Miss You Daddy

Since Shawn has been gone this week, I have obviously had to take over his Daddy duties.  One of his jobs each night is to give Emily a bath.  He loves giving her a bath as Emily is always happy during "tubby time".  Well, Shawn has taught Emily how to splash in the tub and at the end of each bath I have given her this week. . . I am soaked!  And I'm not exaggerating  She gets water everywhere!  It's fun watching her splash away, but I have to say I am eagerly awaiting Shawn to come back so he can take over the bath time duties.

Waiting patiently for me to turn on the water. . .

It's hard to catch her kicking. . .but do you see the waves in the tub. . .

A few side notes. . in the last week or so, Emily has started making this really high pitch squeal noise whenever she gets excited, which is quite often.  It cracks me up.   We've got it on video. . .but I have yet to learn how to post a video.

Also. . .over the last couple of weeks. . .Emily's eating more and more solid foods. I sent food to daycare and they now feed her breakfast and lunch. She's doing so well. She still doesn't eat a lot (1/2 jar of the stage 1 foods), but we are getting there. So far we've tried bananas, apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. After trying them all a few times. . .she's come to like them all! Yay! I guess she has more of a "mature" palate then we thought. So far, it seems like she's much less picky of an eater than me. Of course, I have only bought her foods that I like, so that might not be saying much. :) But for now. . .she gets some oatmeal and 1/2 jar of fruit for breakfast and lunch and rice cereal and 1/2 jar of veggies for dinner. We'll probably start moving on to the stage 2 foods soon. It's such a relief that she's starting to eat more solid foods!
