Waving At You, originally uploaded by Robby Edwards.

Emily waves all the time now. She waves hello and goodbye, and also waves at people to get their attention.

Emily is pleased to announce that she will become a big sister this October. Actually, she has no idea what is coming, but I think she will adjust to the change just fine. Emily is quite independent and enjoys playing by herself. We have started practicing ‘gentle’ with her so that she can have a head start on the idea.

Emily loves the feeling of wind on her face. We spent a little while at the park and she loved the freedom of walking anywhere she wanted, but swinging is what she really loved.

(5 months) Emily and I went to play with Caleb and Nathaniel at the park and I thought I would try Emily out on the kid swing to see how big she was. Well you can see it will be a little while until Emily is going to get to sit in the swing by herself. But it made a great picture!

(5 months) After playing in the pool and getting dry nothing is better than a nap. The rest of us got adult swim time while Emily took her nap. You know after my swim I don’t think I got my nap. I hope Emily enjoyed hers enough for the both of us.
