Been a bit...

I know it's been almost a month since I last posted. And so much has happened!!

Emma is getting so big now. She's going to be 4 months next weekend. Here's some of her accomplishments to date:
  • She can roll from her back to her belly almost every time.
  • She now sits on my hip like a big girl.
  • She just started holding her own bottle! She's kind of always put her hand to her bottle but now she legitimately holds it. Sometimes she uses one hand to prop the bottle from underneath and the other to guide it. Or she will hold it like she's supposed to. Her Nonna got a picture of the first time Emma *really* held her bottle.
First time Emma held her bottle!!

    She is such a big girl!
  • She's changed up her sleep schedule AGAIN! Now we do bath time around 8:30, hen a baby massage and a nighttime feeding. She usually falls asleep around 9 or so. But now she wakes up at 2:45am every morning! Then she eats and falls back asleep by 3:30. Since Daddy wakes up at 4:30, I really only get an hour nap from 2:45am until we all go to sleep at 10pm. I am one sleepy Mommy!
  • She laughs all the time! She loves playing and hanging out. She'll stare at Daddy when he's talking and then just burst out into a HUGE grin! And we'll spend hours just making popping sounds. She loves that!

  • We are probably going to start "real" food soon. But for us that means we are going to actually make the food. With all the problems she had with formula, I don't think a pre-made baby food would work. 
  • We went to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend. I think it was more for Daddy and I! Lol She had some fun at the end but it's just so cold up here. Being there made me miss my hometown even more. I could have taken her to Jackson's Orchard like I did as a kid. Picked some apples and pumpkins at the same time. Made cider. Things like that.

Look at that 'Tude!

Not as thrilled with the animals up close

I think that's a legit hug from my baby!
  • Her Halloween costume came in. I cannot wait to see her in it!
  • We went to her aunt's birthday and everyone said how adorable she is. I have to say: I agree!!
  •  I already have a few Christmas presents, both for her and for a few family members. I know she's not going to really remember this Christmas, but I'm still really excited!
We have some family coming in to meet her this weekend. And then going to see her other grandpa for his birthday. It's a busy October. And I can't wait to see what November has for us!
I might be biased, but I think she's the most beautiful baby girl!!

My little Chunker!! Look at her go after that bottle!!
