4 Months! (delayed)


-Emma still weighs less than 13 lbs. which still makes her smaller than our cat.
- Her hair is growing pretty fast, but the cutest part is that she still has a handful of really long hairs from when she was born. It adds to the fluffy quality.

Hair fluff and long eyelashes.

-She is great with people. We have been venturing out around town during these abnormally warm late fall days. Whenever someone smiles at her she smiles back. She is also patient and calm when being carried in her wrap, so outings are actually really fun.
Ready for a hug.


-Emma is really good at supporting her own weight on her legs. She can even push up from a squatting position (she is preparing her soccer legs).
-She loves to just hold things...especially when she is napping.
-Rolling over has started to be an easier thing for her. She does not always roll all the way over, but the back and forth is no longer frustrating.

-What is frustrating is the fact that she can reach the toys on her play mat, but she can't pull them down. She tries so hard to chew on them and gets very grumbly when it doesn't work out.
-Although she (probably) won't be eating solids until she is 6 months old, Emma has become fascinated with watching us eat. My theory is that she wants to be chewing on everything and the fact that we are chewing on something that she can't have is frustrating.
-During changing time (and other times) she sometimes grabs her feet. She is going to be very good at yoga.
Happy baby pose.

-Football is very entertaining and hilarious to Emma. She smiles every time football is on TV. No other sport seems to have this effect.
-Emma is now able to bring things to her mouth with ease. She is super excited about this fact and likes to use her new skill whenever possible.
Even her sticker was a victim. Goodbye month 4; hello month 5!


We waited a week to take these pictures, because Miss Emma had a bit of a virus that covered her with red spots. They weren't itchy and she was never unhappy....but we still thought it was best to wait until her skin was all clear.

Clear skin = happy, bubbly baby
