She's really doing it!!

Oh my, I don't even know where to start!!

Emily is quite the busy baby lately. She's now fully turning her head to check out things around the house, and when one of us walks into the room she'll search all over until she finally spots us. Yesterday we were out to dinner and just for fun I was holding a spoon in front of her face. And guess what?? She reached for it!! It was so exciting! Just to make sure it wasn't just a lucky grab, I was testing her again today, only to find that she's really reaching and grabbing for things! She reached for everything from my fingers to her little toys and teething rings. She was even able to bring a few things straight into her mouth!

Emily is also quite the little tough girl and can sit up with some help from us or her boppy. We practice baby sit-ups where we pull her into a sitting position, and sometimes we can pull her all the way to her feet. It's to the point now where she is very unhappy just laying flat on her back. She likes to be up so she can see the world. She's also really starting to enjoy watching the puppies and she'll sit staring at them for minutes at a time. (in baby time minutes can seem like forever!) She's also started noticing her feet, and I'm sure she'll be grabbing at them soon too.

It's so amazing how she's growing every day. It feels like there is something brand new about her every time I look at her!
