Fun Times Around the House

Not a whole lot of exciting news to report, but we do have some cute pictues to share.  Emma did have another eye exam last week for her 6-month adjusted age check-up, and everything still looks great!  Hard to believe there are no long-term effects from her prematurity. 

Emma has been using her mesh feeder lately, which is really just what it sounds like: a piece of mesh netting attached to a plastic ring, and you can put fresh fruit or anything you want in there for her to chew on without having a choking risk.  She loves to chew on fresh fruit like grapes, plums, and bananas - yum!  


Emma is just the happiest baby on the block.  She is all smiles and squeals and we are so in love! 


She's working on moving around.  She can get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but we're not quite crawling yet.  Won't be long, I'm sure!  She has mastered the art of barrel-rolling across the floor though:



She loves hugging her books too. 


"Hugging my books?  Mom, please."


Emma is doing great feeding herself her puffs.  She hasn't mastered the pincer grasp yet, but at least most of the puffs wind up in her tummy and not on the floor! 


Uh, oh - watch out!  Play nice or she'll bop you in the nose!   


Just kidding!
