You still just eat breast milk. 

Emma I can't believe that you are already 5 months old.  You love to smile, laugh, giggle, and roll around.  You love to talk.  Everyday on the way home from daycare, you talk all the way home.  I think you are telling me how your day was.  When you laugh, you make everyone laugh and then you laugh more.  When you smile, your whole face smiles.  You are trying to crawl.  Daddy calls it the bull-dowser.  You put your head on the ground , push with your hands and feet.  You move across the floor like this.  We are not sure how you don't get rug-burn on your face, but so far so good.  You have discovered your feet and you try to put them in your mouth.  Still no teeth, but you drool and chew on everything.  The doctor said that your gums are swollen, but they were swollen at your 4 month check-up too.  When I pick you up from daycare, you always smile at me.  This melts my heart every time.  I had to drop you off at daycare for the first time, and I cried as soon as I left you.

Emma we love you so much.  You brighten our day.  We can't imagine our life without you.
