4 months old!

I'm so sad that the only time I only have time to post is for Emmy's monthly update, and even still, my mom is cooking me lunch while Aunt CooCoo holds Emerson so I can type this up--before I get back to grading papers and finishing up plans for next week.  

Yikes!! I relish my time to sit and just cuddle with my baby girl on the weekends, our weeks are spent running full steam.  By some miracle, Nathan was actually home last Thursday and we got to spend a family night together.  I can't tell you how AWESOME it is to have him home on a weeknight so we can actually speak more than a few words to each other.  It's just nice to be together...all 3 of us.  It makes me sad that those times are rare because of our work schedules.  We both feel like tired, single parents--and if by any chance you are a single parent, kudos to you! I don't know how you do it on a daily basis.

January flew by for us, and here we are welcoming February with a 4 month old. :)  


In the past month Emerson:

Has started really giggling and talking, there isn't a better sound!

Enjoys laying down and playing...without a diaper on. It never fails to cheer her up--she loves being a nakey bottom.

Started going to Mrs. Lori's house while mommy and daddy are at work.  She LOVES her Nonnie!

Has to be sitting up, no more holding her like a baby!

Enjoys swinging in her swing.

Weighs 13.6 pounds!!! 50th percentile.

Measures 24 inches long.  55th percentile.

I don't remember the circumference of her head, all that matters is that she's in the 80th percentile. Haha!

This hat used to be huge on her!
Started making a growling noise. If she's in the mood, she'll growl back and forth with you!

Enjoys being read to!



Went to her first movie and she did awesome.  We stayed in the theater for the whole show. (It was Frozen and she seemed to love it as much as me, I can't wait to buy it for her.)

In the theater 
The past couple of nights she's slept 11 hours straight.  She has a cough and has been congested and it's making her sleepier.  (Nathan took her to the doctor on Friday and she doesn't have an infection, but it is still pitiful to listen to.)

Drools all over the place, likes to chew on things--especially her own tongue. 

Met her new friend, MaKayla

And the Glass family came to meet Emerson for the first time! 

Steele and Emerson :)
Sully feeding Emmy
Melts my heart! 
with Sage
I missed them so much!
Is a chatty chatty little girl! 

Was the shining star of the baby shower my co-workers threw us.  Unfortunately, she got overwhelmed and very upset so we had to step out to feed her. 

The cutest cake! 
My AWESOME team! 

Here are a few of my other favorite pictures from this month!

Still loves bath time!
Clothes getting stuck on that big noggin! Haha!


She's a PRO at tummy time!





She looks SO much like her Daddy!


Emerson Paige you are the light of our lives! We love you to the moon and back.  Thank you for being such a sweet girl, we love watching you grow, but could you slow down just a little bit? :)



I love my family :)
