Who knew that toes tasted good?

Could Emmi have stumbled upon something huge? Could this feed the worlds hungry? Does this mean we can stop sending 7 cents a day to Sally Struthers? It appears as though you will not be hungry if you eat your feet!!! We have proof (sorry about the quality. it was taken with my blackberry):

5 Months old

Emmi turned 5 months on Friday or 22 weeks today. Time is flying by.

I have a virus which started out as what I thought was allergies. Stuffy head but then I started to loose my voice. So Friday I went to the doc just to make sure it wasnt a sinus infection. Love my doc as she has the same ideals as me. I didnt want to take anything for it unless I absolutely had to due to still nursing Emmi. She said to just ride it out. Emmi has a little bit of a cough and stuffy nose. My doc said she may have what I have so treat it the same run a humidifier, can use nasal spray, and let it takes it course.

Just when we thought Emmi was done with rolling over since she hadnt rolled over all week. She became the machine this weekend. Anytime you get her out of her crib she is on her belly. Or when playing on the floor she will roll from back to belly. Need to work on getting her going from belly to back. :^) This morning after I put her down for her nap, when I checked on her she was like this:



We also tried to play photo shoot this weekend. Here are a few pics we were able to get:

Randomness

Here is a link to a story on Fox News Charlotte on Vaccines & Autism. Lisa who is featured in the story is very involved in the Charlotte mommies forum I am on. I have definitely learned a ton from her.

Here is a link to a Rally in DC in June on making Vaccines Green, we may have to attend this.

Here is a link to a video on how safe are plastics.

What does this all mean.... we have an appt with a new doc for Emmi's 6 month check up in May. Hopefully he can help us with a plan on vaccinating Emmi since if you do research there is just so much information out there that is like the butter margarine debate. Just need to figure out what will work best for us. In regards to the plastics, we made sure Emmi's bottles weren't any of the unsafe plastics. We are now on the hunt of sippy cups for her. It looks like either the SIGG, Klean Kanteen or the Safe Sippy are the way to go to make sure we are safe. They are a bit expensive so we will see how many we actually get.

Godmotherly weekend

Emmi's godmother, Alana, came for a visit with her boyfriend Pat. We laid low much of the weekend but we did take in the Celtics game and did the normal sight seeing type things.... Emmi was on nap strike with only taking power naps so she could get maximum play time with Alana.

Emmi also was moved into her new car seat. So she is now riding around in style thanks to a co-worker of Jacob's who hooked us up with a bro deal on a sweet car seat, the Britax Boulevard.

Here she is... she is rolling over about once a day. She teases you by thinking she is going to go all the way over and then nope she rolls right back.

We also tried to give her bananas this weekend. Jacob was eating one and said lets try. So he mushed it up, put it on a spoon and tried to feed it to her. She gave a face so I then took some on my finger and put it in her mouth. Same face. Each time over the weekend I was eating a banana I either just let her put her mouth on it or gave her a little. But still the funny face. I think we need to get a picture. We are not full force on feeding her solid foods yet, more just kinda random times as I am still gathering the supplies since we intend on making all her food.

She also has started to say Da-da-da. Of course she starts with that. **Sigh** She makes noises with her tongue too. Her feet have been found. She even has tried to put them in her mouth. Crazy baby. hehehehe.
