4 Months as a Lewman!!

Lovely in Lime!

 4 Months – 1/3rd of a year old! Emmaline has had one incredible month.  I will start off with her 4 month check up.  She weighs 14.8 lbs and is 24.5” long.  She is 75% chubbier than babies her age (ha!) and 61% taller than babies her age.  So, she is definitely growing out of clothes both ways…which just gives me more reason to change her more often! She is VERY strong and can now sit up without her head bobbing around.  She is gripping everything, including my hair.  She loves to pull on it and get baby slime all over it.  Her doctor said she is growing just perfectly and he said she is a real talker.  She coos and yelps and blows a lot of bubbles.  She is even ready for real food.  Last night we tried some creamy bananas that I thought were divine but she didn’t quite care for them yet.  All in due time!   The most heart warming milestone this month is smiling/giggling.  I never knew I could feel the way I do when she smiles or giggles.  Every morning she is so happy and loves to look at Mama and Daddy. I imagine it only gets better from here!



Grandmother, Mother, Grand-Daughter, Great Grand-Daughter



I had my first Mothers Day with little Emmy and she was so sweet!  She made me a card and gave me a beautiful pink tea rose bush.  Tye and I took the Mothers (Judi, Carol & Helen) to lunch and just relaxed.  It was a very special day to have 4 generations together.  The only way I can describe it is like having another birthday!  You just feel honored and loved.  Hayden and his Mom Jenny painted me a pot with Iris’s and gave me a handmade card inside a water-colored butterfly paper bag with a glass fired candle holder. It was beautiful and I now realize how special those little gifts are.



Emmy in her Bumbo



Emmy rolled over twice this month, once for me and once for my Grandma.  Granted they were both on a bed so we’re not entirely sure if it qualifies as “rolling over”.  She still loves tummy time and still face scoots as far as possible.  We bought her a Bumbo to sit in which helps her sit up and allows Mama to get more housework done!  I might start a little collage of pictures of her sitting in the Bumbo in all the different rooms.  Doing laundry, doing my makeup, doing dishes, making dinner, pulling weeds!  She is happy wherever she goes!  The video below is short but cracks me up when Tye moves her around the house in the Bumbo. Bee-bee-be-beeeep!

We went to the Rose Festival with our pals Michael and Caitlin as Emmy watched Hayden, Michael and I get dizzy on rides.  She loved all the high-fashion people watching!  She is getting a lot of social interaction at daycare with another baby and two 2 year olds. Let's see how she does every Sunday while her parents play softball! Tye and I are on a softball team with friends and although we have pulled some muscles and complained about aching joints…we’re pretty confident about our season! 

Superman!!

The Lewmans are looking forward to the month ahead with BBQ’s, Hayden starting flag football and our first trip to Medford to visit good friends Alex & Hilary -  which will prompt a visit to Wild Safari.  Let’s see how well Miss Emmaline does with 4th of July fireworks!  See you next month :)
