Emma is just over 5 months old now and is really starting to develop a fun personality. She laughs often and does her best to make her parents laugh too! Her second cousin, Joel, loaned us his bouncer this month and she thoroughly enjoys it. Thank you Joel, AJ, and Bridget! Her favorite activity right now is to bounce up and down while yelling and laughing to explore her voice. She has also become a big fan of playing with her feet, sometimes even putting them in her mouth. It is amazing how quickly she has changed over the past 5 months.
We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful child to light up our days as we work through some tough times with Grandpa Scherman's health.

Emma at 4 months
Emma is now 4 months old and she's doing great! Her 4 month appointment measurements showed her at 88% on length, 50% on weight, and 64% on head circumference so she is growing perfectly! Her 4th month of life was filled with quite a bit of excitement for anyone, much less a 4 month old who will never remember any of it.
She experienced her first July 4th fireworks displays, her first airplane flight, first time to Kennedy Space Center in Florida, first time at Sea World, and first time in the Atlantic Ocean! There will be much more on that trip in the near future, but Emma was great through it all and helped make the trip to Orlando even more enjoyable than expected.

Emma at 3 Months!
Emma's 3 month birthday was Saturday June 13. She has really grown and changed a lot in the past 90+ days, but she is still adorable and has really been a great baby with lots of smiling, laughing and cooing. Colleen and I are really enjoying parenthood and it is safe to say this little girl has us completely wrapped around her finger!

Emma's Baptism
Emma was Baptized into the Catholic Church Sunday May 24, 2009 at St. Pius X Church in Mission, KS. Her Godparents are my siblings, Deanna and Lee, who were both happy to be selected as Emma's Godparents, even if Lee doesn't show it in the pictures :-)
As you can see in this picture, Emma was in a great mood while we were at church and made it through the ceremony without crying at all. The dress and headband she wore that day were both hand made by my mother, Angela, and Emma was absolutely adorable.
After the ceremony we all went to a family diner for lunch and a beautiful cake made by Colleen's mother, Mary Jo, which was delicious.

Emma - Weeks 9 & 10
Here are a few pictures of Emma during weeks 9 and 10 of her life. We are starting to give her "tummy time" more often so she can build the muscles which she will need to start crawling. For now we usually prop her up on Colleen's Boppy pillow so she can look around easier until she is able to push herself up with her arms.

Emma meets Kyah
The weekend of May 2nd, the Scherman family traveled to Augusta, KS to meet up with the Bell family who had traveled from Hereford, TX. Erin Bell and I (Nate) are first cousins which makes Kyah and Emma second cousins. We met at Erin's parents' house for the weekend which included a very nice baby shower for the Bell family. This was the first time Kyah had been to her grandparents' home and obviously the first time the two girls have met. Kyah was born just 10 days after Emma and both little girls are absolutely adorable! Needless to say, Colleen and I will keep a close eye on miss Kyah as she grows up at the same time as Emma.
