Emma Jelly-Beans

4 Months old, Baby! 

I sing this song to her a lot. It's who she is.

 I've always called Emma my little Pooh Bear. 

She is short

23.5 inches (10th percentile) 

fat

15 pounds (60th percentile) 

proud of that

 Emma Jelly-Beans is lots of fun. 

(side-note: Emma's full name is Emma Josephine, 
but Lexi can't say that. 

So she's always called her Emma Jelly-Beans. 
The name stuck. We love it.) 

She smiles at everything and generally has the sweetest disposition. She is just learning to roll around and unfortunately has figured out how to scoot around on her tummy (kind of a pre-crawling). 

Good for Em, bad for Momma. 

I'm not ready for two movers just yet.

As Lexi says, "she's kinda loud"

Emma is a bit of a screech owl. 

She likes to practice using her vocal cords at a variety of pitches and volumes, but her favorite is high and loud. 

I cannot say that it is also my favorite.

 Lexi really really loves her sister now. How could you not, though? She likes to give her hugs and Eskimo kisses. 

She continues to be disappointed that Emma can't play with her yet. Someday, sister, someday all too soon you will be upset because Emma does want to play with you.

 She is waking up once a night still, sometimes twice. 

It's a grueling schedule for Mommy and Daddy, but we take turns so we each end up with a decent night's sleep every other night. 

It's not my favorite thing. 

However, for this sweet little pumpkin, I would do anything. 

It's hard to be upset with her when you walk in to a crying baby who stops to smile and giggle as soon as she sees your face.

 
so happy
