February!

Here's what feels like my monthly blog update! We've spent January and February going through the trials of childcare. Awful! More on that later.

Emma had her 9 month checkup in January. She was 28 1/2 inches long (75%), the same length as her last checkup, and 15 lbs 7 ounces (5%). Because her weight gain was a little slow, her doctor has us supplementing with formula. I think she has chubbed up in the last few weeks. And we're into more of a routine of real food! I skipped the baby food and just feed her whatever we eat. She loves it.

Emma finally has a tooth! One, lonely little tooth on the bottom, but it's something. She has her two top teeth bulging, and I think the other bottom tooth is trying to come in, so we've had a little teething bear on our hands. Why does the teething have to be so bad at NIGHT??? =)



New favorite toy!

Ugh, I wasn't ready!






Emma likes to collect things in her walker.



I was trying to get her tooth, but of course she doesn't cooperate, but she made up for it in cuteness.



Favorite veggie!



Petting big sister, Daisy. See the rain and grass outside?? That was Sunday. It's white today. Wish the groundhog would be right this year.

  1. Wow, I'm really impressed that you skipped baby food all together and don't even use a food mill! It took us quite a while to transition Colten completely to our food. I thought Andrew was able to watch Emma during the day? Any luck with child care? And I hear you about the groundhog...

  2. I'm with you on this darn weather!! She's getting so big-and wow, how nice to not deal with baby food at all:) Emma probably loves the new textures and flavors! Hope teething gets better...we had the worst time with Avery so I very much understand how rough it can be. Any luck with the right childcare?
