Emmy is almost 5 months old in only 5 days! I can't even believe it. I haven't posted in forever because of school ending and having finals, so I'm gonna start from the beginning of July, but there won't be pictures because I'm feeling lazy--and it takes forever to transfer the pictures from my phone then load them here. Maybe I will edit later and add them!
Logan came home before the 4th so we could do something fun. We decided that Emmy probably would really hate the noise from the fireworks, especially because she has a bed time routine that if you get off of it even just the littlest bit she is a very unhappy baby. Every night between 8 and 9 she decides it is time to get ready for bed and gets fussy. She knows it is time for her bath! And she LOVES her bath time! She is also an angel and sleeps alllll night long, wakes up to eat around 7, then sleeps a little more with me :)
Anyways, on the 4th we went to the Westin, which is a hotel in Atlanta overlooking Centennial Park. One whole side of your room is a window, so we had a perfect view of the fireworks! We went early in the day to check in, then walked around Atlanta a little by our hotel. We ordered Hard Rock Cafe to go and Logan walked to pick it up--and it was FANTASTIC! Sooo yummy. Then we waited for the fireworks, watched TV, napped, gave Emmy a bath, then it was time for the fireworks! She stayed up for all of them. It was a great time.
The next day, Kevin, Lori, & Grandpa and Grandma Gray came to Georgia! We got to show them my home town/where Logan served and hang out. So happy they got to stop by on their way to North Carolina!
That weekend we got the opportunity to go to a hotel for FREE! So, we went to Chattanooga since it is fairly close and somewhere we have only driven through. We went on a river boat for dinner, and it was a once in a lifetime experience--meaning I will probably never want to or care to do it again. The river was pretty, but after the boat blew its horn within the first five seconds of going, Emmy was a very, very sad baby. She hates loud noises. But it was a very nice and relaxing one night stay in Chattanooga.
Also this month, I finished my fifth semester with good grades! I was so so happy to get that over with. I am now over half way through with school!
Random facts about Emmy Lou:
July was also the first month that Emmy got to go in the pool from her waist down! She seemed to enjoy it, but only if the sun wasn't in her eyes!
Emmy loves books. But she has a favorite and gets super excited if that book comes out.
Emmy also is obsessed with Micky Mouse Clubhouse. The theme song comes on and she just smiles. She hates car rides, but I have set up my iPad so that she can watch her show while she rides, and she stays quiet!
Emmy learned to ROLL OVER!!!!! I seriously thought the day would never come. She hated being on her belly unless it was to sleep on someone, and would just fuss if she was on her belly. However, she figured out she can get off her belly if she wants! So now tummy time is definitely mostly nonexistent because she will roll over almost instantly. I imagine she will never roll from her back to belly now.
She is a total screamer. When she plays she just screams and screams.
If there are loud noises, repeatedly, or just loud and scares her, she gets really really sad and cries. If someone talks to her that she doesn't want to talk to her--she cries! Pretty much, don't bother her. And if she doesn't like you, you will know!
She started foods! She hates the rice, but will eat oatmeal if it is mixed with something else. So far she has had, and seems to like: squash, sweet potatoes, and green beans.
She knows when it is close to bed time and will not let you forget it. She has her bath (which she loves) then a bottle, and goes to sleep! Usually around 9. Then she sleeps until 6 or 7. It is awesome!
Pretty much she is the perfect baby. (haha) And we love her to pieces.
