4 months of sweetness




Happy 4 months Emie! Here's a little update on how she's doing:
  • She's all smiles during her awake time. She has become quite the chatterbox lately, with lots of girly squeals. We're still working hard to get that first giggle though.
  • She's a rolling machine. Nathan finds it hilarious when she barrel rolls across the room and he'll start doing it too, asking me to join in. I don't think he'll find it quite so funny when she starts going after his toys!
  • She's started grabbing the toys on her bouncy chair and carseat.
  • She can sit up using her hands for several minutes.
  • She's sleeping pretty well. She takes 3-4 naps a day and sleeps 12 hours at night. She usually gets up once to eat around 3 or 4 a.m. She sleeps on her tummy, sucking her thumb with her little rump in the air. Gus says that filipinos say that when a baby starts sleeping this way it means he/she is ready for a baby sibling. Hmmm. . . . . not so sure what I think about that one!
  • She hasn't started solid food yet, but she sure seems interested! I don't think I started Nathan on them until almost 6 months, but she may not wait as long.
  • She's 12 lbs. 15 oz and 25.25 inches long which is 40th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. Seems to be following her brother's growth pattern so far.

She's so precious!! I think I gasped and chuckled when reading about how Filipinos would say she's ready for a sibling! ;) Miss you, too, friend!
