3 Months

Emerson Kate - 3 Months Old

We have officially been a family of four for 3 months now. Emerson turned 3 months old on Wednesday. She won't have a well check this month, but the last time I weighed her (about 2 weeks ago), she weighed 12 lbs 6 oz. I don't have any clue about her length and she's asleep right now or I'd measure her. She definitely looks longer to us though.



Brag points:

• Her little personality is being expressed more and more each day - she loves to smile and "talk." She just babbles and babbles carrying on conversations with the frog on the toy bar on her carrier and the bee that dangles from her swing. They are quite lengthy conversations!
• She eats about every 4-4.5 hours. Looking at her rolls this may surprise you, but she is still 100% breastfed.
• She wears size 3 month clothing and size 2 diapers.
• She takes 3-4 naps a day ranging from 1 hour to 3 hours. Just as with Jackson when he was this age, we have no schedule. *sigh*
• She sleeps from 8:30pm to around 4am before she wakes to eat. She'll then go back to sleep until about 7:15am.
• She found her hands on August 26th and hasn't stopped admiring them since. She will just look at them for a while and then decide they look pretty tasty and into the mouth they go.
• Lately she has figured out she can use her hands to play with the toys on her carrier, swing & play mat. I love it that she can somewhat entertain herself for short periods of time!
• Her best friend is Jackson, which warms my heart! She lights up when she sees him. He is still very affectionate towards her and has started coming to let me know if she is crying if I'm in the bathroom or laundry room and don't jump the second she starts crying. In the car, he tries with all his might to reach her pacifier if she has dropped it, but usually he can't.
• She can sit easily in the Bumbo - back at 2 months, she could sit there, but slowly she would begin to fold over, but that doesn't usually happen anymore. She does not have enough balance & control to sit up completely in the Boppy pillow, but we'll get there!

This is how our 3 month chair photo shoot went:

Notice the elephant that Jackson just knew Emerson wanted with her

Awww...

He kicked her leg as he was getting down - poor pumpkin!

Uncle Bryan is funny!

Ah, tummy time. Her favorite! Notice her reflection in the mirror.

Little Emme, Little Emme did you know that you're so pretty?

Happy 3 Months! We love you, sweet girl!
