4 Month Update

Blogging is hard.  It's crazy to think how fast the past two months have gone since I last posted something. Life has been very busy since I went back to work a little over a month ago.  It has been a pretty smooth transition for me and while I miss spending my days cuddling with Emma, it is nice to get back into the swing of things at the library.  We have been incredibly fortunate with the timing of Em's arrival in that there was only a 2 week gap between me going back to work and Eric getting the summer off.  Emma has some very amazing grandparents who came and watched her for those weeks.  Eric's mom watched her for one week and my parents covered the second.  Knowing that Emma is with family has made the transition to work so much easier.  Yeah family!

In other Emma news, she turned 4 months old yesterday and as a birthday present to herself, she taught herself a new trick.

More truthfully, she just really doesn't like tummy time and has figured out this is the best way out of it! She has been really close to rolling over from her back to her belly for about the last 3 weeks but she just can't quite get the hang of where her sholder needs to go. We really weren't expecting her to roll belly to back at all so it was quite the surprise. 

Miss Independent has also decided that she is unhappy with how we feed her and has taken upon herself to hold the bottle.  At first is was kinda cute and funny but truthfully, she is strong and it has become really difficult to take the bottle away from her when we need to burp her (which is still about 3-4 times a feeding to help with her acid reflux).  Nothing quite like wrestling with a 4 month old for a bottle!


Emma's Current Favorite Things:

• Past Time - Busy Bee, a stuffed bee that has a variety of patterns/colors/textures, makes krinkley noises and apperently tastes good
• Book - Olivia probably because there is a lot of red which seems to be her new favorite color
• Song - Little Bunny Foo-Foo as played by her play piano thing
• Music - Everything!
