Lots Going On...

Hi Everybody!

I have had a big ten days! It started with mommy deciding to give me cereal...boy was that fun! I wasn't quite sure what to make of it and more of it got on my bib than in my mouth. I think I like it but my tongue does this silly thing where it pushes all the food out before mommy can get it in. The doctor says it is a reflex that goes away between 4 and 6 months. What's a reflex? Anyway...mommy put the cereal away for a couple of weeks and said we would try again later. Good thing...I hate being a mess!
So...since we put that task away for a while I decided to work on something else...rolling over! I spent about a week rolling onto my side but my arm always got in the way. I looked at it and said "move" (well, really it sounded like a frustrated grunt to mom and dad) but it just stayed there! Well, then last Tuesday, February 5th mom decided it was time for a nap...but I didn't think it was time...so I let her know. I threw the biggest fit I have ever thrown in 4 1/2 months. In fact, I got so mad I flipped myself over...which made me even more mad because I lost my paci and I was stuck on my belly. When mom came in to check on me she started cheering and hollering. I just looked at her and thought "what...you didn't know I could do this?"

In the middle of all of this rolling over, it was my daddy's birthday. We got him a grill. Ok...maybe mom got him the grill and I got him the grill cover. She wouldn't let me get the nice present...something about me needing to get a job...

On Thursday night my grammy came to see me from Atlanta. We had lots and lots of fun. I showed off for her lots and lots by rolling over, and over, and over, and over. In fact, it got to the point that as soon as you put me down...I rolled to my tummy. I just like to show off! I had lots of fun with my grammy...she spoiled me by rocking me to sleep, making goofy faces, and talking in some weird goofy language that she seems to think I can understand. I giver her a laugh for making the effort though.
On Sunday, it was my baby dedication. I just wish my other grammy, Grandmas, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends could have been there as well. I had the most beautiful outfit on in the world. My Great Grandma gave it to me...it was handmade and I loved it. My mommy loved it even more. I don't think my daddy was too thrilled with it cause he kept saying I looked like the Grand Puba of the KKK.
Anyway...the service was nice and later that day we went out for celebration with grammy, Mr. David, Miss Molly and my BFF Paige to Buca Di Beppo. There was a lot of food and you would think they would give me a taste since the celebration was for me but I got jipped! Oh well...at least we had fun.
Well, Valentine's Day is Thursday and I haven't decided if I am going to ask my boyfriend Trey or my daddy to be my Valentine. It is a tough call!
Well, that is all for now. I hope all of you are doing well and that I get to see you soon. I miss you all and love you!
Love, Emmi
