Emmalee had a check up just this past week. She is getting so big! She has already more than doubled her birth weight. She was born weighing only 7lbs. 8oz. Well, her current weight is 17lbs. 12oz. and she is only 25 1/2 in. long. She is only 5 months old, so she is on the rather big side. She is cute as a button though, and always smiling.
Yesterday on 7/13/2008 she rolled over for the first time. I laid her down on her little activity mat on her back so she could look up at her toys. Next thing we knew she was on her stomach. It was so cute.
It is so funny how these silly little things mean so much and it is so exciting when they can do thing like roll over, smile, walk, or even talk. Then once we realize how much easier it was when they were just a sleeping little baby and they didn't get into EVERYTHING, we (I) wish that they didn't grow up so fast. It would be a lot easier to protect them from the scary things out there in the world if they all just stayed babies. I guess though we all get our chance to choose what kind of person we all want to be in life. The best we can do as parents is to teach our children everything that we can so that when they do go out into the world they have the knowledge to make the right choices.
Oh yeah, the outfit that Emmalee is wearing in the picture is 6-9 months. It barely fit her. I had to jiggle her butt to get the capris on her. She did look super cute in it though.
