Emma: Week 21

Highlights:
* size 2 diapers. Size 3, 3-6, and 6 month clothes.
* no weight the check this week.
* little one is almost sitting up on her own. Emma likes to dive forward but she can catch herself, most of the time.
* big news: Emma is starting to eat cereal. She was feeding every 1.5 hours so we decided it might be about time. We wanted to wait until she was six months but Emma wanted to start a little earlier.
* thunderstorm knocked down one of our cherry trees so July 4th was spent doing yard work! Greg wanted to act like George Washington by cutting the cherry tree into smaller pieces.
* likes to look at books; we need to find more books that Emma can't destroy.
* rolled over a few times this week, mostly back to tummy.
* our a/c units broke two different times this week, it can hardly keep up with the heat! We had the repairman visit last weekend for the upstairs unit, then the downstairs unit decided to break this weekend. Greg's going to try and repair it himself.
* iPad was purchased this week. We have found one app for Emma that she really enjoys. It's a slideshow of pictures that teaches her the names and sounds of each picture. We can lock the slideshow so that she can touch the screen without interrupting the pictures. I need to look for more apps for Emma. Any suggestions?


**Look for separate posts for July 4th and 1st attempt at cereal.**
