5 Months & Canada Day!

It seems as though all I ever think to write about is Emerson. I have been hesitating at writing because really my life and our lives are not very exciting or I don't know if it is at all interesting to tell people about. We just putter along doing the same old things... But are the same old every day things exciting? 

Emerson is officially 5 months old as of Monday June 30. It seems like only yesterday she was born but at the same time it feels like so long ago. Emerson has definitely changed and grown so much. She is now over 20 lbs which puts her in the 99.9 percentile! Her doctor told me that is as high as they go they don't go to 100%. I forget how long/tall she is, if I could find my measuring tape I could tell you, but that too is in the 99.9 percentile. This makes my little girl quite a BIG girl. Being small did not last very long. Emmy is a sweetheart who will smile at anyone willing to make a silly face. She talks (squeaks, squeals and coos), laughs, chews on anything she can take to her mouth, stays sitting up like a little champ, and rolls over (only when she wants to get something). We spend our days playing, reading books, going for walks (when it's not raining), napping (Em does the napping), eating, cleaning (I do the cleaning) and getting really excited when Daddy/Jorden comes home from work! Lately Emerson loves to be sitting up or standing with the help of whoever is around; she hates laying down on her back for longer than 5 minutes (unless sleeping)

Yesterday was July 1, or as us northern dwellers call it, Canada Day! Jorden had the day off from work which is always a joy to me and I think for Emmy too, she loves her Daddy! We spent our day over at Grandma & Grandpas house with family and friends. It was such a beautiful day, warm and without wind, so we spent as much time as we could outside. I am so grateful for this land that we live in, we are so blessed to live in Canada. Happy Birthday Canada, and happy 5 months Emerson! 

Here are some pictures from our day.
