Emma went to the park for the 1st time on Monday this week. The weather was pretty nice, not too hot/cold, and finally clear skies instead of rain! I walked around with her to show her the different play areas and then we sat on the big swing together. After swinging together I put her in the baby swing and we played, took pictures, and enjoyed being outside.
Recently, Bo and I had our first trip together since having Emma over Spring Break. We went to Las Vegas for 3 nights. Emma stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, and she also visited with her Great Grandma (Gran) who drove in from Nachitoches, LA. Emma has such a loving family and Grandma and Grandpa definitely know how to give her the best love and care!! Emma went to lunch, shopping for clothes, and played-played-played! She came home with very cute Easter outfits and a crawfish outfit!! We survived our first trip without Emma, though it was hard and I was anxious to get back to her immediately.
Emma is eating baby food now!!! She has recently developed a liking for peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, and prunes. Just this past week she began moving her tongue around more. I think it helped her figure out how to move the food to the back of her throat to swallow. I feed her two small tastings of one veggie and one fruit (afternoon and evening). She still receives her normal milk serving about every 4 hours.
Here are some pictures that go along with the update. I will post her 5 month checkinup stats over the weekend!! Happy 5 months Emma!
