Five months. Emma turned five months old last week, but I've been working furiously on a project for the last two weeks so I didn't get the picture up on the day. The picture on the day is below; the picture above was today, with her first dress. She is doing remarkably well, and is trying to sit up but without much success yet. She is lifting her head and looking around, so it can't be that long before she starts.



Today, we spent an hour down at Myers Point, the town park on Cayuga Lake. Emma napped through most of it (yay!), and it was beautiful. The sun was out, there was a light breeze, and it was in the low-mid seventies. This is one of the reasons to live around here.



The water was brilliantly clear, with very light waves. I caught a wave in motion with the pebbles below, and the glittering lines of sun casting stripes on the lake bottom.
