February 2012

Emma is already 4 months old...time is flying by!!! At her four month doctor's appointment she weighed in at 13 pounds, 7 ounces (40th percentile for her age).  We started her on solid foods and so far she is doing very well with them.  Every morning she has rice cereal and for dinner she has been eating peas and green beans.  She is working her way through the vegetables and then she will get to try fruit. If she takes after her mommy she will love fruit!

We are noticing changes in Emma almost daily....she is such a big girl now! She is working on rolling over and has it down except for pulling out that one arm that gets stuck underneath her every time!  We are amazed at how strong and active she is. She also likes to sit in the Bumbo chair in the morning while Mommy and Daddy get ready for work (she loves watching herself in the mirror). 

Our baby girl also took her first big trip this month...to Cancun!  The entire John family was there for the celebration of Sedona's 25th anniversary, and it was so much fun for Emma to meet that whole side of the family. :) She got to hang out with the family at the beach, pool and even went on her first boat ride! Emma did great on the plane and mommy and daddy were so proud of her for being such an easy baby to travel with. 

In March, Emma and Mommy get a week off of school for Spring Break!  Her grandma and great grandma (from Mommy's side of the family) will be visiting from Alaska.  It will be a fun-filled week for Emma of playing, reading lots of books, and of course, shopping! :)
