My sweet Emmy Bug, how are you 4 months old already?!? I'm pretty sure I JUST wrote your 3 month post!
This has been such a fun month, I wish I could just freeze time for a little while! You have developed the funniest personality and I can't get enough of it! You are quite the little chatter box these days; I believe you get this from your Daddy and your Pop. You "talk" non-stop, even the ladies at daycare comment on all your jabbering. Speaking of daycare, it's still going very well! Your teachers just eat you up. It definitely makes Mama feel good knowing you're getting lots of love when I'm not with you. You're still giving out lots of smiles too! You will smile at just about anyone now. You absolutely adore your Daddy. He can make you smile and laugh like no one else can. You rolled from your belly to your back this month! Daddy got to see you do it and tried to get a video but he wasn't quick enough! We were so proud of you!
You had two more double ear infections this month :(. Dr. E said we shouldn't throw in the towel yet but you're too young to have already had three double ear infections, so tubes may be in our near future. Since we were frequent visitors at the doctor's office this month, we got some stats:
Weight: 15lbs 11oz
No height this time!
We go to your 4 month appointment in a week so we'll have better stats then! We sure aren't looking forward to more shots!
On April 30th, 2013 Mama and Daddy bought our first house! We are so glad to be out of the apartment and to have more room for you to play and grow! We can't wait to take you swimming in the neighborhood pool and play with you in the backyard.
Eating: You're still on Similac Alimentum and taking 5oz every 3-4 hours. You rarely make it 4 hours anymore so I feel like we'll be trying out 6oz pretty soon.
Sleep: You're still the greatest sleeper! You go down anywhere from 8:30 - 9:30 and we have to wake you up in the mornings for daycare. You wiggle all over your bed at night and usually end up upside down and on the opposite end of where I put you. We're still very strict with your bedtime routine and I think it helps you so much. You've started to really like your giraffe lovey at bedtime. I put him right by your face while we rock and you just hold him until you fall asleep.
Sizes: You're still in size 2 diapers but I can tell we'll be moving to 3's pretty soon! We did move you to size 3 nighttime diapers because they fit differently than regular diapers. You're now wearing 6 month footed pajamas and a lot of 6 month clothing. You can still wear some 3-6 month clothing, it just depends on the brand.
Play: You are actually playing with toys now. Everything you can get your hands on goes in your mouth! And you're such a drooler! I change your bib 3-4 times per day! One of your favorite toys is your little elephant that your Great Aunt Lara got you. It crinkles and has some rings attached to it and you love him! You also like your O-ball and the "link" rings that I recently got you. You tolerate tummy time much more now because you're able to hold your head way up and see things. We love tickling you and listening to you squeal. I can only imagine how much more fun playtime is going to get.
Here are a few pictures from your 4th month:
Meeting your Great-Great Grandmother for the first time at her 88th birthday party. So thankful you were able to meet her! Not many people get to experience 5 generations! (Not the greatest picture, this was the day before we found out you a had a nasty double ear infection so you were not feeling great!)
Watching a little TV before daycare one morning, with your favorite elephant of coarse.
You and Meme supporting Uncle Ryan at his track meet!
Pictures with Daddy before church
Being so silly during bath time! Still your favorite!
Big stretches!
Napping with Mama. You're the best napper :)
Happy, happy 4 months sweet angel! We love you more everyday!
