Emma's Obsessed with her hands!!



Emma is still obsessed with her hands. She always has them in her mouth. Even when she is eating she will stop eating to put her hands in her mouth. That is what she will be known for when she asks us what she was like when she was 3 months old.

She loves her activity mat and we have been putting her on it more. It has been a challenge since her head is flat and she can't be on the ground too long but we figured out two different solutions. One is we use the sleep positioner (now in her crib) on the mat to cushion her head or we will fold up a blanket and put her head under it. We can't put a pillow under her because she is so active with her feet she moves herself right off the pillow and bangs her head on the floor. Her new thing the past week or so is she puts both legs up in the air at a 90 degree angle and keeps them there for a bit - plays with the animals and then swings them down. It is very cute.

She is also starting (slowly) to grab some toys and play with them. This is a new development and I am sure we will start seeing more of this in the coming days/weeks. She likes to put them in her mouth to check them out.

Judy and Ed are in town - they have been here since Saturday evening. They have been spending a lot of time with Emma and she has been enjoying it. Ed has taken tons and tons of pictures which is great!! Emma has taken to Judy and she lets her hold her but she cries when Ed tries. She is kinda scared of him. But she is fascinated by him and stares at him and his camera all the time. The weather hasn't been great so we stayed inside all day on Sunday. Hopefully tomorrow - Tuesday will be nicer and we can go for a walk.
