This was a double birthday week for Emily! On Wednesday, she turned 5 months old! Then on Thursday, she turned 22 weeks old! {Are you keeping up???} Yes, those both count as birthdays. And yes, I'm still counting her age in weeks.
To celebrate her 22 week birthday, Emily gave me a hickey on my face next to my chin. A big one. One that's very obvious, is hard to cover up even with makeup, and looks ridiculous. But how could I possibly be mad at THIS face?!?!?!
I just can't. :) Poor girl is still teething like crazy and needed something to suck on to ease the tension I guess. My face was the closest thing to her mouth at the time, so there you have it. I knew that motherhood would bring new experiences every day, but this is an interesting one for the memory book! ;)
Over the past week or so I've noticed Emily interlacing her fingers together like in the top photo above. I guess maybe it is a new skill she's working on.... finger dexterity! She also still tries to grab her toes at every opportunity:
Here she is in her big girl stroller! I am tempted to rename her "She who is always tired but never sleeps":
Emily is VERY excited for her first Halloween and to show off her adorable costume! We are keeping it a surprise until Friday, but believe me when I tell you she looks DELICIOUS in it!!!
