Emily is 4 Month's Old!

So, we have fallen behind on our parental duties of keeping track of all of the wondrous things that Emily does every day. A lot has happened since we wrote last. We will start updating her progress every month on her birthday. If we don't, Emily has permission to nag us about it!

-She continues to laugh and smile at the silly things that we do and at all her new friends at day care.
-In September, she met papa for the first time and saw deeda again. She had a great time with them.
-Emily still loves her baths and smiles even if she is in a grumpy mood (which is rare) when mommy bathes her.
-In October she met her Uncle Shun and cousin Alex for the first time and saw her Aunt Laurie again. She had such a good time with them.
-Emily went to daycare for the first time when mommy went back to work. Gail is so much fun and loving and the other kids are so good with her. She always smiles when she sees Gail in the morning. Mommy comes and sees her every day at lunch since she is only five minutes away.
-Gigi and Popi came to Emily's first Halloween party at Gail's. She had a great time but she was not a huge fan of her flower costume. She also went to Gigi's fall festival at her school and saw Great Big Mom win 2 cakes at the cake walk.
-Emily went on her first road trip to Austin to visit Aunt Hava and Uncle Mike. They babysat her while mommy and daddy went to a wedding and gave them a good parenting 101 lesson!
-Nicole had a first when she made Emily laugh from giving her raspberries on her tummy!
-Emily threw her first party when we had a BBQ at the house with friends. She was certainly the hostess with the mostess!


-Emily met two of her favorite people in October - Rhonda and Earl. We all drove the airport to meet them when they had a layover in Dallas. She loved meeting them and they had a great time seeing and holding her.
-Ashley gave Emily the cutest rug for her room..it is perfect and makes us all happy (except for Bailey who no longer has access to the room since she'd get it dirty)!

-Emily is loving her feet these days..what neat creations!

-She has also had her first bouts of sickness. Some bad colds mixed in with some croup. She always tries to smile through it, though...such an amazing little girl.
-Emily loves playing on her aquarium play mat and especially loves Ollie, the octopus, who hangs from it. Early on, he got a ton of smiles and laughs from her.
-We've started carrying Emily around in her Baby Bjorn and she enjoys it because she can see everyone. She loves to watch everyone and everything!
-Emily continues to grow. She is 26" now and 13 lbs 8 oz.

We could not be in love more than we are with our little redhead. She completes us!
