Dear Mary Emma,
You are four months old! You weigh 14.13 ounces and are 24 inches long. You are growing so fast and long, we can’t believe how big you are! You are taking between 25 - 30 ounces of formula a day and for the most part, sleeping through the night.
You are becoming more and more active every day. This month you started laughing for the first time and now you are really giggling! Your favorite things to laugh at are Daddy (of course!), Gabbie, and for some reason whenever we say “Aunt Laura”.
You celebrated your first Thanksgiving with Mommy, Daddy, GrandSandy, Papa, Uncle Matt and Aunt Laura, Great Granny and Great Grandad, Great Aunt Debbie and Great Uncle Robert, and cousins Katie and John. You were very sweet the entire day and the weather was nice enough for us to take you out in your stroller. You wore a pillowcase dress that Julie made for you – Emma Grace has a matching one.
We’ve had so much fun getting you ready for the Christmas season and wearing all of your fun outfits that you got at the baby showers. You are a really good sport playing dress-up!
You’ve had lots of “firsts” this month. You attended your first Holiday party for the Law School and got to meet a lot of Mommy’s coworkers.
You went to your first bridal tea in Haleyville for cousin Katie where you saw your first snow! You were not so sure about the snow, so we just took a picture from the car of it.
You tried your first bite of “food”, rice cereal. You were not a fan – spitting every last bit of it back up! You’ve also tried a bite or two of mashed potatoes and you didn’t like those so much either.
You tried the Johnny Jumper for the first time and LOVED it! We have to thank Cooper and Sadie for that one!
You are such a happy baby only fussing when you are really tired or don’t feel well. We love you more and more every day. It is such a wonderful experience to watch your little mind work as you figure out how to maneuver in this great big world. You are such a blessing to me and your Daddy. We can’t wait to see what you do “new” this month.
Hugs and Kisses!
Mommy
