Emma is now 17.8 lbs, 25.5 in, and 42 cm head circumference, AKA: OFF THE CHARTS/95%/75%!
She can do a nice airplane in the air when you hold her above you, pull herself up if you hold her arms, stand if you assist her, and was pretty strong all around. These days they don't predict that you will be "this tall or this weights" because there are many factors that come into play, but they said she is the size of most 7.5-8 month old, but is proportioned so they don't worry at all.
Emma and food:
Emma loves her milk. Now we have her bottle filled to 8oz so that she can have as much as she wants to fill her up (obviously she will leave about 1-2 oz left over). This way she will stay fuller longer, instead of every 3 hours she should be eating about every 4 hours.
Emma is still experimenting with pureed food. I am making the pureed food for Emma. I have a baby food maker that Bo's parents got us for Christmas that will steam and puree the food all in one. She has tasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and prunes! So far, she likes sweet potatoes and prunes. I am going to make her some carrots this week to see how well she does with them. I did buy one organic jar of pears to test those out soon before I buy a ton of fruit that will go bad fast.
Emma prefers milk over food right now... I think the texture still feels pretty weird on her tongue.
Emma and developmental milestones:
Emma is doing great! She loves her jumperoo that has really got her exercising those thighs hehe! Her legs are very strong! She loves to stand with assistance or hang out for about 30 minutes in her jumperoo. Also, she can take a few steps forward before she kneels to the ground.
Emma loves to watch you communicate with her and then attempt to talk back. She coo's many different sounds! She loves to be active at home doing tummy time, hanging out in your lap, pretending to walk around, moving about the house with you, etc..., rather than sitting around in her bouncer or swing (she does like to be in her swing to begin the nap process!!).
Emma still loves her pacifier... she has not yet begun to suck her thumb. Sometimes she does chew on her fingers/hand. I think she might begin teething soon, but she doesn't like to chew on teethers just yet.
Rolling over hasn't happened thus far, but she has tried to kick her legs over to roll onto her side.
Emma and clothes:
Emma is in 6 month clothes now! She is too long for 3 months... BIG GIRL!
Emma and school:
Emma has done great at her daycare. I receive a daily "report card" on her feeding, naps, and diaper changes, plus any extra info. They are very nice there and always welcoming me at any time. She just had her school pictures done on Tuesday, and I can't wait to order the package and share!
Emma and sleeping at home:
Emma just moved from the bassinet to her very own room and crib last night!!! She did absolutely wonderful. She went to bed pretty easily at 9pm and woke up at 2:30am. Daddy went down there to feed her a bottle and she fell right asleep after eating. Emma, Mommy, and Daddy slept so good that we almost didn't wake up in time to get ready, and on the road for Mommy to get us to daycare and work! We have a great baby monitor that acts as a video camera with sound for us to watch her at night and hear her if she needs to be checked on.
That is all I can think of right now! Will post more soon! Hope you all are having a great day <3

4 months! Wow!
Emma is 4 months, already! She weighed 16.8 oz and was 25.25 inches long at an appointment on February 10th! She has her 4 month appointment to get her second round of shots this Saturday, so we will see what she has gained (in weight and length). She was/is in the 95th for weight and 90th for height... so she is still doing great! I will update after Saturday with more pictures and information after her appointment! Hard to find extra time these days :(
