Emma: Five Months!


Size/Weight: Snug in 9 month clothes, moving on in to 12 month



Sleep: Pretty dang wonderful. She goes down at 8 on the dot (if she's up at 8:04, she will happily put herself to sleep on you wherever you're at) but beware... if she does fall asleep at 8 and she's not in the crib, she will wake up when you get ready for bed, and not snooze until 10. We were trying to get her to stick to a schedule-- now she's too much the schedule queen! Napping pretty great, moving towards one big 1-2 hour nap (sometimes) and 2-3 small 30-45 minute snoozes.
Social: It's fun to catch eyes with her from across the room, to get a face full of smiles and fists in the mouth. She is so laid back, she still loves just listening and going along for the ride.

Nana snuggles

Diet: Breast milk! (Or cream top as my mom puts it. This gal doesn't have a problem with eating!)



Clothes: 12 month clothes fit best, with a bit of wiggle room for those growing piggies
Likes: Baths, and especially eating the wet washcloth afterwards, hugging my arm when I'm changing her, batting at things dangling over her, squiggling all over the play mats, her sister, singing, dancing and general silliness!

Dislikes: When she can't get her rocking horse's tail in to her mouth. Rage.
Milestones: Is becoming a little lady a milestone? I feel like she's got so much more behind the eyes now. She seems like all of a sudden she's starting to understand the world in a big way!

Norah update?: After turning three, Norah seems so much like a little lady. I can't believe how great of a big sister she is. She is always helpful, sweet to her sister (so far!), and is learning more every day it seems. Our parrot is now officially reciting nearly every book we read regularly word for word (she will correct you if you say 'theirs' instead of 'they had' type of thing) and remembers things we've done over a year ago. I'm convinced the three year old stage is just parenting practice of watching your tongue, because little minds never forget.
