Little Wildflower

Yesterday Emmy had her 1 month doctor appointment. Can you believe she's already a month old?! Even more unbelievable - her size! Here she is getting ready for her appointment:

She just finished a huge stretch while I was getting a fresh, new outfit ready for her.

She looks tiny still, don't you think? I thought so! The truth of the matter is, Emmy now weighs a whopping 9 lbs 6 oz!!! She's also grown nearly 2 inches and is now 22 inches long!!! This puts her in the 60th percentile for weight and 80th for height. You all know me - I'm pretty small. And Steve is just a smidge above average. How do we have a wildflower for a child?! I must somehow make super milk :)

Now I wanted to have a picture to show you of Emmy's fabulous athletic ability but I can't seem to have the camera available at the right times. When we play with her on her tummy she can hold her head up for minutes at a time. And she looks around, alert. Her arms are crazy strong as well as she uses them to hold her upper body up so she can look around. According to some book that Steve has these are milestones a 3 month old should be showing. It seems like we've got an athlete on our hands!

But then she wears herself out and naps in the cutest positions, like this:

I'm just so happy with my tiny and growing little Wildflower of a child!
