Rolls everywhere!

Emily loves bath time and really enjoys splashing in the water even though she gets it in her eyes and mouth. She just startles herself when that happens, looks up at us to make sure everything is ok, smiles, and then goes back to splashing! Here are some fun photos of her after bathtime last night that show her many cute rolls!
The other rolling that we are referring to is Emily's ability to roll to get where ever she wants to go. She has been rolling for awhile, but this new rolling encompasses pivoting, turning her body 90 or 180 degrees around, and analyzing the angle she needs to be at to roll all the way to get something or to avoid obstacles in her way. She isn't crawling yet because I think this rolling technique is enough for her now. She does use her arms to move sometimes but just ends up going backward, which frustrates her.

She is also much more vocal in just the last week or two. She still does her sing-song "ahhhhhhh, eeeeeee" in a very high pitch. And the "hhmmmmmm" a lot. But she has added babababababa and even some d sounds sometimes.

Emily has also added eating solid food at dinner time and opens her mouth for more without any of the coaxing that we did for the first few weeks of solid foods.

It has gotten cold here, so we pulled out the size 12 month winter jacket we got for her. Unfortunately it looked really cute in the store, but until we put it on her we forgot to take into consideration the puffy factor! She barely fits in the car seat with it on!
