5 Months

Emma Grace is now 5 months old believe it or not. She's a precious little chunk.


Facts about Emma Gracie Girl (as Abigail refers to her):

1. Diapers: size 3

2. Clothing: 6 months, 6-9 months, 9 months

3. Height and Weight: I'm not sure since there was no appointment this month, but I'm thinking somewhere around 15 1/2 pounds.

4. Sleeping: Takes a bottle at 7:15 from EITHER me or David (praise the Lord!) and is asleep by 7:30. If we push her past this time, she gets super crabby and does not take a bottle well.

5. Food: Emma nurses 5 times a day and takes rice cereal/oatmeal in the morning. I am about add in another rice cereal or oatmeal around dinner time because I am feeling like she needs it.

6. Daily Schedule:
7:00 Wake up, eat, play
8:30-10:00 Nap
10:30-11:00 Eat
12:00-1:00 Nap
1:30-2:00 Eat
2:00-3:30 Nap
5:00 Eat
5:30-6:00 Nap
7:15 Bottle and Bed!

7. This month Emma Grace rolled from her back to her belly and now does so routinely. She is quite proud of herself.

8. She sleeps in her sleep sack with her passy and always snuggles her lovey right up by her face.

9. Emma Grace does these extremely high pitched scream when she's excited. It's hilarious and will literally bust your ear drum if you happen to be holding her.

10. She watches everything that Abigail does and thinks she's hilarious...most of the time. The times when Abigail is not smothering her with "love."

11. Emma Grace has just begun to REALLY reach well for things, and quicker than before. It surprises Abigail when she grabs her toys and it surprises me! I am just now having to start to deal with Abigail wanting the toys that Emma grabs.

12. I'm not sure how much milk she is taking at each feeding, but it seems like quite a bit. I'm doing my best to keep up and I pump quite often, just to make sure I've got all that she wants!

13. Her hair has begun to grow and of course, it's blonde! Two blonde kids...who would have thought?!

14. Rolls and rolls and rolls. This kid has more rolls than Abigail ever did. I LOVE it.

15. Emma Grace has a darling personality. She is jovial, laughs all the time, grabs my face to give me open mouth kisses, turns her head as fast as she can to take in the world around her, goes with the flow (before 7:30 pm) and will chew on anything. We can't wait to watch her grow and see how her personality continues to develop.
