Emi's checkup

Emi had her four-month checkup this morning. She weighs 13 pounds 5 ounces and is 27 inches long (97th percentile!). Her head circumfrence is 16 inches. She is healthy, thriving, and took her shots like a champ!

She loves taking a bath in this Blooming Bath from my friend Theresa that fits right in a sink.

A "playdate" last week with two of her baby friends.

Emi has been my walking buddy every Thursday night while Todd and Alaina go to a financial class he's been helping teach (Alaina plays with the kids). Emi loves being outside and I love going for walks, so we both have enjoyed it a lot.



There are more sister pics over at Alaina's blog right now, so check them out.

Sisters

The following photos show a play-by-play of Alaina and Emmeline kinda/sorta playing together. It was the first time they seemed to be really interacting a lot in a way that was enjoyable to both of them. With such a big age difference, I will treasure these sorts of moments because they might not come often.
In other news, Emi started playing with her toes today. She even grabbed them when I said, "Where are your toes?" This may have been purely coincidental, but as her mommy I reserve the right to call her brilliant.

Updated to add that last night she slept from about 10-8!! :-)

I love seeing this face every morning!

Sometimes after her first feeding of the morning she just falls into a deep sleep and takes a snooze on our bed looking very cozy:

First laugh

It seems really early, but we're pretty sure Todd made Emi laugh for the first time tonight. He was being silly with her and we both heard the laugh and he said her belly even moved. :-)

Two-month checkup

Emi weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces (75th percentile) and is 24 inches long (97th percentile). She did great with getting her vaccinations. Oddly, at the end of the appointment I noticed I was covered in blood that must've been shed when she got her shots. Alaina was very patient during the appointment and helped me with the stroller. Emi is in a good mood now -- hopefully she won't feel too miserable after the shots.
