She normally naps for about 30 minutes and then is as happy as can be. She has been so smiley lately and the smile radiates all the way to her toes, it is too cute! This week I started giving her a couple spoonfuls of carrots. She seems to like them and just wants to grab the spoon and chew on it. I am hoping in the next week or so to start making my own baby food, we will see how it goes. Although Emelia has been rolling for sometime now, she is now a professional baby roller and can go both ways rather quickly. She also does this thing when she is on her back and picks her butt up and scoots across the floor. She just wants to move and play with her brother and sister!

The rest of our week has been pretty good, we actually had a break in the weather which went into the 80's! We were loving it! I can't wait to kick the cooler weather and enjoy sunshine again. Today is my mom's birthday so I made my great grammy's cooked icing, I cannot wait to try it! Hopefully it turned out just as great as I remember. Any family cooking recipes that have been passed down to you?
