4 months photo with Pooh Bear

I realized I have not taken very many photos of her lately or video either. She has done so many new things. Grandma Lala and Papa James were here to see many of her developments. She started reaching and grabbing things with more force and bringing them to her mouth. She talks A LOT. Such a sweet sound. She went that week without rolling over though. But finally, this past weekend she rolled a couple times for Blake to see. Sweet!

Nov. 12 Blake and I went to Riverside Christian School Banquet. My mom came to babysit. Thank you so much. We had fun eating a good meal and hearing the kids choir, other speakers, and laughing at Ken Davis. Emma and Mom did great for the first time being left.

This past week I found that it is one of the worst things to be sick and a mom. Worse is being sick and a mom of a sick baby. I had a fever but she did not. Yay! I'm still coughing a little. She never got over her cough from her last cold but it worsened with so much phlegm that came with this particular cold. Her left eye got runny and gunky again, but seems to be better. She needed lots of extra cuddles. We slept in the rocker/recliner in her room a couple nights. Her voice was hoarse too. So sad and pitiful. It seems like we're both on the mend now though. She slept in her bed from a little after 10pm to almost 10 this morning. She woke up to eat at about 2 and 4. Not bad. She seems better. Through it all she usually was pretty happy and smiley. She did finally do a little giggle this past weekend. Another sweet sound that she won't do very often even though her face looks like she's giggling.

Emma loves to balance on her tummy. She looks like she is swimming...kind of. heh! She also can turn all around. If we lay her one way, she will move until she is facing another way and can make it all the way around on her tummy. She looks like a slow version of a spinner from a board game. She is getting quicker at it though. Soon she will be more mobile than I realize. Get out the baby gates!!!

Here is a video of Emma trying to crawl over the boppy pillow. She usually likes doing this over my leg. She got pretty frustrated after I stopped videoing. I think it was too slippery. Usually she'll get her head onto the floor and then not know what to do. Funny!
