My first blog.... ever.

Hello, this is officially my first blog ever. I found this article in one of my Parenting magazines about this mom and how she blogs to keep in touch with family and friends, I thought, cool. Then my thought was, nobody will care what I am thinking, but they might care what is going on with Emma. So my blogs will be Emma centered. Well, if you don't care about what is going on with Emma, then your loss. I love the idea that I can type whatever I want and if you want to read it great, otherwise I am not forcing myself on you with an email, you know? You can visit at any time and see whats going on in my life. I love it. Plus, I have not been really good about writing in Emma's baby book, it takes so long to sit down and write really pretty. Anyways, I could type a few lines pretty quickly every few days and just let you know how everything is going. And I can keep this forever, with all her milestones typed here for everyone to see. How cool would it have been to have blogs from our parents. To know what they were thinking about us as babies and to know when I started doing cool things, like walking. I would have loved that, then I could have passed it on to my kids also. "Here is what I did as a baby."

Well, Emma is going to be 5 months old this Friday! I can't believe it. You know, I never believed anyone when they told me how quickly she will grow up. It seems like just yesterday when I delivered her. She is getting so big, she weighs about 17 pounds. It's so cute, she has this fat roll that goes all the way around her. Sometimes I don't think she will ever be able to sit up on her own because her fat gets in the way. She is so cute, of course I am sure I am biased, but I think she could take the Gerber baby spot. After looking at her picture I am sure you will agree. She started rolling over a few weeks ago. She has only done it three times. She rolls from front to back, I am sure it will be ages before she rolls the other way.

We started feeding her rice cereal two weeks ago. She hated it the first time, she thought I was poisoning her, see picture.But she has gotten better, she actually opens her mouth when the spoon comes near her, instead of scrunching up her nose and turning away, big improvement.


She sleeps through out the night mostly. We put her down around 10pm after bath and feeding and she will sleep until 5-7am. Hey, I am not complaining. Although, she did wake up at 4 am today, I think she is going through a growth spurt. After her morning feeding she will go back to sleep until 9-11am, that part is great! We are training her well. She smiles all the time now, and laughs. I don't think I have heard anything sweeter than my own baby laughing. I try to get her to laugh all the time. Blowing in her face and tickling under her arms seems to work really well now. It changes every day though.

Well, being that it is midnight and I get up for the first feeding, I better go to bed. I hope that you have a great week. I will be having a great week with Emma.
