5 months old!

Emily's monkey pictures at 5 months old.
 Emily is weighing in at about 15 pounds and is 25.5 inches tall.

She recently learned to sit on her own.

She loves her Daddy!
Emily is such a joy to be around.  She is growing so fast!  She's eating baby foods now and LOVES it.  She is babbling and seems to be making real words.  She's either extra smart or really lucky.  She says "mama" when she wants me and "ah-umm" when she wants milk- consistently.   She has even said "Hi" a few times right on cue.  (Maybe she's just lucky, but it sure seems like talking to me.)  Her giggle is so fun to hear.  Brigham never fails to make her laugh and laugh, and she won't do it for the rest of us.  She and Brigham have a special connection I can't explain, but it's amazing to watch.  We're all so glad she's in our family!
