Emma's Fourth Month

Emma's fourth month was a busy one! We had some friends over for the Super Bowl, and we had fun cheering on our 2 favorite teams. Jim got permission from his company to work remote, so we are working hard to get our house ready to sell and move to Indy. We can't wait to be closer to our family and friends, but our friends here will be missed. Emma celebrated her first Valentine's Day! Daddy took his girls out to eat, then we came home and opened presents. That night, Grandma Debbie, Grandpa Jim, and Great-Grandpa J.J. came to visit for a week. Grandma Debbie, Mommy, and Emma went to the zoo on the 19th. Emma enjoyed her first time at the zoo. She slept for half of it, but woke up to squawking flamingos and watched them run around for a long time. She also loved to watch the manatees swim by in the aquarium and the stingrays flop around in their pool. On the 22nd, Great-Grandma and Grandpa Meegan came to visit. We went shopping and out to eat.

She is getting really good at holding her head and body up while on her tummy, and she can now roll from tummy to back. She giggles when we play and can bring toys to her mouth. She started teething, she drools and chews on things a lot. It doesn't seem to bother her so far, we can't wait to see her smile with her little teeth when they come out! She weighed just under 14 lbs. at the doctor on the 9th and 25 in. long. The evening colicky episodes are coming less frequently (thank goodness), and she is getting better at consoling herself. Emma is developing quite a personality and is a pretty happy baby!
