Emma went for her four month check up yesterday. She now weighs 16lbs and 27 inches long. She is in the prefect percentile for her age. She is the size of a 9 month year old. Of course she is only 4 months. We can tell by the clothes she is wearing. Well here are some pictures from our Christmas Tour 2004. We enjoyed seeing so many family and friends. Emma finally got to meet most of her family. We appreciate all of the love and support that we receive from family and friends..


she loves her mom so much

Milestones....

This weekend emma attended her first several Christmas Parties. There's a picture below of Doug's staff party at camp. They are all standing around emma, some of them meeting her for the first time (she was not born until camp was over this summer.) She's content and smiley, she makes us so proud. Even though she's not a big fan of tummy time, we have been working on this and she is now beginning to turn almost all the way over. She still pumps her little legs when she gets excited! And she is now grabbing ahold of her toys instead of just grasping for them. Lately she has had a runny nose, so we have to aperate her nose so she can breath. She has learned to recognize the blue bulb asperator and when she sees it coming for her nose, she pushes her head back as far as it will go to get away from it. She has a lot to say and will tell us all about it...if you ask her!In a few days we will be heading to Atlanta for our Christmas Tour 2004! With our need addition it should be a great time.
