4 months old

December 17, 2009

(I couldn't pick the best one, so they all made it this month!)

Well, Emery is 4 months old now and what a big month she has had! We celebrated Thanksgiving in Tyler this year with the Kirksey's and has a great time! Good food, good family, good games. This also meant Camryn was in town for a few days and Emery really enjoyed getting to play with her- actually she mostly enjoyed watching Camryn play, as we all did. She is also changing so much, here is what she is up to lately:

- She is still loving her gym and playing with the all the toys in it. She really started liking the music aspect of it & gets so excited when it makes noise.

- She is reaching for EVERYTHING! I'm so proud- she is so great with finding her toys when they are laying next to her and picking them up to play with them. She is also grabbing things out of your hands and of course they go straight for her mouth

- She is loving different textures. She has a blanket (the Swankie Blankie!) and she loves to feel the furry side and the silky side. She spends so long just touching it and of course chewing on it

- After Camryn's visit she picked up on a few things: how to SCREAM, and how to roll over. She hasn't quite gotten there yet, but she's so close! Maybe after Christmas she'll have it down.

- She is great at sitting in the Bumbo and I think she really likes the new perspective it gives her. She watches Tanner and Bruiser and they are so entertaining!

- She laughs! It's the best sound in the world, and she especially laughs when we play airplane.

- She is getting bigger & bigger everyday. She is wearing 3 month clothes now and we are getting a lot of use out of some great and precious shower gifts. I still can't believe she is wearing them! I looked at them for so long while I was still pregnant and tried to imagine my baby girl in them and here she is. It's a great feeling.

We go back to the Dr. Monday morning for her 4 month check up. Wish me luck- watching those shots is tough! Until then, enjoy some pics!

Helping me cook on Thanksgiving. The high chair has a tray that attaches to the front so she has all her toys in reach. Of course, most of the time they end up on the floor- oh my, it's already begun!

See, she LOVES to touch things- especially furry things!

What do you do when you don't want to do tummy time anymore? Push yourself forward out of the Boppy, duh!

See how fun the gym is- you can climb on it too!

Happy 4 months Big Girl- they have been the best 4 months of my life!
