This month...
1. Weight: 14 lb 12 oz--78%
Height: 25 1/4 in--87%
Head: 16 in--44%
2. As you can see, our girl is BIG. I love it. She's a great eater and we will probably start rice cereal as this next month comes to a close. I think I'll start it after we get home from the beach. For now she nurses 6 times a day, but when we start rice cereal I'll drop one. Maybe even before...we shall see.
3. Daily schedule:
7:00-Up, eat, play
8:00-8:30 Down for nap
10:00 up to eat and play
11:30-12:30 nap
12:30 Up to eat and play
1:00 Eat
1:30 Down for nap
3:00-3:30 up to eat
3:30-5:00 play
5:00-6:00 nap
6:00 Eat
8:00 Bottle and down for the night!
4. Emma will now take a bottle, but mostly from me unfortunately. When I take Abigail to gymnastics on Wednesday mornings my mom watches Emma and she has had some success. We think that it has to do with me being here. If I'm here, she wants it from me, and therefore refuses David at night because I am here. We shall see if she continues to improve. I'm encouraged that it's not the bottle itself... she has no problem with it in that sense.
5. Diapers: size 2, about to be size 3 as soon as we get through the current box. She is literally busting out of them.
6. Clothing: 3-6 months, 6 months, 6-9 months, 9 months--this is really working out well because Emma is able to wear all of Abigail's old summer clothes, even though Abigail wore them when she was 7+ months.
7. Emma rolled over from her belly to her back this month!
8. She LOVES chewing on her hands and is getting better and better at grabbing things and putting them in her mouth.
9. Emma LOVES her sister, even though Abigail routinely showers her with probably more love than she can deal with. Abigail will sing and Emma will smile and kick her legs. I love it.
10. I adore her belly laugh and she is quite ticklish!
11. Emma is so easy going if she is well-rested. She rides along, plays, smiles and is generally the sweetest little girl around.
12. Everyone thinks she look exactly like David...but I DO see some me in there. ;)
13. After she takes the bottle from me at night I will sit her up and she talks and talks to me. It's the cutest thing because it's always kind of gargly because she has milk in her throat.
14. Her hair may be coming in a little bit darker than Abigail's did.
15. Emma loves a bath and kicks her legs furiously.
