My Valentine!

I'm so thankful that both Steve and I have jobs, but today is one of those days I just can't stand Steve's job. He doesn't get normal days off and basically we only get to see each other on Sundays. I'm pretty used to it, but some days it gets to me! Just like tonight...I had planned to cook a good dinner, garlic and peppercorn pork tenderloin, potatoes, green beans, rolls and chocolate chip and caramel cookies. I started the tenderloin and Steve called to say he got a call. I was so mad! Not at him, I know he didn't plan for someone to break the law! And, if you know me I don't cook very often and when I do I don't want to cook just for myself!

Anyway, the good news is I got to spend Valentine's Day with Emily and my Mom this year instead of by myself. We had lunch at Camille's and then went to the mall and TJ Maxx. Gymboree is having a HUGE sale and Emmy got lots of new cute clothes. Most were under $4.99!!

Here's some pics of Emmy in her Valentine's Day outfit.

Happy Valentine's Day!

5 Months Old!

Emily is 5 months today! I was talking to Steve the other day saying I wished time would stop. We were talking about how pure and innocent she is. If you think about it, every person on earth has done something wrong in their life (lied, cheated, impure though, stole, etc) no matter how perfect they may think they are or appear to be. Except for babies!! They've never done anything bad in their whole life. I love the thought of that!

For the past week she has been sleeping a lot. She's like her Mommy in that she likes her sleep! I think she's having a growing spurt!

Likes
All foods so far (veggies, fruits and rice cereal)
Her playmat, jumparoo, swing and bouncy seat
Sucking her left thumb (still mixed feelings about this)
Her blankie, she has to have something in right hand to put over her face when she goes to sleep
Laughing
Smiling

Dislikes
She doesn't like to be left alone in a room if she's awake. Likes to be the center of attention!
Doesn't like the dark (found that out when we lost power during the ice storm)
Doesn't like loud noises. She is very jumpy and gets scared easily!

All in all she is a really happy and content baby...so far! :)

Oh yeah, and we're pretty sure she is teething. Notice she is chewing on her fingers in a lot of the recent pictures. Everything goes in that girl's mouth!

Naked Baby!

Emily had just taken a bath...look that that hair!

Little Monkey!

Emily loves her feet! This was not staged, she was really doing this. I love my little monkey!!

I Love My Daddy!

I came home from work on Tuesday and Steve had laid out 3 sleepers he bought Emily at Target. They are so cute! Here she is in one of them. What a good Daddy!

Look at my big girl sitting up!!

Rollover!

Emily has been rolling over for a while now from her stomach to her back, but I've never caught it on video until today. She has rolled over from her back to her stomach, but not as often.
