4 Month Stats

 Ok, I've had major issues getting these pictures to load, but I got them. These are just some recent pictures I've snapped on my phone. Sweet Emerson is getting big TOO fast!

 Emerson passed out on our bed in Boston right before we had to leave for a wedding...go figure.

 Ready to party!

Our happy girl! Emerson is a very happy girl...until she's not, HA! That might not make much sense, but here's the deal. If this little sweet pea is upset...she is MAD. There is no luke warm..its one extreme or the other. She keeps us on our toes!

 

Anyway, she had her 4 month check up Monday and she's perfect!

 

Stats

weight = 13 pounds 11.5 ounces...50 percentile

length = 24.80 inches...70 percentile

head = 50 percentile

 

She is pretty much right where Stella was at 4 months...crazy!

Emerson is 4 Months!

I absolutely love this sweet girl's smile! Her little crinkled up nose is TOO cute!

I can't believe it's been 4 months! I could just eat her up.

Watching her sister play...a favorite pass time for SURE

Ha, don't they look happy. Emerson was fussy just before this picture and then Stella went over to comfort her and she was done. I love that she loves her big sister so much and vise versa.

Emerson is still in 3 month and 3-6 month clothes.

She wears a size 2 diaper now.

Still a good nurser but she watches us VERY closely when we're eating so foods might be in her future soon.

She loves her paci still. Her naps are getting a little better and night time is pretty good. She still gets up once.

She loves her carseat.

She flew for the first time this month. she did pretty good. And we fly again soon...she's a little traveler!

She is pretty attached to me, but daddy can get some pretty awesome smiles out of her.

She loves her playmat and is constantly talking.

Her reflux seems to have let up some, but I don't want to jinx us :)

Overall, she is pretty happy baby UNLESS she gets tired. Watch out. There is little to NO warning before she melts down.

Happy 4 Months sweet girl!

Cousins!

We weren't expecting to see Hunter and Sawyer on our trip to Oregon, but due to Grandpa's health they decided to make the trip! SO MUCH COUSIN FUN! Hunter was so sweet with Emerson.

Stella and Sawyer hugging/tackling. Depending on their moods this was fun or torture :)

My pictures for the baths didn't turn out that great...but it was WILD!!!

My dad was in charge and a bit stressed taming the older 3 :)

My dad did this with Stella when we first got there and then decided the boys would like it too when they arrived...I think after 10 laps around the yard he regretted that decision :)

This is Stella with her second cousins. We had a cookout at my parents house and they came to play. Stella (2 1/2) was bossing around her MUCH older cousins...it was pretty funny. They were so sweet with her.

Then they headed to the pool (it ended up being closed) but I just love this picture of Stella keeping up with them. She was so excited to go to the pool with the "big" kids. It reminded me of my cousin, Sonia, trying to keep up with our older cousins. They weren't as sweet to us though :)

Gaga and (big) Papa

I decided to make a last minute trip to Oregon to visit my Grandpa (more on that later) and as you can see the girls had a great time with their Papa and Gaga. I wish we could see my parents...a lot more...but the time they have together is so sweet. Stella is very much attached to my mom so it's always fun to see what they're going to come up with.

It was a great visit, but a sad one. My grandpa has been fighting cancer for quite sometime. Originally, I was going to fly out to see him at the end of June...but then I just felt the need to go NOW. Well, obviously God KNEW I needed to go. While I was there he was rushed to the hospital and it wasn't good. But in true grandpa fashion...he bounced back a little. Don't get me wrong he was extremely weak but he could still boss us around and give us a piece of his mind :) Due to the trip to the hospital, my brother and his family decided to come at the last minute to visit grandpa too. It was a crazy (4 kids under 4) time, but very sweet. Both Beau and I got to spend some quality time with grandpa. We didn't know it then...it was the beginning of the end for our grandpa. He went to be with Jesus Tuesday.

I WILL NEVER forget my time with him. I have a whole post on just Grandpa coming soon.

So while my trip to Oregon was bittersweet....I'm thankful my girls made memories with Papa and Gaga!

End of the Year School Program

This is one of Stella's best buds at school, Camilla! They were discussing the right motions to the songs :)

It was so cute how focused Stella was! I loved seeing her in action because I hear about these moves/songs all the time and now I can do them with her. Sometimes she lets me...other times, not so much :)

This little light is going to SHINE!

This isn't the actual performance but Stella was going to miss the last week of school because we were going to Oregon so they let me come watch a "rehearsal"

It was so fun and chaotic. Of course, once Stella saw me she wanted to sit by me...well, that defeats the purpose of me getting a sneak peek. Don't get me wrong I love watching all the kids sing, but I wanted to see my kid, ha!

I thought it was a lost cause, BUT once the music started and it was a song with motions...she ran up to the front and did GREAT!

We've loved Stella's school this year and are so blessed for all she's done and learned. The teachers are really little gifts from God.

We can't wait until next fall!

Happy 3 Months Emerson!

This little chipmunk is 3 months old!

Emerson is slowly but surely showing signs of the reflux easing some. We have our moments.

She really is happy baby. Of course, once one things starts to get better little bit is already working on her teeth and she DOESN'T like it. Nothing has popped through yet, but she is drooling like a champ and you can see/feel one at the surface.

Emerson is in 3 month and 3-6 month clothes. She LOVES her paci (unlike her older sister). She is still a great nurser and was on a good schedule until recently so we're working on that again. She sleeps great at night but isn't the best napper. We have a busy beginning of the summer but once we're back home we're going to work hard on her routine.

She stills wear size 1 diaper. Emerson LOVES to watch her big sister. If she's not playing on her playmat (that she can't get enough of) you can normally find her propped up watching Stella or enjoying the Bumbo. She doesn't like to be in one place for long, so we're always on the go.

We love you Emme!

April Showers Bring May Flowers...& Fun Outside
