A little bit about you this month...
• You are a wiggle worm! On your back, you wiggle yourself around 270 degrees and travel a good two feet while doing so.
• You are a kicking machine, and love your kick and play piano.
• You are batting at toys and grabbing your favorites - the ball rattle, the zebra, and the elephant with the wooden circle at the bottom.
• You are quite the talker! You love to watch people speak, and talk back to us with lots of oohs, ahhs, Aye-yuhs, and squeals.
• You have discovered your hands and they are always in your mouth. When you spot your toes, you always look very surprised that they are attached to your body.
• You love ceiling fans.
• You blow bubbles.
• You always want to be on the move; you want whomever is holding you to be moving, especially your Dad. He's your personal house chauffeur. You squawk, he walks.
• You love your Johnny Jump-up, and love to stand in general.
• You are a very good sitter with some assistance.
• You have a very intense Moro reflex.
• When well-rested, your witching hour has become minimal.
• You tend to nap 40 minutes on the dot after being awake 90 minutes. Once a day, you will sometimes give me a longer nap.
• You love having someone eat your cheeks! You giggled for the first time when Mom was nibbling on those chubby cheeks!
• You giggle when Lily and Mom sing the "Batman" song and the "Emi Tako" song, aka "Emi Tako" to the Batman tune.
• When you're tired, you rub your face on your Aden & Anais bamboo blanket and sing to it.
• You definitely prefer your bamboo blankets over any of the others.
• Had a rough month between your first (and second!) colds, plus you caught Influenza A. But you were a trooper and are on the mend.
• Dr. Graham says your bottom gums are swollen already, so we may be adding some teething to the sickness mix.
• We have spent a lot of time at the pediatrician this month - in addition to the flu and colds, you have been having issues maintaining your body temperature and have been having screaming fits like you are in extreme pain. The doctor thinks your reflux is becoming painful, so we may be trying some acid blockers this month to see if it helps. You had some blood drawn and were so brave! And everything came back normal.
• But, as long as you aren't tired, you are a very much a smiley, happy little girl. Lily is always saying, "Emma is so happy today!"
