She is the best of all things baby: squishy, content, smiley, adorable, sleepy and peaceful. She's social yet calm-natured --really the embodiment of sweetness.
Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz (87th percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.5" (84th percentile)
In other words, she's bigger than Clara was at this age (that's saying a lot), but still smaller than Matthew Frank! She's another healthy, beautiful, vivacious tall-girl!
What she likes: She likes to be talked to! Since birth, the one thing that seems to excite her more than anything is a good conversation, although she's not likely to do much talking herself. She responds by vigorously kicking her legs and pumping her arms, and with wide eyes locked in on yours.
She also likes being sung to and paid attention to in general. Baby #3 doesn't take those things for granted.
What she can do: She can hold her head up very well, coo and giggle a bit. She can bring things to her mouth and bat at an object. She loves chewing on those hands and goes through multiple outfits and bibs per day because they're drool soaked. She can just now sit on my hip for short periods.
She has yet to roll over. She's not a motivated mover, so it may be a while.
Sleep: She is a great sleeper. For most of the past two months she has slept through the night, until 5:00 am or later (often until 7:00!). She prefers to sleep in her bed, so if she gets tired out and about during the day, it typically does not go well.
Other information: She's interested in sucking her thumb/fingers, but we're attempting to keep her from attaching to those things. Trying to break Clara of her thumb-sucking nowadays has made me wary! Oh, and she's not too interested in a bottle. We've all but given up at this point in her life.
Emily is a bundle of joy... she is such a blessing!
