Springtime fun!

Since our last post, we have been trying to enjoy this amazing spring weather we've been having.  We took a walk around Lake Harriet and visited the "Easter Bunny" along Minnehaha Creek.  Both were great excuses to get out and about.  A bonus is that Emily is very content in her car seat and likes going for rides in the car as well as strolls!

Emily has also been experimenting with new toys at home.  They include the exersaucer, blocks and barbells!

Love the exersaucer!!

Play time with dad

Emily still joins us at the dinner table every night and we have concluded that her favorite toy is definitely her ferris wheel that suctions to her high chair tray.  She loves hitting it and trying to get as much of it in her mouth as possible! (Beware: the video is almost a minute long!!  And I don't know how to make the video non-widescreen.  Things that make you go hmmmmmm...)

Emily has also become quite the talker.  She is eager to talk our ears off after her exciting day at daycare most evenings.  It's entertaining to us to hear all of the new sounds she makes, along with some little laughs thrown in there!  We have some good video samples that we'll share next blog entry.

Patrick and I also had another night out thanks to Uncle John and Kim.  They were kind enough to look after Emily while we headed to our friend's, Lucy and Justin, house for the evening.  It was great seeing our friends for an adult night!  On another non-baby related note, our tulips are fully blooming now and the lillies are in full force.  I love spring time flowers.  Now I'm just waiting on the hostas I planted by the garage last year to sprout up.  Here's hoping!

At the end of the week is Emily's 4 month appointment.  We look forward to finding out how much she weighs and how long she is.  We are also hoping that she'll get the green light to dive into some foods, aka baby cereal.  We're excited for her reaction to them, so it's purely selfish : )

4 months old!!

As always,
More to come!
