Emery tries baby food...

We've been giving Emery baby food here and there since her 4 month check up. We started with plain old rice cereal mixed with formula. She didn't really care for it, so we mixed in a little applesauce. Still not very fond of the rice cereal. Since then, we have tried sweet potatoes, peas, carrots and bananas. She will eat all of them, but she definitely prefers the bananas. Yeah, I found something she really likes!! Who would have ever imagined that she would prefer fruit to veggies??

Emery's Room

I just had to share these. I love Emery's room and wanted everyone to see it. Most people think the stripes are wallpaper, but Ivan and I actually painted them on. They were really easy too. Enjoy!

Emery's 5 Month Pictures

Here is Emery's 5 month picture. I must say, as she gets older, it is easier and easier to take these monthly pictures. I used to have to take about 20 pictures just to get one really good one and this month, I only took about 5 and all but one was great.

In the last month, she has really grown in her personality. She is such a happy baby - unless you take just a minute too long to get her a bottle. She has figured out how to pull her binky out of her mouth and is trying to figure out how to put it back in the right way. She's not too found of squash, but really seems to like carrots. She also likes to cover her eyes with the back of her hands when she is drinking her bottle. She still won't sleep unless she is swaddled, thank goodness I had bigger blankets made.

Why can't I be better with technology?

I have tried to do two things on this stupid computer today and have failed miserably!! First, I tried to download pictures to Walgreens or Walmart to save money on printing. For those of you yet to have babies, please factor in pictures and shipping into your monthly budget. It gets expensive when most of your family is out of state. Anyway, at Walgreens and Walmart, you had to download something to the stupid computer and Ivan's "gaming" computer wouldn't allow it. I have no idea why and am too frustrated to keep playing with it. Why oh why did my laptop have to quit charging?? Now, I am back to having to physically walk into Target or somewhere, drop off the pictures, just to come back and pick them up. I know, I know, it's not that difficult, but I don't want to spend my time doing that. Then, I still have to sort through them, package them up and back to the post office to mail them. Ugh! Does someone want to do this for me, please?

Then, my friend Jodi, who got me into this blog thing, keeps updating her blog with the cutest pages. So, I ask how she does it and she directs me to the link. The directions seem simple enough, copy and paste and fill in the blank with a weblink. Do you think I can do it? NO!!

Once again, I am frustrated and Ivan isn't home to figure it out for me. So, I have to get off of the stupid computer before I go nuts. Off to bed for me...
