Finally updating....6 months and Thanksgiving

Sorry, I've been neglecting the blog lately. At Emily's last doctor appointment she is now weighing 12lbs 11oz, and 24.75 inches. She's still our little peanut but following the 5th percentile curve beautifully as her doctor says. She is 25th percentile in height, so she'll just be long and lean! Perfect for swimming!

Emily had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with all her Grandparents and almost all of her Aunts and Uncles. She'll get to see Uncle Chris and Aunt Erica soon though. She really enjoyed the turkey!





She also got to spend time with her cousin Arianna.



After Thanksgiving we put up the tree and Emily helped me hang up her own ornament!



Hopefully I stay on the ball and update well during Christmas, keep on the lookout soon for our Christmas cards!

Happy Halloween!!

5 Months

5 months old already! Time really flies. Emily went to the doctor last Thursday and she gained a little over a pound in a month. She is now 11 lbs 11 oz. That means we finally started rice cereal! She has taken to it so well, eating every bite we prepared for her. She seems to really enjoy it!



Also, Emily has cut her first tooth! This process has not been very fun for her or us. She has kept us up at night a few times. Now that the first tooth has cut we got about 3 nights of good sleep and now the second one is starting to bother her. I was up every 3 hours last night. Hopefully this one comes through quickly!

Here is a video of her first rice cereal experience!

4 Months

So I'm a few days late at updating, we've been really busy lately. Emily is getting bigger everyday. She had her 4 month check up on Monday. She only weighs 10lbs 7oz so she's pretty little. That puts her into the 3rd percentile. The doctor didn't seem worried, she said that Emily was perfect. We are not starting rice cereal yet since we have had some nursing issues. She goes back next month for a weight check and I'm sure we'll start it then.

Emily had a busy week earlier this month. We flew to Ft Lauderdale because Eric had a coaching convention. She was awesome on the flight sleeping the entire time. Even with kids screaming right behind us. Emily played in the ocean for the first time. Lots of playtime in the pool. Plus she met Olympians Gary Hall Jr. and Katie Hoff, and wore a gold medal. We had a great time!!

Giggles

Caught on camera! Her giggles are so cute!!

Changes

Here's a collage of pictures from Day 1 to Month 3

3 Months and our 3 year Anniversary

Yesterday was Emily's 3 month birthday and also Eric and I's 3 year anniversary. She is getting bigger by the day!! Almost every picture I took she had her hands in her mouth. I think they are becoming her favorite toy! She's been having a little trouble sleeping lately, waking up at 3:30 every morning. Luckily the last couple of days have been better. I asked Eric to get up with her last night as my anniversary present and she happened to sleep all night. He got lucky!!

2 weeks ago Emily went swimming for the first time. We dunked her a few times and only got upset when she was out of the water because she was cold. She did very well! Eric might have to switch her training from the bathtub to the pool sooner than expected!


Hopefully she grows into her swimsuits soon!


Emily also had her first trip to Purdue. Early registration of course. I promise she is in her stroller, you just can't see her. She was so excited she just fell asleep.
