Three months with our little Miss, and I'm begging for her to stay little as long as possible. Time is a thief and I feel like these days are passing too quickly. Our gaggle of girls keeps us busy, but I've been trying to soak in every day.
Emmeline is:
... my best sleeper. All of my girls have been decent sleepers, but Emmie has been the earliest most consistent, longest sleeper. It's so nice. Lately all of my older girls have been the ones keeping us up at night, while sweet Emmie just snoozes away.
... finding her voice! She's started singing and chattering, and does this funny beatbox like sound where she keeps her mouth closed, but tried to talk. It it hilarious! I can listen to her sweet little voice all day.
... trying to roll and sit up — all of those core muscle moves. She is super strong and has a death grip that it hard to break! She loves standing up and bouncing on her legs, and likes being on her side.
... our most intense momma's girl. It's Mom or nothing almost all of the time. She is tolerant of others for a tiny while, but she will always calm right down for me. I haven't minded it - I love snuggling her and holding her and when she nuzzles her little face into my neck or a chunk of my hair, I swear it melts away my troubles. This girl is healing for the soul. [And maybe she'll share in the future and broaden her healing circle to snuggle more than just me haha]
... just so sweet. She is a piece of heaven and brings such joy and peace to our not-so-little family. She is so loved!
God is so generous to give these beautiful souls to us. With each new addition, His plan gets clearer to me of how much He wants us to be happy, and gives us families to help us along the journey back to Him.
Our life is crazy and messy, but joyful and so wonderful.
