My goodness! What a crazy month. I have not even been able to keep up with what month we are in. If my head wasn't attached, I would have already lost it. We have all been doing well, just trying to enjoy the chaos and commotion of having a mobile baby and the stress of the holiday season (isn't it the best?!) Well, like I said before, we are loving life but trying to keep up. I find myself forgetting to eat, drink, occasionally forget to brush my teeth (haha..but seriously.) I have to remind myself to take a deep breath and live each and every day to its fullest. Here is an update on this past month (actually month and a half).
- Scarlett has begun to crawl! It is incredibly hard to believe, but she's turning into a little scooter. She doesn't get too far, but I imagine that will change very soon.
- Her top teeth are starting to come in, but nothing has broken the surface yet.
- She loves green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. Bananas upset her stomach and she hates apples.
- She is still sleeping through the night. The time change threw us off a bit, but she is now sleeping from 7pm (ish) until 8:30am.
- She naps about 2 times a day. One 30 min nap in the morning and one 1 1/2 hr nap mid afternoon.
- She's still pretty calm and is reminding me more of Alex each day. She is much more relaxed like daddy and not as uptight as me (thank goodness.)
- She is a great little sitter now and less wobbly.
- She giggles all the time and loves Daphne. She thinks Daphne is the funniest thing ever.
- She is mostly interested in non-toy items: plastic bottles, wrapping paper, boxes, etc.
- She's a hair puller! Especially now that my hair is longer and dark. She must really like this dark hair because she is always grabbing at it.
- She cries mama when she upset and dada when she's happy. Go figure. She is also saying something that sounds like "OK" and "dog". Who knows.
We have really been enjoying being parents and living in Charlotte. I have met so many wonderful people and found such a great mom group that we go to on a weekly basis. They are such a blessing and a great source of encouragement. Also, Alex and I just celebrated 10 years together as a couple. I couldn't imagine a better man to spend this beautiful life with or be the father to my sweet little Scarlett. God is good! Thank you all for checking in on us!
Love and hugs,
Emily and Scarlett
