All about Emory - 10 Weeks!

It's hard to believe Emory is 10 weeks already. Some people are surprised to know that the days just fly by for me, but right now they do.

Here is some of what she's doing:
  • She started smiling right around 7 weeks. She smiles now when someone talks to her, as long as she's not hungry.
  • She also will "talk" to us when we talk to her.
  • She is the best little baby and usually only cries when she is hungry.
  • At her two month doctor visit she was 10 lbs, 3 oz and 21 &1/2 inches. She was 5o% for everything.
  • Sleeps in her swing, her bouncer or swaddled in the bassinet.
  • Is staying awake longer now and will just sit in the bouncer or swing and look around.
  • Doesn't like tummy time but is good at lifting her head.
  • Has rolled from belly to back a few times but not consistently.
  • She's a once a day pooper! This is nice since the twins are about 5 a day each.
  • Her nicknames are Em, E, & EmmaRoo
  • Not really on a schedule - takes 4 oz (I think she needs more) every 2 -3 hours during the day and naps in between most bottles.
  • Night time! - Slept through the night Sunday night! Talk about wonderful. This is a record for our family. Kaleigh was 10 weeks and the twins were at least 6 months. She slept from 10 to almost 7 and has done it two more times since. Of course I still had to get up and pump but I shouldn't have to for much longer.
I think that's about all. We're enjoying her. Kaleigh loves to hold her and talk to her. She tells her "when you grow up you're going to be our sister". HA! Avery and Alexis give her kisses and love to run their fingers through her hair. Nathan loves cuddling her and giving her tons of kisses too.

How could you not want to smother that girl with kisses!!?? So pretty! WAY TO GO for sleeping through the night. I know that helps you through the next day too. The smiles they give you are always so encouraging, aren't they? :)

Yay for sleeping through the night!!! Even if it's not constant, anything is great. I am sooo jealous right now, Gavin is certainly not sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. She's precious, I still can't get over her hair, it's beautiful.

That is so sweet Shelly. She is just as darling as the other 3! And good for you for making time to blog about her even though she is your FOURTH and you are running in 16 directions all at once. She'll appreciate knowing that she was still remembered and special even though she's the caboose! (David's youngest sister still gives his mom grief about that-ha!)
