Emma is 4 months and a week today. She went to the doctor today and got her 4 months vaccinations. She was such a trooper!! She barely cried. We didn't even know that the shots were given that's how good she did. So far she is doing well. She took a long nap and is now playing on her mat. She is running and is slowly checking out her toys. Assuming she's fine tomorrow we are going to go to a music class which will be a lot of fun!
Emma now weighs 13 lbs 1.5 oz and is 24.5 inches tall. We can finally start using the height chart that Uncle Ryan got her. The doctor said her flat head is looking good and that we are doing a good job with helping it round out. We have to continue with tummy torture but she is getting better and better at it so it is less torturess for her.
Emma has started with Laetitia and it has been going OK so far. There is a picture of Emma and Trystan together. They look really sweet together. Emma likes her and smiles at her but the past couple times Emma's had a bit of a hard time with her because Emma has separation anxiety from me. In time she will get to know her and feel very comfortable with Laetitia. Jamey and I feel very lucky that we found Laetitia and know that she will be fabulous with Emma. We are all going over to Laetitia's on Sunday for breakfast and it will be nice. Emma will see us all spending time together and hopefully get more comfortable with her.
Emma really is the cutest little girl. She chuckles and smiles all the time. She also has found her voice and is quite talkative. She likes to carry on conversations with us for quite a while. And everyday she seems to be discovering new things - as stated above she is slowly starting to take her hands out of her mouth and explore and touch toys. She is very alert and observant. She likes it when we read her books, sing songs and she laughs her head off when we do silly dances for her. She is still a little runner and loves pick her feet up in the air and slam them down. Sometimes we wonder if she is going to hurt herself. Also new this week is she discovered her feet. She holds on to them and it is very cute to watch her play with her toes. She still loves taking her baths and we are going to start putting toys in with her... we'll see what she will do with them. She also loves playing peek-a-boo - you can see it on the video - but don't ask me why Jamey moved the camera :) It really is amazing to watch her grow!!
Grandma Marcia is coming to visit for the day next Monday and we are very excited to see her. Then we are all off to Boston/Newport, RI for Cousin Tom's wedding. We are a bit nervous about the plane ride and how she will do with it being so long but we are hopeful. When we get back from the wedding Sunday, May 2, I return to work the next day.
That's it for now. We will upload photos in another post. Enjoy!
Oh - and our Temple stopped by and gave us a congratulatory gift... hence the picture.
