Emmelyn is 4 mo!

On the 25th of April marked Emmers to be 4 mo. We had her well baby appointment today. We had to get her second round of shots which seems to get better each time for both her and mom watching! We couldn't wait to find out how much she had grew! She ended up weighing in at 13lbs 6oz (6 lbs 10 oz at birth) and 23 1/2 in length (20 in at birth). Dr. said she is perfectly in the middle on the charts and he couldn't be happier with her development. He has told me since i have been exclusively breastfeeding her to continue doing so until she is 6 mo. I'm fine with that, i enjoy being her only source of growth. Its very special and rewarding to me. So no baby food until then! He even said to stop giving her dessert ( Eric and i sneak her in a few tastes of ice cream when we get it) He said it may spoil her when it comes time to giving her the nasty bb food...makes sense to us, so were going with it. So here are some new things she has been up to:

About two weeks ago she rolled from her front to back - now that she knows how she wont stop! =)
She babbles : "na na na" "nnnngeee".

She watches Disney movies and Sprout TV with mama.

She kicks her feet in the air to grab toys.

She makes the cutest facial expressions using her eyebrows- i love it!!

She grabs at her toys and puts them in her mouth.

She loves standing on our laps and locking her legs that way. It looks like it hurts but as soon as you try and sit her on your lap after that she cries, so she must like it!

She also learned how to "fake cry" to get our attention...cute, but definitely only cute for a minute at a time! =)

Along with that comes a weird whine she does when she plays. I know she is doing it to just make noise, but to me its a definite whine. boooo.

AND THE BIGGEST!

A little over a week ago we graduated her from the bassinet in our room ,to the crib in the nursery down the hall! This was really difficult on me, she seemed so far away at first. It is the biggest test of will power on Mommy and Daddy's part not to just give up when she is crying at 2 in the morning wanting to put her in bed with us. Even though i suffer now, i know it will bring peaceful nights in the future. So were hanging in there!

That's all that comes to mind for now. I have been keeping track of milestones on this baby's calendar i started when she was born so i guess there is no point to put everything on here. Until next time!!
