5 months old!!!

Emmalyn sure has been keeping us busy this month. She has rolled over a couple times on her own but still mostly assisted by Nate or myself. She is loving her banana oatmeal as you saw in the most recent blog. She gets better with it every day. We went to Bob Evans for breakfast yesterday and it was the first time she didn't fuss, cry, or scream while we were trying to eat! She actually played in her carrier and ate her breakfast (oatmeal) while we were there! It was such a treat! She is gabbing up a storm, sometimes just to herself. She is starting to have a big problem with separation from Mommy and Daddy! She is fine in public as long as we are in her sights. However, if anyone tries to hold her she has a huge issue with it!!! She cries her big tears and looks at me like "help me Mommy!" It breaks my heart. She seems to have a problem with big crowds in small places as well. Her babysitter Karmen tried to take her to her son's Easter egg hunt and they had to leave immediately because Em was screaming and crying! We felt terrible but what can you do? She was fine once they got back in the car... of course. So, I guess she has to get over a few minor developmental things but we are sure it will pass one day... we hope!!! She is looking forward for the Easter bunny to be hopping along tonight and to visit T and Pa's tomarrow. I only hope the number of people isn't too much for her so I can enjoy Easter as well!
