Mmmm!

Last night Emelia got to taste another yummy food!!
WATERMELON!!

And she loved it!  We had to stop eating it when she started putting big chunks into her mouth.  She just wanted to eat it all up.  Of course she didn't get the whole big piece the whole time, just for the picture, but she would've if I had let her!! :)  She was so cute when she was enjoying her watermelon! :)

She had a good evening with us last night, after a nice long nap of course!  She is getting to be quite the mover and has no trouble getting around the house!!!!  One minute she's playing on the living room floor, the next she's out trying to dig in the dog food dish!!  She has really been enjoying her new found freedom by sneaking out into the dining room and kitchen at every opportunity!

She has totally mastered sitting up on her own and is getting pretty good at pulling herself into a standing position as well!  Today she pulled herself up alongside her jumper-roo! 

Vocally she is advancing by leaps and bounds, as well.  She says "Rar, rar, rar" over and over as well as the occasional "Ba ba", "Ma ma", and "Da da".  Screeching at the top of her lungs is also a new noise she has been enjoying a lot of lately!  She still blows raspberries when she is in a mood or doesn't like the food we're giving her!

Otherwise, all continues to go well.  I think she might have a bit of a cold, otherwise her allergies are kicking her butt!!  Emelia's poor nose is so stuffed up lately and yucky!  I hate to rely on medicine too much and the Claritin doesn't seem to provide much relief and the benadryl makes her too sleepy to use during the day.  Mold spore counts are high in our area right now, and that's my big allergy trigger as well, so maybe that's her issue also!

This week has been miserably hot in our area, with heat indices over 110 degrees!  Next week we are hoping for some cooler weather... it is our trip to the Zoo!  We are leaving on Monday and coming back on Wednesday!  I'm super excited to see what Emelia thinks of all the different animals!! :)

Daddy and Emelia enjoying a story! :)
And finally, a cute picture to end the post! :)
