Cousins

We traveled to Jasper over the weekend for my cousin Janelle's wedding and to take the Baptism class at Celestine. We have not set a date to get Emma baptised yet. Barbara was home for the wedding as well so we had some time to play with Aubrey and the girls had some time to spend together. Aubrey was a lot better with Emma this time then she was last time. When we tried to take pictures of the two of them last time Aubrey kept trying to roll on top of Emma.




Along with seeing Aubrey I was able to meet Avari, Gwen Boeglin's little girl, for the first time and some of the cousins were able to see Emma for the first time at Janelle's wedding. Avari is around a month younger then Emma. If you cannot tell which one is Emma she is on the right.

The only other thing that happened over the weekend was that Emma got a new toy. Mom was able to find her a bouncer to stand and play in at a yard sale and she really seam to like it. What I like the most about it is that it collapses really nice so we would be able to take it back and forth when we go to visit.

Make sure to check out the other posting from today to see our Father's day project.

Father's day project

Not much has been going on around our house lately. Emma is doing great and getting bigger every day. It is hard to believe how quick she is changing. Emma has now found her feet and likes to grab hold of them.
Also she is now rolling over from her front to her back and from her back to her front. I know that I had posted a video of her rolling over several weeks ago but after I took that video she stopped. This week the babysitter said she started rolling over quite a bit and we have noticed her doing it at home also. She likes to roll over onto her stomach and then after a while she will fuss until we put her back onto her back. Then of course she just rolls right back onto her stomach. It must be a game for her.

Last weekend was Father's day and Drew and I decided to do an arts and crafts projects for not only him but our Dads. We took the iron on appliques and put on the shirts, "My daughter walks all over me" for Drew,"My grand-daughter walks all over me" for Vince, and "My grand-daughers walk all over me" for Joe. Then we took Emma's feet and painted them with fabric paint and put foot prints all over the shirts. For dad's shirt we also did Aubrey's foot prints. All of the dads loved their shirts. Also for Drew I made a shirt that has a large hand with a baby's hand holding on to it and the shirt says "Wraped around Her little fingers".

Cereal and 4 Months (Added Pictures)

Emma turned 4 months old on Monday. She had her Dr. apt on Monday as well and was not happy about having to get more shots. As much as she was screaming you would think something really horrible was going on and I'm sure she though it was. Unfortunately at the time she was getting tired and she was hungry. She is now 25 1/2 in long and weighs 13 lbs 4.2 oz. This is a gain of a little over 2 lbs and 2 inches since her 2 month apt. She will go back to the Doctor again at 6 months.

Also we started Emma on cereal Friday night. It has taken us a little bit to get used to but she has been doing better every night. Slowly she is figure out that she needs to open her mouth and not try to suck the food. The last couple of nights she has eaten the tablespoon that I made for her with ease. Thankfully she has not gotten constipated as I was warned might happen. Her doctor told us that we can give her oatmeal in a couple of weeks and then start her on fruits and vegetables when she is 5 months.


I was trying to get a really nice picture with her bear but she would not stop trying to eat it.

4 Months Old

It is kind of hard to see with the picture being small but she has cereal all over her chin and bib.

Rolling Over

Emma started to roll over on Tuesday and I was able to get this video clip of her doing it. She rolls over from her back to her belly without any problem for the most part. She still has a lot of trouble rolling from her belly to her back though and she does not like being on her belly much so after a little bit she really starts to fuss. I think she has gotten from her belly to her back once in the last couple of days. Before to long she will be rolling all over the place.

Also we are going to start Emma on cereal tonight and she will be turning 4 months old on Monday, where did the time go. Emma's 4 month dr. appointment will be on Monday. Keep your eyes open for pictures of her eating cereal and an update on how big she is getting.
