Emma is Three Months Old!



Emma- you are THREE months old today!!

I seriously can not believe it. Time is going WAY too fast. Someone told me you are 1/4 of the way to one and I almost cried.

You weigh around 13 1/2lbs. You are wearing 3-6 and 6 month clothes, just depending on the brand and size 2 diapers. (You are around the same size Jeff was at this age).

You are eating on a good 3-4 hour schedule.

You are a great sleeper!!! You go to bed by 8 on most nights and sleep until 6-7 the next morning. Mommy is so grateful for this. Some mornings I still wake up to make sure you are breathing because it makes me nervous you sleeping that long.

You are just the sweetest, most content baby. It is so easy to take you places. During the day you just go with the flow. Night time you like to be home and enjoy the time with Mommy & Daddy.

You take the pacifier well for Mama, but with Mom & Dad you love chewing/sucking on your hand. You almost have your thumb figured out and I think it's only a matter of time before you are sucking it.

You LOVE your baths. If Mommy doesn't have you in the tube by 630, you start to get very fussy at night. As soon as you get in the tub you are a happy baby, just like your brother used to be.

You LOVE to watch your brother. You just smile at him, even though he keeps bugging you. Jeff loves when you smile at him because he knows you love him.

You have the sweetest smile in the world. I think nothing makes me happier right now than talking to you and having you smile at me.

Your hair is dark and starting to get a little wavy. It's getting longer and it's thin so it just looks out of control. I hope you have dark curly hair, but we'll have to wait and see.

Your eyes are still blue but I'm starting to see hints of brown coming through. I'm curious what color you will end up with.

You love your "recliner" aka the bouncy seat and spend lots of time in there. We got you a swing yesterday and you are loving that as well. I feel bad I cannot hold you as much as I would like, but I'm thankful you don't hold that against me.

There were times I thought I would be happy if Jeff was an only child.......but now I can't imagine my life without you. You are just PURE JOY!

I love watching you grow and change. I can hardly wait to see what you look like at 4 and 6 and 10 months. Only I don't want you to grow!

Who wouldn't love the lake??

Our whole family loves packing up and heading to the lake for the weekend, and who can blame them. This past weekend was memorial day and we got 3 whole days up there!!! We are all looking forward to another summer fun!!!

Look at this face...who would mind being up at 530, when you have Emma smiling at you?



Daddy & Emma getting some quality time in together.



Such a serious face...



Nothing is better than snoozing your day away, especially at the lake.



Jeff was being goofy and getting ready to go for his boat ride.
