No crawling yet. Derek says she doesn't have enough traction yet. She laughs and smiles all the time and is much more observant of what's going on around her. She's doing very well at daycare and is sleeping through the night nearly every night. Only problem is she is up with the chickens between 4:00 and 6:00am every single morning.

Don't try it, young lady...

...wait a minute...

Hey! I'm trying to take your picture!

Grab it!

Now that Emily is reaching and grabbing for things, we noticed during last night's bath that she was reaching for the water when we rinsed her off. She just can't understand why she can't hold onto the water!

Vacation

Most of you have seen these pictures, but I wanted to post a couple of our favorites from our vacation to Park City, Utah. The original plan was to go to Orlando, but not knowing what Hurricane Ike was going to do, we decided to head west to the mountains. The Winter Olympic museum was really neat and the weather gorgeous! We had a great time despite Emily's ear infections and Derek's cold. Can't wait for winter now!!

She's a maniac, MANIAC on the floor!

Emily is sporting her legwarmers a la Flashdance. I LOVE THESE!!!

I'm 5 months old....ohhhhmmmmm

New Toy

Looks like Mommy is more interested in Cookie Monster than Emily is!

What? I can't hear you!

Geaux Tigers!!!

We wish Daddy would have been home, but Emily got to watch her first LSU game this past Saturday. Geaux Tigers!!!
