Dear EmmaLee, You are not forgotten!

Dear Sweet EmmaLee,

Though you have not gotten as many first year letters as your sisters, you are not forgotten. You are simply a third child. I like to think that instead of focusing on taking pictures all the time and writing blog posts, I am living and enjoying the moments with you. And every moment spent with you is truly precious! You are my angel baby! You sleep amazing! You are happy when you are awake! And you eat like a champ! I can't imagine life with a baby really getting any better! You only cry when you are tired or hungry or have been laying on the floor for a good while and are getting bored. Despite my insistence that you would use the binky and not suck on your fingers, I have lost. You are such a content and happy little lady that I haven't ever felt the need to stick a binky in your mouth. So, you have found your first two digits of your chunky little hands and love to suck on them. But, you're happy.

Major accomplishments of your first 4 months of life include:
*Occasionally rolling from your back to your stomach (and then crying because you don't like your stomach).
*Grabbing onto things and putting them in your mouth. You explored sucking on a carrot in this manner today. It was glorious!
*Sleeping through the night (a typical night is from 10pm-7:30am un-interrupted) and napping well during the day either in your crib or carseat.
*Following people around the room with your eyes, recognizing people, and smiling a lot.
*Small chuckles (I'm excited for this one to develop more!!!)

Growth stats from your 2 month appointment:
Weight: 11 lbs 7 oz (53rd percentile)
Height: 23" (88th percentile)
Head: 37 cm (14th percentile)

Growth stats from your 4 month appointment:
Weight: 16 lbs 6 oz (87th percentile)
Height: 25" (93rd percentile)
Head: 39 cm (22nd percentile)

As you can see, you are a very tall and chunky little lady! I love all those sweet rolls! I never give up a chance to kiss those squishy cheeks and blow raspberries on those yummy rolls! I love having you and your sweet spirit in our home, EmmaLee! You very quickly found your place in our hearts and are a true blessing to us.

Love,
Momma
