Rolling, rolling, rolling....

We have hit the big milestone and Emma-Grace is rolling from her back to her front and her front to her back. It is so funny because as soon as she rolls to her stomach she starts these high pitched screams that make everyone laugh. She definitely has a temper and lets you know when she's not happy. Our days are so much fun together and it's incredible at how much she changes everyday. We got her a highchair that attaches to our regular chair so she sits with us at night for dinner and eats whatever we feed her. I think I've given her just about everything and we haven't had any allergic reactions so I'm going to start making her baby food as soon as I run out of the cases I bought.


My last day of work was April 30th and now I'm waiting tables a couple nights a week at Ted's Montana Grill so I get to spend all day with my little EG which is the greatest thing in the world. Brandon is adjusting to his nights alone with her and I have to give him a ton of credit. He is an awesome dad and really does a great job with her. She gave him a tough time the first night I was gone, but I think she was just testing him. She's starting to get where she will scream (not cry - actually just let out these high pitched screams) if you aren't paying attention to her and then she smiles as soon as you start looking and talking to her.


She loves playing with the dogs and I can tell she's definitely going to be an animal lover. Since we already have 3 dogs I'm hoping she'll never need to ask for a puppy, but we'll see. Stewart lays with her whenever she's doing tummy time and he puts his paws on her arm as she grabs his hair. It's so cute and funny. She is constantly pulling herself up into the sitting position and she stands and tries to take steps. When she's on the ground or in her crib she moves all over and aside from the mile heart attacks I get realizing she's moving now, it's so cool to see. She's also starting to push up on her knees which makes me realize crawling is not too far down the line.


Her cousin Tyler came over to see her and they had a great time. She sat on his lap and he was so good with her. This summer we have a lot of fun things planned and we can't wait for her first day in the pool! She loves the big bath tub and she floats all over so I'm thinking she's going to be a swimmer like me, Sam, and Christine were.


She sleeps like a champ and on Sundays when Brandon and I have our pajama day, she joins right in. She will sleep all day with us if that's what were doing or if something cool is going on, she'll stay up to join in. She is such an easy baby. We still have our morning cuddle time and it is like Heaven to have her lay in my arms and be able to hold her little hands. I thank God so many times a day for her and I never take a second of this gift for granted. She is such a miracle and our family has never been so happy.


Today I have to go to work early so the Nicoletti girls are babysitting (with Jen, her godmommy) and it's so funny because I can remember babysitting them when they were her age and now they are watching my daughter! Time sure does fly.
