a letter to emery | four months old

4 months!!



You weighed 16lb 4oz and were 26 inches long at your 4 month appointment!

You have officially rolled over!! (back to belly first and a few days later you did belly to back) You will roll over as soon as I lay you on your back now, but you will get SO mad when you are on your belly! Its so funny - you want to roll over, but hate being on your belly. And, as soon as I flip you on your back, you roll back over! :)

Emery, you are SO smiley!! You smile so much and you get so tickled when we talk to you. You tuck your chin in, smile so big, and sqinch your cheek. Oh, I love when you do that.

You are growing so much! You are wearing 6 month clothes (some 9 month!) and size 3 diapers! You are so long! You are still exclusively eating breastmilk and you eat so much! (You have eaten 8 ounces TWICE! - SO CRAZY) You normally will eat 4 ounces though.  You are sleeping about 4-5 hours at night.

You love to be carried around facing outwards so you can see everything. When you get fussy and I try to cuddle with you, you get more mad! You would rather be held facing out! (I wish you cuddled, little bit!)

You still are loving those hands! You love to put your hands in your mouth and just talk away. ( I wonder if you will get teeth sooner than your sister)

You will be sound asleep with your paci in your mouth, I will turn around to attempt to do something, and before I know it Avery will have pulled your paci out and will be trying to force it back in your mouth.  Thank God, you are such a go with the flow baby because you usually just look up at her and just smile away like she is the best thing in the world. You get your mouth and face wiped quite a bit with clothes laying around and if Avery can get to your back, she is usually trying to "burp" you. She is also trying to pick you up now which is so funny to me because there's only a 7lb weight difference in the two of you. You get lots and lots of kisses from her and she loves to find your belly button and touch your eyes and hair.

I can't wait for the summer with you! I bet you are going to love being outside every day and love the water! 

you are so loved my sweet girl! keep growing big and strong!
