4 Months Old

Emily is four months old!! At four months old, she attempts to stand up against the sofa. She also flips pages and drools a lot. She likes licking/sucking her fingers when she is hungry or sleepy. She is quiet, gentle, contented and happy. We just moved the coffee table out so that she can have a big play area in the living room. The next thing is to baby-proof the whole house.

Emily had four-month check up today. She is still an A+ girl!!! Her weight is 14.5 lb (75%). Her height is 25.8 in (97%). Our pediatrician suggested us to begin adding iron-fortified rice cereal.

Amy, Kendall and Chloe were here for the weekend. Amy had her baby shower in Kyri's house. I made a diaper cake as practice. It was a lot of fun. On Emily's four months old birthday, the weather was beautiful. Both Chloe and Emily had their pretty spring dresses (I can't believe that I didn’t take a picture of them together …) We attended the second service. During the prayer time, Gordon came down from the pulpit to pray for Todd Miller’s family. Then he saw us. So he walked over to pray for Emily. That was the sweetest thing. He prayed for Emily’s development and for our parenting. On the way to lunch, David said “Parenting does require patience!” “Why do you say that?” I asked. “Gordon prayed for us for patience.” We are really impressed by our preacher’s personal touches on the church members. We had lunch at SpringCreek BBQ. Before Emily could take a nap, we had to go back for Friendspeak. It got hot in the car. So I took Emily into the Friendspeak room. So many people wanted to talk to her and touch her. She was exhausted in the end. We barely had time to have a feeding and diaper change before the “Made in the Street” missionary report. But we didn’t stay to the end. Emily had another long and busy Sunday!

Here are a few recent pictures:
