My New Trick, originally uploaded by Robby Edwards.

Emily has learned a new trick. She can roll on to her tummy, though she hasn’t figured out how to roll back on to her backside. She doesn’t like being on her tummy for too long, so she gets crabby, once she realizes the pickle she’s gotten herself into.

Rachelle took this photo while Emily was demonstrating her new trick and was still pleased with her accomplishment.

(4 months) Robby and I haven’t been camping since I first found out that I was pregnant. I really wanted to go, but was a little intimidated to go with Emily. The Smiths and Parkers were also interested in camping, so we all planned a trip together. Having others around took a lot of the stress off. We all had a wonderful trip. God was good and brought the rain early and we were able to camp in dryness. We hiked out to Benton Falls with Emily riding in her front pack. Before we got back to the camp she had fallen asleep. Emily loves to be outside listening to the sounds of nature, so she didn’t mind the different noises.

(4 months) Emily was sitting next to me in her stroller at Dollywood and I looked over and saw her playing with her feet. It was a new fun discovery. Her little fingers met her little toes and made a game of it. Who knew that your own feet could be the coolest toys? The car seat keeps her wrapped close so she didn’t have to go too far to find her feet.

(4 months) Mommy took me to Dollywood to play with Granddaddy and Grammy. I couldn’t ride many rides yet. It was a good trip for Mommy to learn how to travel with me. I think Mommy ate well and enjoyed shopping.

Maybe rides on my next trip.

Look! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Superbaby!

Emily squeals and giggles with delight when I lift her up. It is our favorite game to play together.
