emmeline's four months

Miss Emmie is four months old! While I can't believe it's been another month already, this little gal is the light of our world. We're so lucky she is ours!


Emmeline is:

...becoming quite the chatterbox! She babbles and babbles, and everyday figures out a new sound to make. It's the music I want for the soundtrack of my life. I can listen to her coos and gurgles all the live long day!

...finding her tongue, along with her voice. She sticks out her tongue often and makes the silliest baby faces, and makes us giggle all day long. She's started teething and is a drooly mess sometimes and constantly gnawing on her fingers, her binky, and trying to chew on her tongue. It's so fun to watch her figure out how to work her little mortal body.

...a trooper. A cute neighbor of mine told me the other day that she loves seeing me handle this baby - like you can tell she's a 5th child because she just goes along with whatever I'm doing... And it's true. She has conformed to our chaos quite well, and shares her peaceful patience with us very often. Running kids every where, walking around the grocery store, stroller/sling/thrown on my hip or shoulder — she's usually just happy to be along for the ride.

...rolling side to side and trying to figure out how to move around. She is my only child to not hate being on her stomach. She loves being able to push herself up with her arms and look all around. She's super strong and keeps surprising me with her grip and how stable she's getting.

...just the best girl around! She loves bedtime and sleeps so well at night. She is pleasant and cheery and so beautiful! People stop me and tell me so — her baby skin is unmatched! She's cute and snuggly, tolerant of all the sisters in her face, and she loves her momma!







We love this girl so much!

We're so lucky to have all these girls. We navigate so many emotions and feelings so frequently, but good grief, they're cute!
