Emma turned 3 months old on Wednesday. I know everyone says it goes by fast, but I didn't believe them... I do now.
All things Emma, 3-month edition:
-Emma is very much a morning person. If you want to see her smile at everything then you need to be at our house between 5-8 in the morning.
-Emma still does not seem to like pacifiers, but she loves to chew on things. This chewing comes with an amazing amount of drool.
Drool bubbles are fun!
-She can now roll over to one side really well. She wants to roll over to the other side so bad that she gets frustrated when it doesn't work. Emma can also hold her head parallel while being pulled up and can lift her head up 90 degrees while on her tummy. She is going to be an active little girl.
-Emma has been able to support her own weight for about a month. We have to help her with balance and control, but she is pretty strong.
-We can almost tickle her at this point. I think she knows that she is ticklish, but doesn't always know how to process that information. Sometimes she smiles, sometimes she grunts, and other times she just looks at us like we are nuts.
-She has discovered her hands and she loves them. She is constantly playing with her own hands or sucking on her fists. It is seriously adorable.
-Her little hands also like to grab things. She likes toys, but she is way more interested in grabbing hair, necklaces, shirts, anything that is attached to the person holding her.
-It seems as though Emma has an internal alarm. She always knows when it is bath/bed time. At 6:30 she is adorable and silly, but by 7:30 she starts to get sleepy and... a bit cranky. This may seem like a bummer, but it means she knows when it is time to sleep and, for the most part, she stays asleep through the night. :-) Yes, we know we are very lucky.
-Speaking of bath time, Dad is now the bath giver. It gives Emma and her Daddy some fun, relaxing time that is just for them.
-She is starting to notice the tv... a lot. We were hoping she wouldn't pick up that family trait, but those shiny, happy images are very appealing.
Oh look, the tv!
-I went back to work this month. While I am still having a hard time adjusting to not seeing her 24/7, Emma is doing well. I think this is because she gets to spend every day with her Grandma or her Dad. I am a bit envious.
-Every day Emma's personality is developing. It is amazing to watch and makes every day special.
